Listen as Susan and her youngest daughter Kathryn debrief games of her beloved Geelong Cats over the AFL Season!

Susan and Kathryn are back for the 2026 AFL season! In our first episode for our 6th season (what??), we discuss the Cats' first three games, whether a competitive attitude is a gift or a curse, whether "sophisticated" Magpie tattoos are a real thing, and begin our investigation of the Geelong Football Club’s email responses… are they using AI or just ignoring her?

S6. Episode 1 / Geelong v Adelaide

A week after the Cats' brutal Grandfinal loss, Susan is riding the Ghan to Central Australia. Not only that, but she’s “over it”! We debrief the game, hear her advice for fans still grieving, and get real-time emu sightings. A note from Kathryn: Thanks to my very wise and also silly mum - it's a special thing when you get to have a project with your mum and have fun together. Thanks also to everyone who sent in questions. I’ve had a lot of fun! xx

S5. Episode 8 / Grand Final

As we dive into finals time, Geelong is riding high and the lid is rattling! In this episode we debrief Geelong's last two wins, and get excited in the lead up to friday's Preliminary Final against the Hawks. While Kathryn's lack of footy knowledge is shining more brightly than ever before, you can enjoy Susan's (kind of lengthy but overall complimentary) story about her train trip to the MCG, her advice to people who are thinking of switching teams ("Love the one you're with"), and special guest Jarrod Bates doing a footy-related Gandalf impression.

S5. Episode 7 / Finals time!

The Cats are on a winning streak, and Susan is in high spirits. Listen as Kathryn gets all the details about her parrot viewing antics in yesterday's 3rd quarter against the Swans, how the Cats can continue their form into finals, and whether her Geelong membership gives her the right to speak to players in the Highton fruit shop (spoiler, yes it does).

S5. Episode 6 / Geelong v Sydney

In this episode, Susan and Kathryn debrief two recent losses (plus one win!) for the Cats. We also discuss whether Susan would ever knit a Collingwood scarf, whether she has been wandering the streets in the final quarter lately, and whether one should EVER accept defeat!

S5. Episode 5 / Geelong v GWS Giants

In this episode, Susan and Kathryn dive into the Cats' latest glorious winning streak, discuss the prospect of a home final at Kardinia Park, debate who the kindest Geelong player is, and ponder a world without free-to-air footy...

S5. Episode 4. Geelong v Essendon

In this episode, Susan and Kathryn are back after a string of holidays and plenty of merriment to dive into the last six Geelong games! They share some 'Cats in the Community' stories from listeners, welcome a cameo from our resident Collingwood supporter Jarrod Bates, chat head lice strategies, and kick things off with a symphony of bird sounds...

S5. Episode 3 / Geelong v Western Bulldogs

In this episode, Susan and Kathryn discuss the last three Geelong games, including the Cats glorious win against Adelaide over the weekend. They also ponder a new world of Kayo adventures (or struggles) for Susan in a world without free-to-air footy, and whether Patrick Dangerfield needs to 'calm down' for the sake of his family.

Susan and Kathryn begin the 2025 AFL season! Look out, world, here they come for Season 5...
