  • Like any good top order, this podcast leaves anything outside off stump but will punch back topics past the bowler for an easy two. Maybe four.

  • Nailed!

    Wow! This is far better than even this biased Aussie expected!! The banter and chemistry between the panel is excellent. The production quality is generally A standard (some of your guests may need to be closer to the mike). It is very listenable - particularly if you listen to it while on some other mind-numbing task. It comes into its own when accompanying lawn mowing or Z-Grade carpentry sessions in the shed!

    Congratulations guys: great guests, great knowledge, great banter, great quality!
