At a certain point in a man’s life, a distant yet strangely insistent voice calls out to him: it’s time to start a podcast.
I’ve heeded the call. And I’m very glad to say I’ve brought a couple of friends along for the write: the ABC’s Cody Atkinson and The Guardian’s Jonathan Horn. Cody and Jonathan rank very highly on the list of the best footy writers. No one can analyse the game like Cody (or his ABC co-writer, Sean Lawson). And no one can humanise it as elegantly as Jonathan.
We’ve started this for the same reason we write: to add a nuanced, independent voice to a media landscape that, too often, rewards hot takes and manufactured drama.
On the inaugural episode of the 110 Percenters podcast, Cody, Jonathan, and I discuss Scott Pendlebury breaking the V/AFL games record, the other members of the 400-game club, and how Steven King has turned Melbourne’s fortunes around in just 10 games.
Our aim is to record and publish once a week.
New episodes will be published here. You can also find us on:
It’s safe to say we have a lot to learn about this podcasting business. Which is why listener feedback will be so important. If you take the time to listen, please also take the time to share your thoughts about what we did well and what we could do better.
Leave a comment on this post, write to us on Twitter (I’m [at]onepercentas, Cody is [at]CapitalCityCody, and Jonathan is [at]JonathanHorn23), email us – there’s plenty of ways to get in touch.
Links to Cody and Jonathan’s writing is after the jump.
I guess there’s nothing left to say except… please like and subscribe!
