In association with Bonds Chafe Off Undies, The Agenda Podcast presents 'VERSUS' - a podcast series that delves into the sporting rivalries and frictions that have been etched into the history books...

Join Dylan Cleaver, ACC Head G Lane and Paul Ford for the most high-stakes cricket rivalry on the planet: India vs Pakistan.

When India meets Pakistan in cricket, it is more than a match. It is a happening — a happening defined by shared history, by partition, by religion, border disputes, famine, assassination, tragedy, geopolitics, terrorism, nuclear threats and, of course, a fervour for the game of cricket that is unparalleled anywhere else in the world...

'Off The Long Run' is a new interview series on The Agenda Podcast. This isn’t your typical podcast packed with “raw, honest chats” or viral clips of emotional breakdowns. Instead, it's a collection of great New Zealanders sharing some truly memorable stories from their lives in sport.

Next up on Off The Long Run is Great New Zealander and Black Caps fast bowler Kyle Jamieson, aka Gulliver.

Kyle talks through the upcoming home summer and what it’ll be like facing off against former teammate Tim Southee (5:25). He also reacts to Lockie Ferguson’s comments from a previous episode about “bowling loads” and the toll it takes on quicks (8:30).

Then it’s into the new crop of Black Caps fast bowlers — including the team nickname for Will O’Rourke (10:00). Plus, Kyle touches on his batting, and the mercurial willow work of Trent Boult (16:20).

We also head back to the scenes of the World Test Championship Final in 2021, reliving the glory and Kyle's meme-worthy dominance of Virat Kohli (22:30).

Finally, G Lane puts Gulliver through the infamous ‘22 in 2’ questions (33:40)!

Welcome to a special episode of the BYC on a significant day…

Twenty years ago today – June 25th, 2005 – a group of tragic cricket fans in Wellington, dressed head-to-toe in Beige Brigade kit, gathered around some crude recording gear and hit record on what would become New Zealand’s first-ever sports podcast… The BYC.

It was the heyday of The Ricky Gervais Podcast with Ricky, Stephen Merchant, and Karl Pilkington. The term “podcast” had only just been coined by a Guardian columnist the year before.

Born out of the Beige Brigade fan movement formed in 1999, the BYC is now comfortably New Zealand’s longest-running podcast series, sports or otherwise.

On a cold, wet Wellington evening in June 2005, New Zealand’s version of Gervais, Merchant, and Pilkington — Paul Ford, Kevin Sinnott, and Jason Willis — recorded the first official BYC episode, backed by resident crooner Blair Sayer.

Join ACC Head G Lane joins Dylan Cleaver and Paul Ford for a trip down memory lane!
