About this episode
Laura Sogar didn't make the Olympics in swimming, but does have the guts to get on stage and tell jokes. The 2013 NCAA Champion in the Women's 200 Breast for the University of Texas, Sogar no longer swims but she does make people laugh. She does two weekly podcasts, both with plenty of humor.
