Roll The Dice Podcast

Paul Cross

Some conversations aren’t meant to be polished. They’re meant to spill out — loud, honest, a bit reckless, and absolutely worth hearing. That’s the whole point of ROLL THE DICE. Two mates. One mic each. No script. No PR gloss. Just stories that actually sound like real life — punting highs, sporting heartbreaks, music that shaped us, and the kind of moments you only tell when the mics are on and the guard is off. And the guests we’re lining up? Not the usual carousel. People with dents, miles, and stories that haven’t been rinsed across every other show. If you’re tired of podcasts that feel like job interviews, roll with us. It’s unpredictable by design — and that’s the fun.
