Welcome to another season of the Rugby Roundtable Podcast! Since 2006; when New Zealand still hadn’t heard the word Podcast, the Rugby Roundtable has been spreading the word of Rugby to the online audience, and now 164 episodes and 4 years later it’s time to kick things off again.
This year there some interesting changes have been made, the first is that the show is now being released in three segments across the week. These segments will allow me to talk in greater depth about Rugby in different regions of the world and so easier for those of you who would like to hear more about Rugby closer, rather than sit through 30-40 minutes of stuff that you are not so into.
This change breaks away from the single show that is standard amongst Podcasts and I hope each segment will develop into it’s own very entertaining entity, it may seem a little weird at first but I think it is a innovative approach that will work out well for you the listener as it keeps the Rugby Roundtable sounding fresh and different from the rest of the productions in the genre.
Because you are a subscriber you won’t pay any more than you already have, it just means that there will be three updates a week.
Segments will be broken into Southern Hemisphere; featuring Super Rugby, NZ NPC, Currie Cup and Tri-Nations, Northern Hemisphere; covering Celtic League, Top 14, English Premiership and 6 Nations, while International will deal with rest of the world giving focus to Asia, Canada and the United States.
Over the following weeks the shows will pick up tempo and audience favourites, such as Emails From Around The World, Music Time and Rugby Roundtable News will return plus I hope to crank out a few more features where possible.
The only thing left for me to add is that I need your help to grow the show so please invite as many people as you to can to subscribe, as you know this is fully independent production, it is not sanctioned by any governing body and advertisers are still wondering if advertising online works… go figure.

OK then Jed, nice stuff… Sounds like a great idea and innovation is what we like both on the paddock and off!!!
One query though. If it is going to become a 3x Weekly release, is there any way we can get email notifications of when the segments hit the airwaves??? I’m not sure if thats something you could do or whether it could be linked into the Podbean service, but I think it would help to keep the listeners up to speed.
Anyway, gotta go… If you want nay maaaaaad input into the show again this year you know where to find me!!!
