Ep.5 – Unfettered Access with Michael Atkinson

Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are joined by the looming face of Stan Sport’s rugby coverage, and the host of the Inside Line podcast, Michael Atkinson onto The 8-9 Combo for the first time in 2024, to discuss the flood of rugby content in Australia and just how much of it he hosts.

 

It’s a smorgasbord for rugby fans in Australia in 2024, with upwards of ten different podcasts and rugby shows four nights a week on Stan, and with the Wallabies RWC doco featuring well alongside the likes of Six Nations: Full Contact on Netflix, and Whistleblowers on RugbyPass. The guys discuss what makes rugby work so well in documentary form, as well as running the eye over a third straight cracking weekend of Super Rugby Pacific.
