Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 39 ratings
  • Atkinson loves the sound of his own voice

    Atkinson sounds like an entitled toff. Unprepared, doesn’t do his research and always makes smart alec comments.

    Would be fantastic if the podcast was just Worthington and Payten.

  • Best Aussie Rugby News Pod going ‘round

    Always informative and good natured. The best Aussie Rugby pod for off-field news and how to get the game into better health in Australia. Extra bonus is having a bunch of my own opinions coming out of Atko’s mouth which means he’s really smart (and humble like me).
