Jordan Hunter on His First Year with the Phoenix, Roster Changes, and Oscar Season Movie Reviews

Jordan Hunter joins the podcast to reflect on his first season with South East Melbourne, his time with the Boomers, and how he's building a voice off the court through podcasting, filmmaking, and comedy.
