10 APR 2019 · The Classic NBL Podcast has been temporarily brought out of retirement to preview the upcoming 2019 New Zealand NBL season. While there will be no weekly podcast this season - cue cries of desperation from the tens of devoted listeners - Niall Anderson and Sam Garriock had enough takes that they wanted to get out onto the ol' world wide web that they decided to put together a two-part NBL preview extravaganza, for old times' sake. In Part Two, the guys discuss the league having games broadcast on SKY this year, the league's expansion into Australia, and preview the fortunes of the Southern Huskies, Hawke's Bay Hawks [well, kinda...], Wellington Saints and Southland Sharks. Thanks for listening - see you for the World Cup?

The guys run through all there is to know about the Saints v Hawks and Giants v Sharks encounters, and since they are going to be absolute barnburners, there is a brief lesson in where the term "barnburner" comes from.

13 JUL 2018 · On possibly the nerdiest ever episode of the Classic NBL Podcast (and believe me, that's saying something), Sam Garriock catches up with Breakers Analytics Manager Andrew Price to discuss how he went from a fan blogging about the ANBL to becoming a member of the Breakers' staff. There's plenty of statistical discussion, and Andrew also gives some insight into what to expect from the Breakers this year.

22 JUN 2018 · Sam Garriock talks to Kiwi coach Ross McMains, who has recently been appointed as Head Video Coordinator/Player Development for the New York Knicks. McMains talks about his upbringing, applying for a coaching gig with the Breakers while still at high school, and how he teaches and gains the respect of the players he develops. As expected, there's lots of chat about his tenure with the Taranaki Mountain Airs, including a truly inexplicable question about Omar Samhan, and some Knicks talk at the end.
