Australian cricket star Mitchell Starc sat down with Tom Mitchell to talk through Australia’s monster upcoming Test Cricket schedule — including huge series against South Africa and New Zealand. Starc opens up about the challenges of playing in different corners of the world, becoming the highest-bid player in IPL auction history, and how the auction rules have since changed. He also reflects on Australia’s last series against South Africa and the moment where, in his words, “the line was clearly crossed.” Get fired up for the biggest summer of cricket ever.

Well here we are. The FINAL episode of the Titch & Ginni Show for 2026! It's time we breakdown what was a Grand Final for the ages. We break down everything that happened in the final four minutes, once Freo hit the Wharfie Time button, the Alex Pearce Injury, whether Treacy should've been behind the ball, and the Shai Bolton/Will Ashcroft Norm Smith Medal debate. It's been an unbelievable new venture for Ball Magnets, and we truly believe we've created something that hasn't been seen before in the AFL space. (No doubt there'll be some replicas in 2027). Thankyou to Jack Ginnivan for jumping out of his comfort zone and trying something new. Not only is it different for an active player to show up week in, week out in a podcast setting, but to analyse football in realtime whilst still playing is something we've had the privilege to watch, but others have been able to benefit off his football brain. To everyone at Pivotal Conversations that made our life easy on a weekly basis, Steve Kavakos and Bailey McCabe as our lead producers and who brought the vision to life, thank you. Any feedback across the season that has been, please drop a comment and let us know what you think!

What an honour it is to have Steele Sidebottom on the show as his career comes to a close with Collingwood playing in the first Wildcard Round in the history of the AFL. Steele is an absolute champion of the game and Collingwood football club, a premiership teammate to both of our regular hosts, and one of the known good guys of the industry. We did an episode with Steele all the way back in 2023, before the Pies won the premiership, so make sure you go and listen to that one if you get a chance!
