#9 AYOTF, February 16, 2020 The expansion of AFLW coverage in the US, and how to grow AFL support in the U.S.

Episode 9 - A Yank on the Footy
If you like the show, consider helping me out at Buy Me a Coffee . Also, if you are interested in any podcast gear, you can find it on my Redbubble page. 
This week's episode takes a look at the expansion of AFLW game coverage in the US, and whether or not it is sustainable and whether it will carry over into the AFL season.  I also explore a very “doable” idea to help promote the AFL to fans in the US. I’ll also explore the possibility of an entire round of international play, as well as look at two very sad stories this weekend.  I'll also share a bit of information about the research I am doing for an upcoming episode. 
Here are the links that I used for research into this episode.

#7 AYOTF, 1 February 2020 - An interview w/ Frode Jurnhart, arguably the biggest Bulldogs supporter in the U.S.

Episode 7 - A Yank on the Footy
In this episode, I sit down for an interview with Frode Jurnhart, arguably the biggest Western Bulldogs supporter on the East Coast of the United States.  
Frode talks about his 2019 trip to “The Kennel”, his interaction with many of the Bulldogs players, and how he was welcomed with open arms by the Bulldogs Cheer Squad.
He also talks about his first impressions of Marvel Stadium, and perhaps the most important part of the interview….talking about those wonderful, tasty Meat Pies.

#6 AYOTF, January 26 2020 A look at the 2020 AFLW Season

Episode 6 - A Yank on the Footy
Happy Australia Day!
If you like the show, consider helping me out at Buy Me a Coffee . Also, if you are interested in any podcast gear, you can find it on my Redbubble page. 
In this episode, I take a look at the upcoming AFLW season, including my predictions on who plays finals and who ends up winning the premiership.
I also discuss an inspirational photo that I ran across on Twitter, that I think could have the same impact on the game as the iconic photo of Tayla Harris.  Since I recorded this episode, I've received permission to post a link to the photograph.   https://twitter.com/geoffmatho/status/1219795387126435845/photo/1
I'll also make the case that Jess Wuetschner just might be the toughest person on the planet.
We also look at who should have a club first.  Tasmania or Darwin? Should it be an AFL or AFLW club?
