Podcast Ep 41 - The 1st Birthday Edition

The Tinman & Shabbs were joined by a Big Dogg fan before the podcast.

We were excited to reach the 1st birthday of the podcast and now expect many more to come. Who thought when we first started that we would not only last this long but be enjoying it more and more every week. We kicked off at the Coral Cove Bar where the podcast was first recorded & is our regular home.

There is never a dull moment in sport & even when we are struggling to watch much, we still find plenty to talk about. Once we got the formalities out of the road it was time to delve into the latest in sport.

The Ashes are finally under way, all the talk now means little & it is what happens on the field that counts. After day 1 we were ready to rip shreds from the Aussies but after day 2 we have cut a little slack. Are all the players deserving of their spots though?

Our mid song is a great little birthday song we stumbled across by some bloke called Hendrix. 

The Rugby League World Cup only has a few more games to go. The semis are reviewed and we are expecting the Kangaroos to kick on easily and hoping the Kiwis & Poms beat each other up and leave no petrol in the tank for the final.

The Wallabies are playing well but the officials are still copping the same flack they deserve. The IRB has a serious problem that it fails to address & it is not good for the game.

The A-League season is well under way & just after we recorded we settled in to watch the top of the table battle between the West Sydney Wanderers (pretty sure another name was used though) & the Brisbane Roar. With the Roar defeating the Wanderers rather convincingly it is going to be a good episode next week as we look back on the game. We also took time to look at the Socceroos & EPL in this segment as well. As you know we cannot keep the Tinman from talking about Liverpool FC if he gets the chance.

The Awards always wrap it up & there probably are no surprises this week. We sign off our birthday edition with a great goodbye song. Hope you enjoy this episode & we always look forward to feedback & input for future recordings. Don't forget that if you are ever in the Bundaberg area & would like to join in on the podcast, drop us a line & let us know.

Podcast Episode 40

We are getting closer to the first birthday of the Podcast & we go back down memory lane this week. The Shabs is back from Ningi & it won't be long until he looks like Grizzly Adams at this rate.

We get straight into the Rugby League 2013 World Cup and look at the second weeks worth of games. Which team will Australia go for in the Quarters against the impressive USA team which have been the highlight of the tournament so far. It also seems that the officials still maintain a poor standard this year.

It is a slightly longer episode this week as we look back on the memorable night when we had special guests Peter Bosustow, Mark "Jacko" Jackson & Warrick Capper. Even if you are not an AFL fan these segments are worth listening too. Apologies for the audio during the Jacko segment but we are pretty sure the weather played a part. (It was bucketing down as it was only a couple of days before the big floods).

The Rugby spring tour is on & Australia still can't take a trick. Whilst they did get very dubious decisions, they still should not have lost this game.

Cricket is well and truly under way this season & the first Test match is not far away. Expect plenty of cricket in future episodes.

The finals for Beach 365 were held last weekend & the Bundy Big Doggs played well but unfortunately fell short of the Grand Final. We would like to thank Big Dogg Australia for all their support.

The awards wrap it up and then we sign off with Warwick Capper.

 

Podcast Episode 39

Let's hope Shabbs took this advice.

The Tinman & Shabadoo are back in action and decided to head back to the location of where we started, Coral Cove Bar & Restaurant. This month we celebrate 1 year of recording the podcast and we kicked off the months celebrations in fine style during the happy hour.

There has been plenty of sport to cover & the first item was the Rugby League World Cup. With the Shabbs being stuck in Ningi for the last week he has been able to watch very little of the tournament but did catch the England vs Australia game.

The Wallabies are heading on their European spring tour and the signs are promising after the last game vs NZ but there is still a lot of work to be done. We look at a few changes that need to happen.

The Tinman was more than happy to talk about Liverpool FC and certainly couldn't wait to give the news about the Queensland Liverpool Supports Club.  You can be sure next week will have coverage of the game vs Arsenal.

Queensland have yet again won another title after the Bulls added the Ryobi One Day Cup to the trophy cabinet. With the Aussies unable to defend any size total will there be some changes to the side by the first test? Either way there is going to be a lot of cricket coverage over the next few months.

Also this summer we will be talking a lot of A-League & this week was no exception.

The Bundy Big Doggs are playing in the finals this weekend at Beach 365 & we will bring you details of how they go next week.

The awards always wrap it up & it seems that the Rugby League World Cup has brought a few nominations.

The midpoint & closing song are ones from the archives & are Australian rock classics.

After finishing recording the Tinman & Shabbs couldn't wait to show off their raffle wins. For the records the tickets were rubbed on the Tinman for good luck. Aways works.
