The Hill Radio

***The sound isn't great*** But we're back. We take no time to join the chorus of referee whinging, herald NSWs Origin win, and dissect the Tigers. Again, sorry about the sound, but it's something.

League. Blokes. Competition points. We had to return. Sparks is in full flight discussing things like Dugan’s positional switch and the phrase ‘shifting the ball’, while Pez attempts to add a little League nous to his limited repertoire via Jamie Soward stories. It’s a return to the old format, with Who Would You Rather Be, Are You Interested and Tiger Corner taking centre stage. Great to be back. Cheers.

Sparks expertly guides us through the choppy waters of a 4-0 Ashes series win. As usual much focus is on the vagaries of Melbourne sporting culture, as well as the whereabouts of Jacob Liddle in January previews of the Wests Tigers.

Belated post: We recorded this last week in between the Gabba and Adelaide Tests. Or, more relevantly, before the RWC Final between Australia and England. The predictions are suitably terrible. We discuss it all, including Ange standing down too.

**It's changeover season, where nothing and everything is on. Sparks leads us through the Rugby League World Cup, cricket gets too earnest and serious, Sparks brings us back with his take on the AFL trade period, we talk Ange, the horses and the Supercars. The last two are pretty good. ** recorded last week.

Pez reads a statement, we wrap the finals, preview the grand final, ask how 'Melbourne' is Melbourne and how good is Morgan.

Pez reads a statement concerning the last show, we wrap the finals, and preview the Grand Final. How Melbourne are Melbourne, and how magnificent is Morgan?

One for the ages here. Sparks and Pez reunited in North London, England after three solid weeks of pushing the envelope. We talk Rugby League, Cricket, The Oval, The Tigers, Yuvraj and Mongia, Gold Coast Bears, how to be a fan, and more. Apologies in advance, to be honest.

We celebrate fifty shows with possibly the longest, most meandering production of the lot. Origin, Gould, Tiger Corner, the staples, and a special, special, interview with Steve Mascord at the back end. At two hours, you may want to break this one up.

If either of us had hair, it'd be torn. We wrap Origin 2, Sparks talks Tigers, and we answer your questions.

On our May podcast we get sober and serious: cocaine, John Grant, City-Country, and player transfers dominate the conversation before Sparks gives runs the rule over his beloved Tigers and we take your correspondence for the month. It's long, it's deep, it's Rugby League.

The long-awaited, long-form return of The Hill. 90 minutes of explosive Rugby League conversation, 70 minutes of which is dedicated to Tiger Corner. Brace yourself - like his club mascot, Sparks is well and truly out of the cage here, roaring and clawing his way through the big issues: The Big Four, Cleary, Grub Reynolds, Marina, Simona, Farah, and Taylor's Elijah and Jason. It's great to be back on The Hill.

Wrapping the test, Indian selections, ODIs, BBL, cricket bio's, going live on FB again

90 minutes of indulgent, unadulterated 2016 sporting reflection

Test review, Day-Night tests, running the rule over commentary, Ponting and Warne, Big Bash League preview, going Facebook live.

We've been waiting 12 long months for this, and now it's here: The Hill's Pakistan Special. Low on historical accuracy, high on passion and homage. Tune in and salute the boys who 'Let The Tamasha Run'.

The season's on a roll and so are we, finally. We cover the ODIs, Maxwell, the Test team, BBL on Christmas, and proposed changes to the law - namely smaller bats and red cards.

After Australia's victory in a dead rubber test, Pez and Sparks return to cover the nation's glorious renaissance.

The boys return to run the rule over Australia's cricketing apocalypse. It's solemn (barely), sober (not really) and sensible (debatable).

The footy is done, so now Pez - coming headfirst into the wind - sits opposite the downbreeze-bowling Sparks to discuss the 16/17 cricket season. Small apology: Cup Day meant it got a little noisy, but the voices still bellow so you should be okay. We're joined on the show by special guest Louis Turner.
