When asked "Do we need to sub via Patreon to listen?", Daniel McBreen replied "👍so I'm told yes!!".

So, is anyone else going to sub for US$6.50? That's about AUD$10 per month as today's exchange rate.

I'm a fan of the podcast but I need to see if I can afford it on top of all my other subs.

Looking at the sign up page, I was expecting some "Under Construction" banners from the mid-90s to pop-up.

Football Account plus (FA+) has just gone live online, and it includes (but not limited to) access to Football Australia's ticket allocation to see the Socceroos at the upcoming Men's World Cup.

The cost?

$99.

Have the police said why he was arrested yet? I read the story yesterday and no where did the police say what he's been accused of. I'm hoping they're just not saying yet out of an abundance of caution not to jeopardise these cases.

Sigourney Weaver's parents didn't choose her unusual first name. She chose it herself.

"When I was about 14, I was reading The Great Gatsby and I picked it out of the book," she told talk show host Bob McLean in 1981. "I guess I was bored with my name, which was Susan."

Just read on X that Robbie and Macca are doing the A-League Off Air podcast again this season. No confirmation on if it requires a paid Patreon subscription this time or if it's for free.

After much discussion we’ve decided if we’re gonna do a 25/26 season it’s gonna be a Patreon. Probably around $2 a week. This is as far as our discussions have gone.

Like this post if you’re keen. If you’re not, tough titties!!!

I use Podcast Republic to listen to all my podcasts. I can't see The Second Ball yet when I search using either that name or Round Ball Australia as the publisher. I have no idea how podcasts are distributed but hopefully it will appear eventually.

Screenshot from the Podcast Republic app. Shows the search results for publisher, "Round Ball Australia", being the two podcasts, "Round Ball Australia" and "The Dubcast". (Yes, I gave both 5 stars)!
