Lawrence Mooney launches podcast with Matthew Hardy on LiSTNR

Triple M Sydney Breakfast host Lawrence ‘Moonman’ Mooney has another project with Southern Cross Austereo (SCA), launching a podcast via its LiSTNR platform.

Saturday Afternoon Fever features Mooney and author Matthew Hardy reading Hardy’s book of the same name as the duo share stories about family, relationships, youth, footy and the masculine facade.

“Lawrence Mooney’s new podcast Saturday Afternoon Fever is a riotous retrospective of childhood and adolescent haphazards and hopes alongside the author of the revered book of the same name, Matthew Hardy. As each page is turned, hilarity and tangents ensue as the duo get side-tracked with life shaping childhood and adolescent memories alongside their love of the suburbs and the game of AFL,” LiSTNR said.

LiSTNR said the podcast will feature great banter, gags and Mooney’s laconic Aussie voice, while Mooney said he’s thrilled to bring the book to life.

“There is an emotional moment in this journey, Saturday Afternoon Fever, that I urge you to hang around for. I’m happy to announce that my favourite sports book is now your favourite podcast. It’s brilliant author Matthew Hardy and I bring this hilarious, tragic and triumphant best-selling favourite to life in your earholes. Matthew attempts to read the book whilst I keep interrupting because most of his funny, magic memories spark even more of my own,” he said.

The podcast is available from Thursday, August 5.
