The NineSixFourTwo Podcast

The podcast will be us two sports fans giving an uniquely kiwi perspective to
various sporting events, and their reactions to some of the key sporting moments.
On top of regularly discussing the results of recent sporting events and the issues
of the week, we will debate the deeper issues involved in sports from the viewpoint of an ordinary sports fan.

The podcast will be somewhat quirky, humourous and off-the-wall. Mostly
unscripted it is just two regular fans discussing the sporting highlights, just the
same as millions of fans do every week,
