#51: Ducks as College Football Teams
Duck season is fast approaching. College Football Season has already started. How does a wayward outdoors podcast combine the two? Simple – we take the AP Top 10 and assign them duck species that correlate to their various program identities. Oh. And Emily drafts country music singers. And maybe rappers.
