Description

Gideon Haigh and Pete Lalor have been writing about cricket, and talking about music, books, movies, television and life, for nearly fifteen years.  Now they do it with a podcast recorder handy, which sometimes they remember to turn on.  Stand by for a podcast full of insights and lacking in organisation.
