Ledge & Ben draw the curtain on season 1 of "Fresh from the Esky" with an emotion charged(well as much emotion as two Australian males will show other than when their sporting team wins or loses) final episode as only hours after recording Ben catches a plane to begin his UK adventure. With his wallet filled with some cash due to Argentina winning an exciting World cup final you'd think Ben would be feeling pretty "chipper" (as the English would say)but World Cup wins pale in comparison to the devastating loss at the annual "Tins of Glory" drinking games event of which Ben is a founder and continues to be a major driver of. So have a listen and as we always say if you enjoy please subscribe (it costs nothing and helps Spotify notice us and spread the word), share with your friends (and non friends as well), follow us on instagram @ "freshfromtheesky" and under the same title join us on the untaped app for a beer.

Join Ledge & Ben on the penultimate episode of season 1 as they have a beer and a chat with Malcom Kenny. Mal who as a youngster (he now considers himself a veteran) tried every sport he was allowed (and that was many and many again which he excelled at) before settling on a path of least resistance, a path that has lead to representation at the highest of levels including for his country. Along the the way he has made a change in his career and ran a thriving business with his mate and some Chinese contacts. Not bad for a self diagnosed OCD sufferer, though then again, probably a bit of a let down for a man who as a child harboured idea's he was the second messiah or was it just a foot fetish? Have a listen and remember if you enjoy it share with your friends, subscribe(there is no monies required) as it gives us more support in spreading the word from Spotify, follow us on instagram and also check how the beer's are going down on the untaped app at "Freshfromtheesky" and share some of your tasted beer's as well.

Just as season one is wrapping up Ledge & Ben are really hitting their stride. In their most organised, free flowing, concisely researched episode yet. This is the episode which will move "Fresh From the Esky" from much hyped to critically acclaimed. The acquisition of the much talked about "research assistant" gives credibility to the show that the team and listeners have longed for and the smooth running format just adds to a thoroughly professional feel for the whole podcast. "Yeah Nah" if you are looking for any of the aforementioned qualities in your podcast listening please don't waste your time, but if you would like to listen to a couple of blokes "shooting the breeze" over a wide range of subject matter have a listen. So as we always ask, if you enjoy be sure to share with your friends, subscribe(there is no monies required), follow us on instagram and also check how the beer's are going down on the untaped app at "Freshfromtheesky" and share some of your tasted beer's as well.

On the eve of his graduation from university(first in his immediate family to do so) Ben proves that university qualifications don't necessarily make you a good booking agent when the guest he promised 10 days ago still does not materialise. But a least Ben himself is available and much of the show is about Ben's favourite subject "BEN". Ledge does join in with a couple of slow burn, physiological thrillers from the "Rabbit hole" and some more general ill informed comment on various subjects. In a season 1 that has already produced 1,802 minutes of listening quality this episode keeps the bar at that lofty level and includes a plug for the much sought after FFTE merchandise. So as per usual have a listen and if you enjoy be sure to share with your friends, subscribe(there is no monies required), follow us on instagram and also check how the beer's are going down on the untaped app at "Freshfromtheesky" and share some of your tasted beer's as well.

The normal disorganisation that is "Fresh from the Esky" hurtles towards catastrophic mayhem at warp speed when Ben is struck down with a life threatening stomach ache( commonly referred to as as "pain in the gut"}. Tyler Hodgens is called but still on the road completing a return trip from Brisbane where he visited to see a performing dog show. Ledge in a last gasp desperation calls Tyler again as he nears Rockhampton and Tyler agrees to come on as co-host, though in a true sign of Glenmore Bulls dedication he must attend pre-season training first. On his arrival Tyler show's some concern when informed the running sheet is missing(did it ever really exist?). So what should be a watershed episode due to the arrival of merchandise Ledge had ordered coming off a night shift turns into an episode more shambolic than ever though Tyler stars throughout it to only enhance his resume for the season 2 {will there be one!) co-host vacancy.

