Where Do We Begin?
151 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 1 year ago -Unlike most Australians, Harper and Lachie aren't very athletically gifted. Fortunately, though, they're quite good at admiring those who are. And talking. They're quite good at that too.
That's why they talk to Australia's most fascinating sportspeople.
Sometimes they get deep. Sometimes they don't. But, as their listeners can (probably) confirm, they're always a blast to listen to.
Episodes every Monday until they interview the 25 millionth and final talented Australian athlete.

March 07, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 84.4 MBWhere Do We Begin when describing Essendon's elite, excellent Andrew McGrath? “Pidge” is one of the best players at one of the biggest AFL clubs, having been named in the best 22 players under 22 in all four seasons of his career. The man has future captain (and legend!) stamped all over him.

Plus, of...
Episode 31: Merv Hughes
February 28, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 107 MBWhere Do We Begin when describing moustachioed master Mervyn Gregory Hughes? Quite simply, he's done it all.

Episode 15: Matt Shaw
August 23, 2020 20:00 - 1 hour - 115 MBWe're making a huge call: this episode is our best yet.
