  • New Zealand TV Takeover!
    Apr 16 2026

    This week the pod gets taken over by two recognisable faces for Kiwis sitting in their living room.


    TV Presenters Sonia Gray (Mind Menders, Lotto, Wheel of Fortune) and Matt Gibb (Breakfast TV, Find my Country house, Squirt) are known to New Zealanders from making literally hours and hours of tele but, when they aren’t doing that, they are usually glued to the cricket.


    Join them as they go through their own (modest) playing careers, their run ins with actual, real life cricketers and what they would change about our beloved game.
