Recorded on August 6, 2016, at 6:24PM in the West Indies, this chat with Mike Haysman was meant to be one of the first-ever episodes… until Howie forgot to label the files.

They were lost. And now they are found. And some stories are too good to stay buried. Before he became one of cricket’s most respected broadcasters, Haysy was a cricketer tipped to be the next big thing in Australian cricket, a man who received handwritten notes from Sir Donald Bradman, took part in the infamous rebel tour of South Africa, and once called a match with $20 million riding on it.

This episode takes you back to Howie’s first international commentary gig, where Mike Haysman took him under his wing before they sat down for this very conversation.

So, off we go to Saint Kitts in the West Indies—where the rum was ready, the stories are golden, and the lost files finally see the light of day.
