The Top 25 Under 25 has evolved from something small to a project that takes over the full site at the end of summer, and has recently expanded into a podcast feature. This year we produced more episodes than ever and had a huge variety of guests to bring an added depth to the information of the ranked players.
Over the past month, we broke the record with number of downloads, and I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who listened and spread the word of the podcast. The most important part of the series are the guests, and this time we have had some of the best guests in the history of the podcast, with a combined knowledge second to none.
You will find all the episodes collected below.
