After a weekend of being an insufferable bastard, for some reason BennyMacca is still hosting the podcast this week and its a big one, with Shiva finals upon us and some big ramifications from this past weekend. Crutt gets forgettful, McRath might be getting too big for his boots and Tim Marsh turns back the clock to reflect on some solid advice on a huge pre-finals SHIVA BLAST!

Welcome to the Thursday Back Door with Porter and Saunders. Tonight we're gonna go over the ins and outs in the afl and our plans for this pod going forward. Let us know in the comments who would you Kill, Fuck, Marry in Shiva and send in your matchup for us to go over in week 1 of the finals!

After an episode in which the wheels fell off in glorious Crutt-driven fashion, can we get things back on track this week? Given this introduction is being prepared after we recorded, the answer is no, Benny is all over the shop. Good thing we’ve got others to carry us as Crutt returns to Lippy Kissy, McRath tries another new segment (and succeeds?) and Tim Marsh weighs up the pointlessness of it all in a pre-last round bumper edition of the SHIVA BLAST!

This week Crutt finally gets his chance to host the podcast, and lets just say the results are mixed. We get all the regular segments, maybe not in the normal format, and hear from some old friends.

Damon's been away for 2 weeks and apart from the notably excellent performance of Coach Tim Marsh, there’s a bit of cleaning up to be done. Benny has been head wobbling up a storm so that’s first up. The boys take stock around the leagues and see if Crutt has recovered from the heartbreak of a non-invite in this weeks SHIVA BLAST!

Sorry Everyone, seeemed to be an error in uploading and you only got half the podcast. Plese delete the previous version and listen to this one

 

Nope, you guessed wrong. Damon isnt back. While he has another week off, Tim Marsh fills in, and does, well, pretty much everything for this week. Benny goes along for the ride - basically like those producer/editors that sometimes have a mic in front of them.

With Damon needing a break and myself with a new job and baby, we didnt think we would be able to bring you a pod this week. But debut cohost Tim Marsh has stepped up to the plate beautifully, and as they say, the show must go on!

With contributions from regulars Jack Saunders, Crutt, and Matty McGrath, this is no half arsed podcast. No ladies and gentlemen, this is a full arsed Shiva Blast!

We've taken a week's rest to put our feet up and prepare ourselves for the second half of the year, all the while the votes for the 2018 Shiva Song Contest stacked up. You'll find out who takes out the Mark Santillo Trophy for Musical Excellent, be disappointed by Benny and get happy with the return of both Crutt and Marsh on the post bye return of the SHIVA BLAST!

The votes have been cast over the 2 rounds and now we are left with a Final 6. Take a listen to the finalists in their raw glory (no idiot hosts in the background talking over the top this time) and cast your 3-2-1 votes for the 2018 Shiva Song Contest Winner. Who will take out the Mark Santillo Trophy of Musical Excellence this year? It's up to you! (Only vote once though you fuckers). Vote, donate and soak up the musical final of the SHIVA BLAST (song contest)!
