Fresh From the Esky

Regular co-host Wayne "Schimma" Clifford drops in to join Ledge and discuss the opening round of the 2023 NRL season and the fortunes of the involved in the 10 day away start of the AFL season. Ledge is initially thrown off balance by the fact that Schimma actually turns up with notes an idea thoroughly foreign to the disorganised host and producer of the podcast that is " Fresh From the Esky" . If you are not into the NRL ,AFL cricket and other general sports talk, don't worry us you can just relax and have a gluten free beer with the lads anyway and see how you rate it. As per usual have a listen, share with your friends, enjoy and rate a beer along with us and please feel free to provide any feedback, questions or suggestions you have.

At the age of six Damian Herdon decided he wanted to become a Bull rider, now if life was a movie he would have a few hurdles along the way to become a world champion, he would meet a girl who helps him on this path, he would get caught up in the glitz, glamour, drugs and casual sex offerings of being world champion lose the girl and the closing scenes would be him rushing to the airport to stop her leaving as he realise the foolish mistake he has made. But life is not a movie so join Ledge, co-host Tyler and Damian to find out what does happen as Damian chases his dream. Throw in a Ledge original joke and a tribute song to the most played band on the rodeo circuit and you have a full and exciting episode which like Damo's career has no regrets. So have a listen, feel free to share it with your friends and groups and join the ever expanding group of "Eskimo's" who follow Fresh From the Esky across nine countries and 10 different platforms including spotify, apple podcast, google podcast, amazon and more. And remember enjoy a beer while you listen and give it a rating on the untappd app as well so we can give it a try as well.

After the sensational start to season 2 where slick production, precise information and a well constructed format became the norm rather than the exception episode 3 puts FFTE into a downward death spiral. As Tyler joins Ledge, the recently lauded research assistant seems to take an unscheduled leave of absence, along with any sense of direction in the script (sounds all too familiar doesn't it) a rather poor line to a seemingly caught off guard Ben doesn't help either. Anyway the editing team work long hours to bring together something respectable to put to air. The mailbag, UFC 284 and the Superbowl along with the aforementioned contact with former co-host Ben dominate a rather disorganised episode. As we always say have a listen if you enjoy share with friends, if not share with those you dislike, give us a rating on Spotify to give the poddy a kick along, vent your feelings good or bad on our instagram account and most of all enjoy a beer and rate it on the untaped app or recommend it to the "Fresh From the Esky team to try.

Lucky Esikimo's after the day I had in the heat, worried I may sleep through alarm. So have uploaded early. ENJOY!!

Season 2 keeps rollicking along when Meg's returns to join Ledge with the guest she said she would like to hear on "Fresh From the Esky" during her own guest appearance on episode 34 "Meagan Sparkle" in season 1. Recorded on a balmy Sunday afternoon Ossie makes his usual cameo along with the neighbours dog Violet, birds, cicada's and loud background television. But the main guest is Joel Kilpatrick and Joel turns out to be an interesting listen as the unscripted (as per usual) running sheet takes in topics including public vs private schooling, twins, the old school strap, preparing your body for sport and we even venture into the green energy debate. Joel freely admits how some doors were opened to allow him into the his current work career but also lets the team in on the commitment required to keep progressing through the doors he has opened himself to get to the position he currently holds. On the sporting side of things we hear from a third generation Bull who's career probably never reached the height's it could have due to some untimely injuries and work related circumstances but still had its share of satisfying moments. Have a listen as Joel proves to be a thought provoking guest with more than a touch of humour. And if you enjoy it be sure to give us a 5 star rating, share it with your friends, follow us at freshfromtheesky on instagram and toast a beer or two with us on the untaped app.

Eskimo's rejoice!! "Fresh From the Esky" makes it's much anticipated season return. And what a return it is, with Ben abroad in the motherland fan favourites Wayne "Schimma" Clifford and Meagan "Megs" Rickertt step in to fill the void. This pairing bring with them a physiological depth to discussed subjects that leave's Ledge floundering a little out of his depth, but as any good showman he manages to covers his lack of knowledge with a fair smattering of bullshit. As subjects range through different sports and the disciplines required for them, Meg let's her guard slip momentarily to reveal her softer side(we already knew Schimma was soft)of tears and teenage crushes, but the star of the show is defiantly the research assistant who when called upon promptly supplies concise, accurate information for the very first time which only adds to the slick professional feel of the production.

Having during the seasonal break broken into the Indonesian market bringing listening countries to nine to go along with the nine different platforms FFTE can be heard on we continue to grow, so have a listen, give us a 5 star rating, share it with your friends, follow freshfromtheesky on instagram but most of all enjoy it. Oh and if possible try a Melbourne Bitter beer while you listen and rate it on the untaped app.

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?

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. Have a listen 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. So join an audience from 7 different countries and lets take Joe Rogan down!
