He’s worked all over the world, saving thousands of lives in the process. He joins Joe and Tom to discuss the mental and physical challenges of such a demanding, technical career.Listen and subscribe to The Joe Marler Show here - new episodes every Wednesday!The Football Ramble, the original and best football podcast.
