Well done Jimmy, What a lad is my fav podcast.
It’s so enjoyable i particularly love the structure of the conversations, your guests become so relaxed with your calm, fun, cheeky interactions.
Guests share insights not heard before which is always followed up with a solid audience interaction and on the spot questions. Perfect content creators and not your questions ! Genius !
Living in NSW this keeps me engaged, entertained and present.
Love all the episodes James, Kia Ora!
Essential weekly listening. Great Lads.
So smooth. James Marshall is a master conversationalist. Nobody better. He somehow seduces hard rugby men into revealing funny anecdotes and personal insights that no other podcaster gets. It’s magic every time out.
Sidestep the sports journos and get to the source.
This is one of my favourite poddies. The banter and humour is off the charts.
I love the humanisation that he gives to the guys we see on the field from day to day.
It allows them, and us, to relate to the fact that they are just lads, on a bigger stage!
Keep it up Jimmy Ma. Love your work bro
