Episode 5: The return of the janitor (and Freddie)
Direct from Wetherspoons, we bring you the SPIN podcast! With clips from recent star interviews and cricket-themed chat, it’s the number one* cricket podcast on the web.
It’s high concept. We do a brilliant cricket magazine full of star interviews. Then we go up the Wetherspoon’s to talk about it. This time, we’ve got Rob Smyth, the Third Umpire and Jono Russell – plus Andy Flintoff. You may have heard of him? Write to us at editors@spincricket.com with praise, blame and donations.
