Talk of the Town Podcast

Town Media

Talk of The Town (TOTT) is the weekly conversation you’d have with your mates — where sport is the beating heart of the show. AFL leads the charge and yes, we carry a clear Brisbane Lions bias (we won’t pretend otherwise). But if it’s happening anywhere across the sporting world, we’re talking about it. Hosted by three brothers bringing energy, sharp takes and honest banter, TOTT keeps it structured, real and entertaining. Throughout the year we also drop special series covering the biggest sporting events — including our World Cup series Red, White and Roo. If it’s worth debating, it’s Talk of The Town.
