The Shortfalls Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/the-shortfalls We cover the stories of professional athletes whose careers were short-lived doing deep dives into their life stories from their early rise and history in the sport, the time they spend in the professional league, and what led to their downfalls. Our podcast isn’t focused on any one sport or any lasting popularity of athletes that fell short of their potential. Instead, we like to provide informative episodes on a wide range of athletes, some who may be well-known and some who may be underreported, but our goal is to teach our listeners something new regardless of who is the subject of our podcast. If you are a sports fan who is interested in hearing more about the pressures athletes face in the professional league whether it be physical or mental that can sometimes be too much to bear, then we are for you.
