Lactic Acid with Dominique Smith
Welcome to Lactic Acid, the podcast where the ideas are ripe, the takes are fresh - which makes us the best in the bunch. The goal of this podcast is to bridge the gap between those who make our sport unique and the fans that follow. This podcast will be centered on getting to know the personalities off the track, what makes them unique as human beings, rather than just track and field athletes. The show will include athletes, coaches, journalists and creative storytellers who make the sport unique.
