After going through the mailbag Ledge & Ben go completely off track with poorly researched topics of conspiracy, outer space, JFK and Marilyn Monroe. Ledge in particular shows a lack of spatial awareness (particularly when outer space is concerned) that more than match's Ben's well documented geography skills. All of which leads to the conclusion that Ledge & Ben better make it as podcaster's because as the "Leyland Bros" they would be a failure with Ben not knowing where any places are and Ledge knowing but having no idea how far it is to get there. The highlight of the show is the end, so please follow it right through till then.

It is all big news from "Fresh From the Esky" this week. Huge outlays in the way of a new microphone to add to the extensive studio equipment on hand (now 2 microphones and 1 laptop) and T shirt merchandise has arrived (well 2 shirts anyway, hey it is a trial run). But the biggest thing to happen to the show is our guest big Tommy Brodel. A beer connoisseur and brewer who after a 12 year hiatus has just rediscovered his love for the game of golf, Tom Brodel proves to be an engaging guest if indeed that is who we are speaking to. Living an interesting life with interesting hobbies, Tommy provides some great expertise to the podcast which isn't something we usually display. As per usual have a listen and if you enjoy please be sure to subscribe, share and follow us on Instagram.

After an extended break due to lack of guest buy in, other projects, COVID and general disorganisation Ledge and Ben are back. Ben get his chance for a right of reply on the infamous Melbourne lock out as Ledge fumbles for what could be the final link in the chain leading to the G.O.A.T. The AFL is discusses along with lightly touching the NRL or should that be horse racing of the only two variety. Things then get a little darker than they have been ever before as "Fresh From the Esky" shows its diversity.

PS: Merchandise in the pipeline

COVID hits "Fresh From the Esky" when Ledge's youngest boy Joel tests positive, he along with Annette and Ledge go into isolation mode. Ben has missed this event by 36 hours which has allowed him to travel to Melbourne(if he finds it) to catch up with mate's and some weekend football. When the only other 2 household members express their wishes not to participate in an episode Ledge is forced to go it alone. Ben may help out if he will answer the phone and a bit of royalty never goes astray. Ledge also uses the time to promote the new platforms "Fresh From the Esky" is available on, also the new artwork as well as the all around the world audience they are attracting. Have a listen and if you enjoy please rate, subscribe, share.

The "Fresh From the Esky" production team is thrown into disarray with a last minute guest cancellation, not wishing to disappoint their ever-growing listener base the crew leap into action with back up plans. After all markers and favours are called in and promises of better audio than provided for Wayne Redsell "Son of a Gun" Jacob Redsell agrees to fill in for the absent Ricky McHugh(now listed for episode 726 & all future reference's to be "Donkey"). Jacob proves to be an excellent guest with his insight into everything from recovery after broken bones to broken relationships. He joins in with constructive thoughts, as we discuss the last round of footy and other contact sports including The Oscars. The "List Cloggers" get a shout in an attempt to help their listener base(or should that be ours) and the question of fan merchandise is once again raised. So please grab a beer, relax and enjoy this weeks ruminations and general good conversation, and remember if you do enjoy please subscribe and share. 

"FRESH FROM the ESKY"

                               It's Raw,

                                    It's Real,

                                         It's Relevant.

After been on the road "Fresh From the Esky" returns to it's roots Ledge's outdoor backyard bar. Are listener numbers really plummeting? Or were initial expectations and goals too lofty? While Ledge contemplates a "Jump the Shark" episode, Ben seems a little a lost as only someone of his geography skills could be. The hunt for "All time G.O.A.T" Heather Mackay continues, or is it bordering on stalking? In an attempt to broaden the listening audience we venture into deep water but do it with amazing grace. Grab a beer, relax, listen and enjoy and if you do be sure to subscribe and share. 

P.S  Still currently no merchandise available, but that may change

What are you the listener letting yourself in for, listen and hopefully listen some more.

Ledge and Ben take "Fresh From the Esky" on the road for the first time. In the palatial surrounds of Capricornia and Wandal/Glenmore Bulls administration icon Graham Orr. Graham along with wife Heather played a huge part in Australian rules football in central Queensland, now as Graham affectionally known as Orry enters his 9th decade on earth we look back at his earlier years. Train rides in his youth where a young Heather happened to be aboard as well. Who was "accidently" feeling up who as the daily commute would lurch and roll? And then who were the loved up young couple slick car salesman Orry sold a possibly relationship ending vehicle to? Find the answers to these questions and more as we barely scratch the surface of an interesting full life over a beer.

 P.S For your listening pleasure Ben once again controlled audio on this episode. 

This episode has Ledge & Ben on their own again discussing the critiques and feedback by the few active listeners...not the 4 billion we were hoping for yet. They talk about the responses to the first two episodes and then touch on an array of subjects such as music, physics, Ledge's inability to work the audio and Ben's worrying geography skills. As always the boys review another beer as it all goes down, even profanities are discussed on this usually family friendly show. Hopefully with a new audio producer in charge this episode is little bit easier on the ears.

Living up to the expectations set by the introduction, this episode features some very ordinary audio quality, hopefully this doesn't take away from the interview and stories that Ledge and Ben discuss with Glenmore Bulls Legend and all round good guy Wayne Redsell. They delve into Wayne's early life, move to Rockhampton and love/participation of what seems like every sport. Find out what Australian Prime Minister changed the destiny of Wayne's young life, and sit back and listen to the boys talk about some beer, RedLedge and just how many children Wayne has...if he remembers correctly. 

DISCLAMIER: Audio quality may sound poor, it is recommended to listen through headphones, we promise to improve on this for the future episodes, just remember it's only two ordinary guys running this whole production.
