Dan Hooker Answers UNHINGED Fan Questions from Instagram
Episode Description
UFC legend Dan Hooker called into the Podlab studios for one of the most memorable podcast episodes I’ve done so far- if you are yet to listen, it is well worth checking out.
After the podcast wrapped up, Dan was already running extremely late for his TV commitments at Sky, but he generously stuck around a bit longer so I could ask him questions that were shared with me on Instagram.
