The Final Word with Paul Marsh, ACA chief executive
Season 19, Episode 11: The decisions made about international cricket over the next couple of years are likely to have a major influence on how the game is played for decades to come. With much on the line and much up in the air, Paul Marsh decided it was time to come back to the sport that was his first love, returning to again lead the Australian Cricketers Association. Needless to say, there was a lot to get through when Adam and Geoff sat down with a man who is right at the heart of these major debates.

Story Time 248 – Nepotism is fine when it's your brother
It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, we're looking at shit brothers: one who genuinely was terrible, and one who might have been hard done by in the long term. Also this week, a note of appreciation for a player who is currently under the cosh, because two things can be true at the same time.

The Grade Cricketer x The Final Word
Season 19, Episode 10: For years, people have asked about the BEEF between us and The Grade Cricketer. The reality is, for a decade now, we've all been in this together. So, sure enough, here's the collab ep hosted by Sam Perry and Ian Higgins in their Melbourne studio as we both forget to talk about our new books. Instead: back stories, politics, Saudi money, the future and everything else you might expect with the four of us in the same place.

Mark Wood driving to Brisbane is the only driving England is allowed
Season 19, Episode 19: No, that's not true, they're back driving on the golf course. But we're not going to talk too much about Ashes wash-up... ok, only a little. The wider world is still waiting, where South Africa are dominating India in the second Test of their series, where there are comebacks for Final Word faves Kemar Roach and Dane van Niekerk, and where another tasty Shield round has taken place. Also, more on the possible 12-team World Test Championship, and you'll never believe who's playing each other in the T20 World Cup.
