Eric Kokish on Sorry Partner Podcast

The latest episode of the Sorry Partner Podcast features Eric Kokish. He will discuss what it's like being a world class bridge coach and what it feels like sitting at the table while people are playing the convention named after you! You can listen on sorrypartner.com or on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Stitcher etc.
