Death by Multimedia

Can you believe it has been fifty years since The Goodies first aired? I still can't, but it is fact still the same. The trio of Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie, inspired and entertained a generation with their irreverent humour and ability to poke fun at so many facets of life. While I tend to waffle on a bit here, I talk about my favourite memories of the show and how they influe...

This week it's back to my favourite subject - cricket! Firstly we have a look at how the TV networks have sought to impose their demands on Cricket Australia to implement changes to the popular Big Bash League in order to get what they want out of their contract, and not what is best for the sport. Then we have a discussion on Australia's Test squad as chosen for the upcoming series against India,...

We've made November, and the major footy codes have finally had their season run and won. And as always, there are a few stories that come to the fore during the finals series. As always, I decide to have my say on a few of those moments, and add some thoughts as to where we could go in the future - and as ever that is usually back to the past!

This month one of the most underrated but brilliant heavy metal bands of all time, Gamma Ray, celebrated their 30 anniversary, and I have been lucky enough to have been along for the ride for all of that time, and for what had led up to the band's formation. This episode is my tribute to a band that I think has few equals. Here is a remembrance of days past and how music blends in with it so much.

The all new sports talk show, where the greatest sporting minds don't always reside in the greatest sporting bodies. This week sees likely regular panelists John Cincotta and Daniel Reilly talk their way through a likely NRL finals series, the just-completed T20I series between England and Australia, and other sporting tidbits to excite even the most nauseatingly boring sports fan.

Cricket has finally begun to filter back into our field of vision, with the IPL about to start and the Australians touching down in England for some ODI and T20 action. Along the way the mankad has come back into the discussion as well as the bad light law, and even a question of again reshuffling the Australian season ahead. Come and join me for a 30 minute walk through some of the issues that ha...

My knowledge of football in general is at a very basic level, despite a joy in watching the game and finding teams worthy of my support. Mixed in with a personal history of my football journey, we also have a quick review of the Premier League season with special guest Josh Peters, and also discuss possible future directions for Australia's A League in the hope to build it to the level it wants to...

Time to run the gauntlet yet again and bring up the unfortunately touchy subject that few of us can discuss with allowing emotion to overrule the discussion. Also today, we relive the amazing career of Music Producer and Engineer, Martin Birch, who sadly passed away this week. Live After Death indeed...

With Victoria down for the count, and New South Wales walking a mini tightrope, the fate of the major sports and the location they can be played in is up for discussion. Today we discuss just what kind of options are open, especially for the AFL and cricket, when it comes to their major pay days in the coming months.

When the world's sports competitions were shut down due to Covid-19 earlier this year, those of us who relied on televised sport found ourselves with a vacuum. Thankfully, sports documentaries came to the fore to save us from our families. In this episode I run through a few of the best examples out there that you should all have a look at.

It's a difficult task to try and explain how funny a show can be. Believe me I've tried with this podcast. So listen as I try to explain why these three episodes of great TV comedy shows are the PERFECT episodes, and maybe just realise I know what I'm talking about. Or not...

While coaching dramas always seem to be heating up come this stage of the season, three NRL clubs in particular are at different stages of implosion development. Here's a short summary of the history and of the possibility forward.
