  • Homophobic

    Has been going down hill for a long time.

    One of the cohosts uses homophobic language.

  • Serious potential if..

    Never listened to a podcast with such potential, ruined by one co host.

    Scooter is fantastic. Provides insightful information and opinions - with contacts within the club often drop feeding information. Really interesting listen.

    Grant on the other hand is a completely bizarre addition to the show. Talks an awful lot (often over scooter) and says nothing. Provides analysis that a 13 year old would observe. Repetitive, dull, uninteresting. Runs the fans Facebook page like a dictator and can’t... more

  • The best Bombers fan podcast

    I've been listening to the lunchtime catchup since 2019 and a paid Patreon member since 2021.

    I recommend the lunchtime catch-up podcast to all of my Bombers supporting friends and family.

    Scott and Grant combined give a balanced fans perspective, with a long history of supporting the club and in more recent years have connections to some inside the club together with insights from training watchers to share even more of an insight into the happenings on and off the training track.

  • Thanks guys

    Appreciate you taking the time to give the fans some feedback after the sad and disappointing start to our ‘26 season. Awful performances. Terrible for us at home to watch that stuff. Glad to hear you are as fundamentally challenged - as supporters - as we are. Very close to permanently broken now.

  • Mixed have stopped listening

    If you want two hosts who can’t pronounce the players’ names including an offputting dude who coughs all the time with mid takes and analysis, then this is a pod for you.

    There is so much defending the indefensible (they gotta pay the piper in exchange for club access I guess)
