Saw I had a lot of notifications and thought I may have done something wrong! Anyway, Part 2 here we go.
nods - I saw 28 notifications and couldn't for the life of me think of anything I had posted recently that would have garnered such a response ... yep
 
Hey all, looking to update the avatar. Does anyone have the photo of Dunkley and Gunston holding the Melbourne Cup (not a big racing man so don't know if it was that)? Can't seem to find it anywhere

Saw today that Roar Deal got canned. Quite liked it although Dom Fay could get a bit gushy at times. Can’t imagine the player led ones are going to be very good. They said they might continue on their own but would be great to have some more options. I liked the Lions Supporters podcast from a couple of years ago

I really enjoyed the roar deal. I wonder if the club canned it so Dunkley could run our media empire?
 
I am looking forward to a more editorially independent Roar Deal podcast, which I believe is likely to happen.
I agree Dom gets a bit gushy, but it's also great to hear from a very optimistic supporter. Best episodes were the two emergency podcasts are the finals wins this year. The whole Zac Bailey love fest got tiring though.

Now that the footy season is coming to an end and Podcasts shutting up shop.
Anyone know of any decent podcasts I can suggest to listen to over the next few months?

What type of stuff do you want to listen to? I listen to a variety of podcasts...

For a footy podcast try "Saturday Afternoon Fever" (reading of the book about his struggles of being a St Kilda supporter, very funny IMO) and Titus O'Reilly and Mick Molloy's "Sports bizarre" (also very funny and relatively new).

Two others I would recommend are "Dark Net Diaries" (cybersecurity/web stories) and "Founders" (discussion around the biographies of high achieving people and take home message(s) around leadership) - there are plenty of episodes of each one.

Sports Bizarre is pretty good. Titus has a knack of finding the weird stories and rolling them out with plenty of humour. Mick somewhat plays the live audience, giving his reactions to the story. Titus is actually a pretty good story teller, able to string ideas together into a theme while keeping it light and fun.
 
Mostly just sports, but I do like real crime investigations and stuff, science/astronomy/space.
"Shandee's Legacy" is following the current Qld Commission into the Qld DNA lab issues.

If you like Cricket or grew up playing cricket, Id recommend The Grade Cricketer.

The Dollop is another good one. Its a history like podcast with 2 comedians, were 1 reads about an event from history and the other 1 normally hasn't heard of it before and they kind of riff of it. Because they've got a good following of Aussies they've done a bunch of Aussie history episodes

Power knew about JHF leg issues before trade
However they may not have thought he would need surgery on both legs

“Following consultation with numerous specialists, and consideration of the advised options as to how to treat the issue, we decided it was best for Jason’s health, and ongoing football performance, that he have the surgery now to release the pressure on the arteries and restore normal blood flow to his lower legs,” O’Leary said.


 
If Dom and Fish read this - i don't have a twitter - but its a big YES from me for you lads to continue on with your own podcast next year - I'll definitely be a regular listener. A player led one will be good but very constrained, but if Dom and Fish do do there own, I hope being free from the club that they can be more objective at times even though I dont mind them ebeing overly positive.

Based on the experience of the previous player led podcast (from around 2015?) that got canned after a year I do not have high hopes lol.

The dollop is a great podcast. Great live shows when they're out here too
 
Not me, but the AFLW podcast has been somewhat insightful this season, so perhaps some lessons have been learnt.
Possibly although I do wonder whether is more down to the women naturally tend to be more open and themselves in media engagement in general.
 
Gold Coast being strongly linked to Sydney Stack.
