Love the Bill Simmons podcast, especially when Boston teams lose (though it's not a great year for that!). Will check out the BBC podcast.




The Debrief with Dave O'Neil sounds like a great concept, will check it out today.

Debrief is excellent. And Dave admitted he's a Bulldogs fan a few weeks ago

Re: Podcast recommendations

Not sure if anyone listened to Bob's weekly Podcast throughout the season. some were very good. Now he has started some with former players. Last week it was Simon Minton -C, this week he has responded to TD's suggestion.

Re: Podcast recommendations

Probably one for MJP but the Richards Report is something that I've enjoyed listening to. This report is by ex Essendon and Sydney Swans player Ted Richards

His latest effort is about a Moneyball analysis with the Swans Senior Recruiting Analyst Chris Keane.

Just had a look. Appears he covers some interesting and diverse topics - thanks.

I listen to quite a lot of the Ringer network and other NBA podcasts. There's so much content out there that it's hard to digest it, particularly given I like to read and/or listen to music as part of my daily transit to and from work too.

This weeks Richards report is another good one. This is about real moneyball not the fabricated one most people are aware of.
Basically this sports company invests in minor league baseball players who if they make the major league pay a return to the company that invested in them early on. They go into the algorithms and statistical modelling that help them identifies the players to invest in

Yes, I gave it a listen. Fascinating.

Yes, I gave it a listen. Fascinating.

The character played by Jonah Hill Peter Brand was based on Paul DePodesta who part owns that company.
DePodesta wouldn't let the movie version use his name (unlike Bill Beane) so Peter Brand was invented

It's very interesting to see how some companies like the one detailed on the Richards report see opportunities in players and are willing to invest in them early to make a bigger return later on.

Ted Richards does a good job with his interviews

Re: Podcast recommendations

Although I am a chronic history nerd I have never really gotten hooked on post colonial Australian history. Until this came along:

https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/rumrebelsratbags/episodes/

It tells the story of the first few decades after the first fleet arrived and it's a rollicking tale. Well and truly worth a listen. Even if you aren't interested in history it's still bloody funny. Now, now it's funny. At the time it would have been horrifying.

Re: Podcast recommendations

I can't recommend the Richards Report highly enough. I have an interest in investing and of course sports and he seems to find the right balance. His interviewing style and research is very different to many others. It's not for everyone but it might be worth having a listen to. His recent interview with Ed Cowan was a good balance between sport and investing

Does Cowan have a connection to the investment industry Gary?
