An story in the business pages caught our attention this week. The sporting empire of Melbourne journalist, broadcaster and media mogul Craig Hutchinson seems to be in financial difficulties. We ask the question: Why would one invest so heavily in sports broadcasting and sporting team ownership? Is there really a dollar to be made? Is it all about gambling in the long run?
We have a great conversation with musician, songwriter and author Dave Warner - not the cricketer - who has put the old 'From the Suburbs' band back together for a series of shows culminating in a gig at the Newmarket Hotel, St Kilda next Saturday (Nov 25, 2023). We dig deep into Dave's sporting songs, in particular, '1/2 Time at the Football' and 'Wimbledon' among his many other footy songs.
