  • 2 episodes a week is too much

    Episodes way too long and way too often. I skip the interviews because it’s just too much.

    Paul, please do not interrupt Chloe while she is talking her time is just as valuable as yours.

    Lots of netball content but the obsession with mentioning American sports is off putting.

  • Please sort out the sound

    A lot of interesting content by almost unlistenable with the quality and variance of sound between the two presenters. Chloe’s is ok but Paul sounds is so poor , sound alike he’s in a large echoing space.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Commonwealth Games 2026: New Zealand Takes Gold; David Parsons Interview
Q: David, this is the second time that England has finished fourth at a Commonwealth Games in as many editions. What's gone wrong? What's happened?
Parsons acknowledged the need for reflection, pointed to gaps in performance against top nations, highlighted a young squad with injuries and absences, and emphasized ongoing development and the challenge of matching higher standards from New Zealand and Australia.
Nat Metcalf OUT, Ella Clark IN & Anna Stembridge reacts
Q: Anna, you've called in Ella Clark to replace Nat in the press release. You mentioned her connection to Jess Shaw and her bringing a richer depth of options in attack. But a lot of folks will be wondering why you didn't go for Alyssa Skolls, a wing attack with that established connection to Liv Cheen. Could you perhaps explain that a little bit?
Anna explains that selection was not about a simple swap; the coaching staff evaluated who had been training best, who was in form, and the overall balance and tactical diversity needed for the tournament. The aim was to maximize connections, shooting support, and adaptability across multiple matchups, not just replace one role with an identical counterpart.
Tania Obst Unlocked: The Big Interview
Q: You've talked about culture a lot. Does that make you proud when you hear players describe Adelaide as a family, and what does culture mean to you in practical terms?
Culture is built from shared purpose, clear values like family and accountability, and leaders inducting newcomers into that story. It's visible in ongoing behaviors, the way staff mentor players, and the way players support each other on and off the court. Obst emphasizes that culture should survive leadership changes and remain a living part of every decision the team makes.
Tania Obst Unlocked: The Big Interview
Q: I mean, Tania, you make it almost sound easy there, just the way you spoke through that. But of course, you mentioned also those false starts. I wanted to ask you about that because it did take you some time to get to the success you are at now. I wonder how much time do you need? Is it fair in coaching to expect results straight away?
There were years of gradual development, COVID interruptions, and deliberate investments in youth and staff. The process involved learning from near-misses, bringing in a third coach to delineate roles, and continuously refining both culture and pipeline. The key was consistent progression, patience, and keeping faith in the long-term plan rather than chasing quick fixes.
Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games Preview with Karen Greig
Q: What about the impact of CPA/SSN dynamics and player development for next year?
The CPA situation affects decisions around whether players stay in SSN or seek opportunities abroad; the priority is ensuring the best development path for athletes while sustaining competitive integrity of the league.
