Willow Talk brings you the latest cricket news, expert opinions and fascinating interviews with cricket’s biggest names from all over the world.
Regular co-hosts Adam Peacock and former men’s Australia wicketkeeper Brad Haddin get stuck into the hot topics in the cricket world, while current Australia women’s captain Alyssa Healy adds her two cents when she’s not bludgeoning bowling attacks.
Former guests include Matthew Hayden, Mitch Starc, Nathan Lyon, Alex Carey, Maitlan Brown, Chris Rogers, Aaron Finch and Willow Talk regular Dan Christian.
Episodes drop twice a week – on Tuesdays and Thursday – while the team drops special episodes during big tournaments and series, like World Cups, Ashes series and Test matches of the home summer.
Chris from Queensland left a review on Apple saying, “This show as got it all – great insights from hosts and guests, lots of laughs, biased opinions freely given and the best yarns.”
Golftragic99 says, “Really enjoy this podcast and the banter between the hosts and guests. It’s also great to see how the competitive fire never dies even after retirement, hey Hadds! Alyssa has been a great edition.”
Dan#11 writes, “I travel a lot, so listen to A LOT of cricket podcasts and this one stands out! Finally the cream has risen to the top. Adam Peacock and Brad Haddin take a bow. Tip of the trucker cap to you both. If you haven’t already downloaded this podcast … you’re missing out!”
