Joe Otto fan

Love the show. You really. Red to get Joe Otto back on to hear about his first day of work story. The best story you’ll ever hear.

Love these two!

Love their chemistry and senses of humour. Selfishly would love more or longer eps! Just like their SEN show minus the ads 🙌

ElInsider ,

Garrity & Whispers unplugged 🌟

Nothing better than Gary & the Whisp giving us the behind the scenes glimpse - into their lives, their families, their friends, the media industry, travelling, eating, drinking and how they get through the challenges of everyday life. I love it! Really deep dives into two very interesting people with a great history of footy, media and much more. The best podcast.
