5-3 Mavs Magazine

This is the final edition of Mavs Magazine for the 2014-15 season! Thanks to all for listening all year long, and especially to those of you here. It's one thing to listen because you're in your car and I'm on the station you normally listen to, but to actually take the time to find the podcast is a whole other level of dedication as a listener. I appreciate that. I'll try to write on occasion in absences of the show during the off-season, so keep checking back!
