Newcastle Herald sports journalist Barry Toohey has a new podcast dedicated to rugby league and the Newcastle Knights.
Every week, Toohey interviews one of the biggest names in NSW rugby league and the Newcastle Knights, bringing his years of reporting experience and extensive industry contacts to offer a unique and in-depth behind-the-scenes look at the state's most popular sport.
Listen to every new episode of Toohey's News on Spotify, the Apple Podcasts app, or wherever you get your favourite podcasts:
Veteran broadcaster Craig Hamilton joins the show in the most recent episode, as the impact of coronavirus is felt around the region ahead of the Knights' clash with Wests Tigers Sunday afternoon.
Hamilton opens up on some of his most memorable career moments as ABC's sideline eye, and on his journey to become one of Australia's foremost mental health advocates, as well as showing off his remarkable (and hilarious!) impression of radio legend Alan Jones.
In Episode one, Michael Hagan - the then rookie coach who led the Newcastle Knights to premiership victory in his first year at the helm - looks back on his time as a player in the NRL, his historic rise in Newcastle, and one infamous tackle on Wests Tigers star player Ellery Hanley in 1988.
Toohey will bring a new episode to all your favourite podcasting apps every week, complementing his premium and exclusive Knights reporting and analysis in the pages of the Newcastle Herald.
