Stretching the legs out on a walk through the wilderness to the wheelhouse where we're discussing the apparent lack of hype for the Joseph Parker vs Junior Fa fight... as well as a few other aspects of that bad boy (6:22) then it's a Flying Kiwis treat with a tier system ranking the best footballers out of Aotearoa (32:21) and then a cheeky bit of cricket yarnage to finish (58:42). Right on time.

Another TNC Variety Show and quite possibly the best one yet. Starting off with some tea-sippin' mindfulness (2:22) before the 1332 Hot Takes serve up a bit of Breakers basketball and Finn Allen Super Smash antics (3:37). Next up the Welly Nix get the xG treatment along with legendary Ross Taylor/Sophie Devine numbers for your Vitamin Stats prescription (10:07) before we go Deep In The Mangroves regarding Winston Reid's new club and some Kiwi NRL x Parramatta Eels (15:10). Finish This Sentence goes with Blackcaps death bowling and BreakNix feelings (24:48) and then of course we serve up The Jams (34:15) and some On The Radar (38:13). Big churs.

It's the Warriors 2021 NRL season on the cards today. What's Nathan Brown's coaching tenure gonna be like? What kinda stylistic visions will we get from this Wozzas side? Which young guns are on the verge of a breakthrough? Will we see the old winger crew back? What about a few of them new recruits? Heaps of good yarns... following after some quick Steven Adams thoughts (1:34) and then a few ideas on the Blackcaps making the Test Champo final (6:44). Warriors stuff kicks in after that (16:54). Sweet as.

Variety Show time with all the usual favourites. We've got 1332 Hot Takes (4:45) which each have a lovely, happy vibe. There are a couple cricketing Vitamin Stats (12:47) (one practical, one not so). We get Deep In The Mangroves (19:40) with some football on the telly and a bit of Warriors post-RTS... with more RTS (and a bit of cricket) as we play Finish This Sentence (28:57). Plus Jams (34:53) and On The Radar (38:49) to polish it all off, booyakasha.

It's a Super Smash Special on The Niche Cast this week, going deep on some domestic T20 yarns... starting with the general excellence of Wellington Cricket (3:04). After some team culture yarns spread out across the rest of the country we crack into some quickfire thoughts on Blackcaps T20 selection (33:38) and then to close it's all about a few Women's Super Smash standouts and the hefty context of the next twelve months of White Ferns cricket (53:30).

TNC Variety Show, edition rua, and we're straight into it with the 1332 Hot Takes (3:34) involving football fields and T20 batting. Vitamin Stats (8:59) serve up some cricketing points of interest as well as a bit of Dan Hooker. Next up we go Deep In The Mangroves (17:10) with David Nyika's impending pro boxing career and an undercover Warriors signing. And naturally we chase that with some Finish This Sentence (25:36), Jams (33:06) & On The Radar (37:21). Get amongst.

And now for the old fashioned long chat podcast, in which we begin with some deep dive ideas about Steven Adams and how he's fitting into the New Orleans Pelicans (2:08), then a few Aussie NBL yarns regarding Yanni Wetzell and also the NZ Breakers (24:06). Gotta spare a few words for the Welly Nix and the kiwis in the W-League (34:55) and then we pay a little tribute to the undercover king and queen of Flying Kiwis these days... gotta listen to know who though (42:17). Quick words on the Avant Garde Cricket Club to finish (54:15) and there ya go.

Heeey, what's this? A fresh new Niche Cache podcast? Yeah mate. Ripping through the big topics at the start of the week (still got our regular convo pod dropping later) in the form of a few sneaky segments. 1332 Hot Takes get us going (3:13) with a bit of Sean Marks and some Blackcaps thoughts. Vitamin Stats (10:16) serves up some Test bowling persistence and a few Chris Wood numbers. Next we go Deep in the Mangroves (15:02) with Dan Hooker & Charlisse Leger-Walker before Finish This Sentence (22:00) takes us on a few different tangents. Musical tastes emerge with The Jams (36:25) and then it's On The Radar (41:40) for a selection of upcoming sporting follows. Every Tuesday morning we'll be filling out these same segments with what you wanna know... stay tuned as we ramp up the sounds too. Cheers for listening and get amongst our El Niche Cache on Patreon for the bonus behind the scenes audio.

Last podcast of the year, folks, so gotta kick it off with some favourite albums chat (8:10). After that there's a whole lotta cricket (15:17) from Blackaps T20 team ideas to that Test squad to the continuing tale of murky spinners to Craig McMillan's style guide. Then a tribute to the dynasty of the Canterbury Pride as they win a third Women's Premiership in a row (1:25:14) and then some Flying Kiwis yarns ahead of a potential new FKs Transfer Season (1:51:27). Get amongst. Happy New Years.

The hot streak continues with another belter podcast. The Men's footy Premiership is first up as we dissect some Auckland City struggles before getting into some deeper football philosophising (10:37). Then a breeze through some Flying Kiwis standouts (39:31) before pondering about an influx of kiwi sportsfolk playing for Aussie teams - W-League, WBBL, NBL, etc (45:12). And then, yes, we save the entire back half for Blackcaps talk (1:01:05). From the Blackcaps'a amazing Test team still needing to prove itself overseas to some bonkers T20 squad selections and a few limited overs alternative spin options... mate, too much to list. You'd better just listen.
