Football with Susan

With the Cats having a week off from games, Kathryn interviews a ‘still zen’ Susan about Geelong's last two games against Richmond and Sydney. They discuss her latest supermarket player sightings (and her corresponding behaviour) and tackle important questions such as ‘what is a banana kick?’ and ‘how on earth could my eldest daughter tip against the Cats?”.

In their 35th episode (!), Kathryn interviews an increasingly zen Susan about the Cats’ current losing streak, including their most recent loss to the GWS Giants. They also discuss the emotional benefits of taking a 6 year old to the game, ground-rules for chatting to players at the supermarket, and who is allowed to complain about umpires. Plus more about the A-League Grand Final than anyone could or should have expected in a footy podcast.Send questions for Susan to answer in the next episode to kathrynkel@gmail.comOriginal music by Kathryn Kelly https://open.spotify.com/artist/3bzilNq3MkBWGNgc1EgJwF

In this episode Kathryn interviews a philosophical Susan about the Cats’ first loss of the season, as well as debriefing their two previous wins against Brisbane and Carlton. They discuss at what point Jarrod’s ‘dramatic readings’ could become hurtful, how ‘dew’ is affecting Geelong’s performance, and a fair amount of family holiday logistics.Send questions for Susan to answer in the next episode to kathrynkel@gmail.comOriginal music by Kathryn Kelly https://open.spotify.com/artist/3bzilNq3MkBWGNgc1EgJwF

In this most interesting episode yet (according to co-host Kathryn that is), Susan and Kathryn debrief the Cats' last 2 wins and prepare for the upcoming game against North Melbourne. They discuss important things like 'what is a shin-boner', the weather (did someone say interesting!?), and exactly what state is Susan's lid in after 4 wins? In addition you can enjoy a dramatic reading from resident Collingwood supporter Jarrod Bates, and as always Susan answering questions from listeners.Send questions for Susan to answer in the next episode to kathrynkel@gmail.com!Original music by Kathryn Kelly: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3bzilNq3MkBWGNgc1EgJwF

In this episode Susan and Kathryn discuss the recent victory of the Cats over the Swans in the Grandfinal, as well as Susan's trip TO the Grandfinal! This is the final ep for 2022, and I (Kathryn) have had a lovely season of chatting with my mum and being silly. Thanks to everyone who listened and also those who sent in questions!

In this episode there is BIG NEWS, with Susan (and the Cats) heading to the Grand Final next weekend! Susan and Kathryn prepare emotionally (and also for the weather) as Geelong Cats head to the big one, with their biggest fan!

Susan is emotionally exhausted after a big win in the Qualifying Finals against long-time rivals... Collingwood. Susan and Kathryn discuss whether or not she watched the game in real time ("the most exciting game I just couldn't watch"), play an 'official statement' from resident 'Pies' supporter Jarrod Bates, confidently decide which condiment the Geelong Cats would be at the dinner table, and reveal how she got her new nickname "The Librarian". 

While the Cats just keep on winning, Susan describes herself as ‘terrified and excited’, we discuss the best way to cook brussel sprouts, and have a sing-along (or Kathryn does at least). Our first ever ‘show notes’: Greg Champion That's the thing about football official video
