Only started listening in the past few months. Find Hutchy very easy listening and he will actually give you proper insights which I like.
The Stefanovic/Stokes/NRL rights pod was the best one by far (that I’ve listened to).
This should be the template… 2/3 main issues discussed each week. Not a whole heap of little issues.
The tit for tat around which journos are feuding is tiresome tbh and neither interesting nor entertaining.
Overall enjoy the pod though.

How is the listening audience meant to feel about the clear and obvious fact this pod is now determined to be a PR arm of the 7 network?
Happy to consume the content but it does feel compromised now with the cross promotion of shows like Spotlight. Only problem for the hosts is the audience is now so aware of what is considered good media product and shows like Spotlight lost all credibility long ago which means the hosts are selling messages the audience don’t believe.
I really love this podcast, love the business/media in sport angle. Really enjoy it.
I like the show but the obvious ABC bashing is a snorefest. We get it Hutchy the national broadcaster is your competitor and you want to take it down. Do you think we don’t see that?
Hutchy is okay, but Barrett is just whiny flog.

This show blends blunt sports takes with media analysis and light political commentary, delivered by a regular duo bantering through rapid-fire statements, personal anecdotes, and guest moments. Episodes frequently cover sports administration, broadcasting rights, sponsorships, and the influence of legacy media figures, all with a candid, irreverent tone. A branded sponsor segment is a recurring thread, and the dynamic between the hosts—sharp-witted, opinionated, and often at odds—gives the show its distinctive rhythm. The format and topics likely appeal to listeners who want timely critiques of sports media, high-profile sports stories, and broader cultural happenings, delivered with humor and a Melbourne-rooted perspective.
