[BT Tiger]

Not sure if it's already been mentioned but Hardcore History with Dan Carlin is pretty good, although most of his stuff is paywalled. I've been listening through the Supernova In The East series which focuses on Japan's history and involvement in the World Wars. I find war history morbidly fascinating and it gives perspective for how good we've got it in the present day, especially Australia

(although it could be a lot better too!!).

JB's rec of Wind of Change is a good one.

The Rewatchables is probably my fave. Great dives into classic (and some not-so classic) films.

A bit odd but I re-listened to The Rewatchables’ pod on Cast Away. It was released in the early days of Covid and Simmons’ decision to do it solo was perfect.

I like but don’t love the film but, heck, I learned a lot more about it and got a deeper appreciation of it from this ep.

The Glitch.

Hmm. Kinda interesting. Kinda cringy as it felt a bit too sanctimonious and almost an ad for a screenplay…

 

[tigerlandishome]

I get a bit of a laugh out of this one;
SmartLess with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, & Will Arnett is a podcast that connects and unites people from all walks of life to learn about shared experiences through thoughtful dialogue and organic hilarity. A nice surprise: in each episode of SmartLess, one of the hosts reveals his mystery guest to the other two. What ensues is a genuinely improvised and authentic conversation filled with laughter and newfound knowledge to feed the SmartLess mind.

I also like Behind the Bastards;
There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.

Both available on Google Podcasts

Just a follow up to @scottyturnerscurse recommendation for the awesome Rewatchables.

Similar movie typed theme podcast called Big Dumb Movie.

Recommend the following episodes so far

Robocop
The Star Wars Holiday Special (yes, it's a thing and it's hilarious. Carrie Fisher sings!)
Scream
The Running Man

I listened to rewatchables for the first time and it was the Daft Day edition (the Kevin Costner movie). I quite liked the cast initially but 100 minutes on reviewing a film is a bit too much, they seemed to just be padding it out in the end.

Some sports podcasts I like..

Ausmerican Aces has a lot of great interviews including Tigers.
A few recent ones below.

Broady

Dion

Timmy T

lots of other great interviews.


I really like The Howie Games too. Mark Howard interviews all sorts of sports people & Entertainers.

Listened to one about Hutcy last night. Good insight into how he's built his empire.

Lots of Tiges interviewed here too.

The Howie Games

Listen to The Howie Games on Spotify. Where the biggest names in the world of sport go one-on-one with sports journalist Mark Howard. From ultimate highs to tear-jerking lows, Howie lifts the lid on the real stories behind the headlines. He sits down with the biggest names in Australian & world...

open.spotify.com

Dyl & Friends is also really good. Lots of interviews with Tigers & Richmond mindfulness guru Emma Murray.

Dave Astbury

Dimma is going to be on the Dyl & Friends podcast tomorrow.

has anyone listened to "Richmond Tiger Talk?" I have started listening to it this year. Its much better than the club made "Talking Tigers."

RTT have referenced PRE a few times. Maybe Nick and Andy are regulars on here? If so, did you wanna reveal yourselves!?!?

Every episode since release. They were first into the podcast space.

If you like hit out to advantage and expected score stats you will be in heaven. Plus they used to have an obsession with McBean so maybe that will narrow it down.

I’m not Nick or Andy.

Mentioned in other threads but if you are into the round ball game and particularly the EPL, The Guardian Football weekly is a great wrap up with funny podcasters - they'll also cover Euro football and world cup qualifiers etc. Max Rushden now lives in Melbourne so there's an Australian flavour too, especially Ange P now managing Spurs.

As a Guardian pod it's slightly woke but they don't take themselves or anything else too seriously.

Football Weekly

Join Max Rushden, Barry Glendenning and special guests as they pick over the latest action from the Premier League and beyond. Football Weekly has reported on matches from all of the following: Premier League, Euros, World Cup, Championship, League One, League Two, Scottish Premier League...

Definitely the original & the best Tiger podcast. Big Footy Tigercast's is ok too. Yes I did say that.
Whilst ok, the club podcast is pretty saccharine by comparison. Prefer the fan versions.

Thanks for that. With my interest in the A-League dying, and my interest in the Premier League rekindled with Ange signing for Spurs, I've been searching for Premier League Podcasts to replace the A-League pods i used to listen to. I'll give this a go.

Will have to sign up again for Optus Sport as well. $25 per month is a big sting.

I listened to the Big Footy Tigercast once and thought it was average. the club podcast is also average, but i will listen in if i have nothing else to listen to while at the gym. What I find annoying about the Richmond Pods is that they don't usually come out til Tuesday. I know people have lives, time constraints and stuff... and i respect people for having a crack it it. But by Tuesday/Wednesday, people have moved on to the next game. They should be doing these on Sunday nights IMO.

 

[Scoop]

Really enjoying "The Rabbit Hole" with tim Watson and Garry Lyon. They talk everything. It's not the radio show, some good discussions from the 80'&90's football and how to age gracefully or not. I find myself laughing most weeks. The story of Timmy in the 80's at the Ascot Vale Pool seeing jockey's in the sauna rubbing salt on each other like a piece of pork was highly amusing last week.

And Ross Recommends with Ross Stevenson is a cracker. I would love to follow Stevenson for a month and see what his actual life is like. Reckon he is the man in the know who would be lunching with the widest variety of people in Melbourne. He lives in Glenferrie, I've seen him getting a coffee down there.

It depends who they have on. Some make some good points. Others not so much.

I watch it most times too. Good to see they can get former players on. Watched the latest with Bowda and was enjoyable. Tigs71 is a funny guy with his whispers.

Unfortunately seems he is severely suffering from concussion.

He was spot on on Dusty staying, Lynch coming and Taranto coming way out.

So my summary

Talking Tigers - The pick you up pod win, lose or draw with a neverending stream of dad jokes and take downs of the 'chief'. If you want a laugh - come here.
Richmond Tiger Talk - The footy nerds pod - deep statistical analysis and (the wish I was a ruckman for richmond) obsession with ruckwork HTA stats. If you want a very measured rant about the statistical likelihood of us losing a game where the expected score had us winning by 5 goals and the odds of collingwood winning lots of close ones - come here.
BigFooty - More your fan in the outer type pod. Host does on excellent job coralling the rest of the 'team' and has got some brilliant guests from the past. If you want a rant about the umpiring / the ARC - more of a game day posting - come here

First two are good, but I prefer the more realistic BF one just like us on here.

T71 is one of the poorer talent on that podcast. He can't even get Shai's name right after several years.
Quite a few of the others are good though.

PS: Sorry to hear about his recent concussion issues though.

Yeah, he's been the Nostradamus on here too. I think they had Daffy on last night's podcast. I might watch it later.
