The Pongcast
Welcome to the official podcast of the Ping Pong-A-Thon. We bring communities together and unite them under one cause: bringing freedom to the world's most vulnerable. The fun and freedom of table tennis is our weapon of choice to bring slavery to an end. When you play, people are freed.
