From Commonwealth games, Olympics, three Rugby World Cups and countless netball seasons, Nigel Yalden has been the voice of Radio Sport in New Zealand. As a first overseas guest on the pod, he talks to Nick about how he found his way into radio, the pressure of commentating on the All Blacks to an All Blacks nation and why he'll always have a nip of brandy on standby. There's also a discussion on unconscious bias and the culture of commentating in different parts of the world.
