Like that autobiographical book of Roald Dahl’s you avoided for the more fun ones as a kid

Like the ear worm from Jason Derulo in 2010

Like Jack Saunders when he gets a head of steam up

Like a man in some khaki going through some hilly scrub on a kayak

This week i'm going solo for an unusually mini SHIVA BLAST!

After all the build up, Round 1 has come and gone and hooooooooly shit I hope it went better for you. We extend the podcast olive branch to The Draft Doctors this week and make a new podcast friend, Crutt’s in a good mood and Benny’s finally done some work as we dissect the first results of the 2019 season in this week’s SHIVA BLAST

With round 1 ahead of us there’s so much pent up energy that my microphone is crackling with excitement. Benny demonstrates his skill or lack thereof leading just one segment with special guest Coach Marc, Crutt shines off a long run up and Benny Mess brings up some bad memories on your post draft pre R1 edition of the SHIVA BLAST!

With the draft only days away it’s time for some hard-hitting Shiva action. To get our heads straight before we step in the ring, Commish Douth previews the season ahead, Podcast Friend Coach Warnie calls in to help you study, Ant Wingard drops another interview and Crutt gives some lip service. Oh yeah, and after a rocky couple of years, Bananaman himself, Ben Mess takes over picking the draft order. It’s all ahead on a bumper, SHIVA BLAST!

Episode 1 we took you through the A-Z of Shiva, but now that we’re all reacquainted it’s down to business! Or at least that was the intention as Benny’s technology fails him... We try to class things up with proper interviews as a wild Ant Wingard appears (with Jack Bowes in tow), Crutt and Ben Mess are on board and is it the start of a beautiful friendship with Coaches Panel? Only time will tell in another episode of the Shiva Blast!

New to Shiva? Finding it hard to understand what's going on?Need a refresher ahead of the 2019 season?With the return of a new season, we've got you covered with a look at everything that's made this competition great in its first 6 years.Notes:- No more convoluted ideas for the season opener- Don't put Benny in a position where he needs to explain things

Ho ho ho Shivarites!BennyMacca and Damon are back for a Krampus edition of the Shiva Blast to finally wrap up 2018 and to look forward to an uncertain future! Benny has a surprise for everyone and Crutt somewhat makes an appearance too to celebrate the festive season.Merry Krampus!

For the grand finalists of Shiva this year, trials had to be overcome to reach the chance to grab glory. In much the same way, we have overcome adversity to bring you tonight’s blast. Be prepared for fast exhaling of air as we farewell a Shiva regular and preview the big round ahead on the final, yeah we’re not coming back next week, SHIVA BLAST!

It was a week of heartbreak for some, but when it came to Sunday night, cheers could be heard from computer nooks around the country as the villain was slain and tonight, we dedicate this podcast to that iconic loss. Buckle yourselves in for a bumpy preliminary final edition of the Shiva Blast!

It's the first week of finals and we bring on Coaches Matt March and Matthew McDonald to go through teams and have have a laugh.

We attempt to talk to Coach Ben Messemaker of Lippy Kissy FC ahead of the most anticipated match of the round and it goes to shit. Fucking Porter. But fuck it, have a listen to teams and come in the Back Door with Porter and Saunders
