Porter Robbins is a sports nut from Los Angeles, California. When he isn’t playing club baseball, he’s shooting hoops, kicking a soccer ball, surfing or skateboarding. When he’s not playing, he’s watching the professionals (the LA Lakers and LA Dodgers are his favorites).
And when Porter’s not watching or playing, he’s reporting on US sports for Newsy Pooloozi! (Oh, and he has a thing for speaking Australian, right, mate?)
Looking back and forward for our 100th episode with super-duper special guest Mindy Thomas of Wow in the World helping us celebrate!
