It's The Mitchell Johnson Cricket Show, with our great friend and regular co-host, Bharat Sundaresan. This is a new project for the two of them, which has been some time in planning. It will be where, as they say in their intro, tell 'the story of the man behind the mo'. As that passage goes on to say, “despite his fierce exterior, there was a vulnerability underneath” and that’s something Mitch is very happy to explain and discuss, both from his playing days and the years since. We’ve had Mitch on The Final Word before at a London live show in 2019 - he was an excellent guest, and we’re sure this show is going to be a fine contribution to the cricket podcasting world. So, here’s a taste of that with episode one.
