Housecast is the podcast of Lowerhouse Cricket Club in Lancashire, conceived in 2018 by Jez Hope, Joe Martin, and Adam Hope. It captures cherished club tales, recorded to be enjoyed by all. Despite a rocky start, the podcast has thrived, especially during COVID-19 when Zoom allowed more frequent recordings with club characters. Gary Moorhouse, Gav Shields, Joe Beneduce.
