Things have turned around dramatically for the Cats since we last recorded, with Geelong on a five-game winning streak! In this episode, Susan and Kathryn discuss last night’s game (and whether she was able to watch…), hear Susan's story about recently playing it cool while Ollie Henry’s dog was in a puddle, and discuss why the club hasn't responded to her letter about the 'abominable' Thursday night games.
...The Cats are on a losing streak, and Susan is feeling doubtful about their finals prospects for 2026. Because of that, she and Kathryn turn their attention to the World Cup for some better content. Susan has three main requests: “more goals, please!”, "Go to bed, Donald!", and "Nicole, please send further information/footage to help me fully answer your question regarding Shakira’s hip thrusts". Also, sending a hu...
This episode, Susan and Kathryn debrief the Cats’ latest four games, including Friday’s win against the Gold Coast!

Episode 2 is here! Kathryn and Susan debrief the last three games, including that massive win over the Bulldogs and Jeremy Cameron’s 10-goal bonanza. They ask the big question: has he officially reached ‘Secret Laundry Poster’ status for Susan, alongside the great Gary Ablett? Plus, we dive into why Kathryn was snubbed from the family Kayo account and how Susan got April Fooled by Bailey Nelson’s haircut pra...
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...

In the Season Finale for 2024, Susan and Kathryn do a live recording! Plus… it’s Susan’s birthday! They celebrate by recapping the Cats performance in the preliminary finals (look out for Susan’s descriptions of listening to frogs, rather than the final quarter), the 2024 season-that-was, and hopes for the 2025 season.
Thanks to everyone who listened and/or submitted questions this year, and joined...

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.

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...
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.

The official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan.
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
