The Sounding Board

Anthony Albanese’s social media skit, Firmus Technologies’ IPO stumble, and the AFL’s latest illicit drugs story drive this episode’s biggest conversations. Hutchy and Damo also dip into media power plays, public scrutiny, and a few industry sidebars.

Hutchy and Damo rate a fresh batch of statements out of 10, covering Fox News in the US, Usman Khawaja's book timing, Dana White's work-from-home stance, and AFLW coverage. It looks like a brisk opinion-driven episode built around debate rather than deep dives.

Hutchy and Damo take listener questions on Melbourne Airport’s new drop-off zone, NRL Grand Final entertainment, on-air thanks for off-air teams, and rising stars in AFL media. It sounds like a broad, conversational episode built around media, sport and the small debates that get people talking.

A delayed release leaves Hutchy and Damo with a crowded agenda, from Cricket Victoria’s 'Work from the Shield' idea to AFL trade period optics and Media Watch’s clash with The West Australian. It sounds like a brisk mix of footy, media criticism and oddball side stories.

This episode puts Hutchy and Damo through another round of scored agree-or-disagree statements. Topics range from Ben Carroll's 'Wharfie Time' line to airport showers, kids with iPads at restaurants, and journalists' access to politicians.