Meagan Rickett makes her much anticipated appearance with Ledge and Ben this week. Throughout the the conversation you will find a young lady(though to often the older veteran, for her own liking) who tackles life at full tilt with an infectious attitude. Whether it be pumping iron at the gym, prowling the football field (any of three codes) as a competitive beast, refereeing top line basketballers in front of packed (and sometimes questioning) house at Hegvold, sweetly singing the national anthem or simply raising hell with the girls you know Meagan will be up front giving 110%. You could be forgiven for thinking that work is a secondary consideration required only to fuel this high octane lifestyle but you can be sure she knows nothing less than full commitment to the task at hand and work is no different, so yes your complaint is important to her. Have a listen to what will be one of lads last guest's for this first season of "Fresh From the Esky" and if you enjoy please be sure to subscribe ( it cost's nothing, but it helps in our efforts to get support from platforms to get behind the podcast), share it with all your friends and join Ledge and Ben for a beer on the Untaped app. You can listen on Spotify, Apple, Google, Listennotes, Amazon, Podbay, Pocketcasts, Owltail and Audible.

With Ledge & Ben back in the same state and Ben actually been at home everything seems to have aligned. But the script is thrown out the window(not that there ever was a script) with the arrival minutes before recording begins of a surprise co-host who would appear to be doing a audition for the position that Ben is so often absent from. With a week of world cups in cricket, rugby league, women's rugby union and the wallabies playing in the mother country you would think there would be plenty of sport to discuss. But none of the aforementioned topics get a run as the lads meander from Ben's foray into the German culture, Ledges rant about his Saints and then Ben introduces his " unpopular opinions segment which just turns into his "The rabbit hole" segment. Anyway have a listen and as per usual if you enjoy, rate(5 stars only please), subscribe, share and follow us on instagram @ freshfromtheesky. Also join us on the untaped app with your thoughts on the beers we have tasted and the one's you think we should abide in.

Another episode that was lucky not to be left on the editing room floor. With "Fresh From the Esky" already known for the cutting edge technology they use in all phases of production. confusion reigns supreme when more is added. The more added been 2 microphone stands and Ledges attempt to utilise the second mic through a digital mixer( would be easier if he knew what a digital mixer was) when finally set and adjusted Ledge & Ben remember they have had no discussion on programme content and act like this is unusual. So join the team as they waffle through another episode with what may be a richer sound we will let you the listener be the judge.

With Ben once again absent it is left to Ledge to cobble together an episode. And a lot of cobbling takes place. So while Ben enjoys the carnival atmosphere that is the Melbourne Cup, Ledge , the sound editing, cutting and splicing teams go hard to work to bring you an episode that you will hopefully enjoy. Ben does dial in a couple of times with his now known poor tips(or are they?) for the cup, but the limelight well and truly belongs to Ledge's randomly called 90 year old lady who just happens to provide the link that the team may require to reach the G.O.A.T that is Heather McKay. Ledge also offers a bit of insight into the various world cups currently going on which just like Ben's tips are now old news. So have a listen and as per usual if you enjoy, rate(5 stars only please), subscribe, share and follow us on instagram @ freshfromtheesky. Also join us on the untaped app with your thoughts on the beers we have tasted and the one's you think we should abide in.

Fresh From the Esky is back on the road and this time a once again solo Ledge catches up with an old friend in Trevor Hourigan, who only agrees to guest on the show if his wife Julie will do the same, Julie only agrees to guest because the penalty for murdering your husband is life. But from this rather unenthusiastic start the editing team at FFTE end up with there first double episode! So join us as the story unfolds of two rather young divorcees who find each other and build a life together based on having the same values and the same attitude towards participating in life rather than spectating. A trait that means you don't just turn up, you get involved whether it be football, showing dogs or the kids pony club. In the first part we discuss Trevor's rural background with a mix of show business thrown in versus Julies city slicker upbringing and indoctrination into the cult that is the Richmond football club. The second part is where we find two very proud parents and on a more sobering note both Julie and Trevor share some thoughts into how they both dealt with Julie's breast cancer diagnoses and subsequent treatments. So please have a listen to what is a very interesting insight into two very strong people who anyone who be glad to have as friends.

As per usual listen, enjoy, rate(5 stars only please), subscribe, share and follow us on instagram @ freshfromtheesky. Also join us on the untaped app with your thoughts on the beers we have tasted and the one's you think we should abide in.
