Cheers Tiger. We don't really get to select who we talk to from the club, we got told who we are being given for interview, and we are fine with that.

It's unlikely that they will proffer any support staff as these guys are generally pretty keen to stay out of the media.


Cheers mate, good to know.

When does season 1 finish? After the last game? Xmas special?

Thanks for the kind words re: podcast and the Kid Shark being born, much appreciated!

Last Ep for the time being may be after the last game played, but we may pop up before pre-season with highlights or last thoughts or focus on a key game or era/discussion so we'll how we go. Maybe some shorter eps. All depends, may not hear from us til January. We do appreciate all the love, we do. Best to subscribe via iTunes and of Soundcloud for free of course, and if/when we do a pod it'll be sent straight to you.

Let's focus on tonight: no fear, baby

Although things didn't end the way they were meant to I must congratulate the boys in showing the courage to do this podcast in what would have been a pretty ****ty situation to be in. It wouldn't be easy to sit there for 40 minutes talking about that disaster.

On a posture not what a breath of fresh air this podcast has been. Well done to both of you in creating something that has been so well received in amongst the sharks community. Watching the podcast grow to what it did was great. I think there is a great balance between Newman and Sam. One is more of a straight shooter and the other is more of a fluffster. Keeps things well balanced in my opinion.

I for one was never expecting it to be as big of a hit as it was but to be able to achieve what you guys did and to be able to get the interviews that were conducted was fantastic. The interviews that were featured during the year were great and in my opinion better then any interview that you see or hear through other main stream media outlets. As a listener I got the feeling the people being interviewed were far more relaxed and open then they may have been when interviewed by the bigger media outlets. Definitely my favourite part of the show

For me I just enjoyed tuning in every week win, lose or draw. We all ride this rollercoaster together and i thoroughly enjoyed listening each and every week through the good times and the bad and I think the best part as listener's is the fact that we feel we relate to you guys.

Hats of to you guys and I can't wait to listen to the podcast in the future

Wow. I don't know what to say after that. That's so nice.

Just. Thank you.

I liked having another fans perspective and thoughts as well on the final show.

I think maybe once a month you could get a special guest being another die heard on for a segment or for a show or even a fill in etc.

That could be cool. A lot of different things you can do. Possibilities are endless.

I honestly thought week 1 it was going to be some fluffy bull**** podcast of 2 idiot fans stumbling over their words and saying "the boys tried weally hard" each week but man it was seriously so entertaining and in depth and a highlight of the week. I listened to every show every week and whether I agreed or disagreed loved every minute. Can't wait for next season boys.

Job well done

Just lisnented to it on the way home, first bit of recapping from last week have not watched a single footy related show since, still bit dirty I suppose.

All in all was a good year, had some tremendous wins. Had a ball coming on here to celebrate and vent when **** went down.

Just wanted to know if the sharkcast will air some shows over the summer? Obviously not every week but once every now and then would be nice, maybe a few more interviews with some players about the pre season etc.

Being an out of towner it would be wicked to hear some inside info about 2016.

To the boys loved the cast, will look forward to up coming episodes.

I know a thing or two about the radio business and for me the boys have become compulsory listening. They have become part of my Saturday morning routine and I'll have to return to the real world of radio each Saturday and that just won't be the same.

The best part of the podcast is the fact the boys tell it straight and a real fan won't bother listening week after week if views aren't authentic.

The boys handled the Gallen drama with utmost professionalism.

Well done Sam and Newman from someone in the business.

Hi,

Sam from the pod here. On behalf of Newman and myself, I can't thank you enough for the kind words, the praise, the honest appraisals and the ideas.

We will do one more review Ep this week or next (sorry to be so unsure) and then take a break. If we do anything before pre-season it'll be something specific, like talking about an era or a game or player in depth but that's a very unsure maybe. I'd say pre-season we'll do an intro then maybe from the trials on, and we will be pushing for player interviews etc whoever it was mentioned interviews with fans etc, we will do more of that. We have a list of folks in the public eye somewhat we want to approach and haven't, or have and had no luck.

The club has been great to us, and we will be pushing our pod even further in 2016. Please subscribe for free on iTunes, and any new Ep is sent straight to you! We are all over Soundcloud too still as well. Thanks again
