He also mentioned it on the final Open Mike where he was the guest being interviewed by Whately and Robbo, said it was all set and Carey basically got cold feet and didn't turn up.he spoke to a crowd that i was in regarding wayne carey who didnt rock up and do his episode. didnt like that
Would love for the show to come back in someway or form, I understand he was struggling for guests at the end but there are so many ex-players/coaches from the last 10 years which would be interesting viewing.
Maybe a younger journo would suit and relate better to the more recently retired players. I know podcasts are around with in a similar mould to Open Mike, Howie Games and This is your sporting life on SEN (not sure if they are still producing this)
Regardless Open Mike for the most part was great viewing and for someone likely myself who grew up toward the latter years of Mike's media reign I learned a lot about my club from interviews with past greats (KB, Roach, Tony Jewell, Jim Jess even BT)
