About this Podcast:
John, Em, Jimmy and Oscar cast a 3CR critical eye over the world of sport. We endeavor to address the same issues that other 3CR programs are passionate about – justice, peace, indigenous and cultural issues, the environment, LGBTIQA+ issues etc. – but we examine them through the prism of sport. But it's not all talk. We balance the verbal with a vast array of footy and sports songs.
