The Final Word with Alison Mitchell

Season 8, Ep 30: Measured, erudite, and always the best prepared in the game – Alison Mitchell has become one of the most broadly heard voices on cricket around the world. That didn’t happen by accident. Starting nearly two decades ago when she was the runner on Richie Benaud’s TV broadcast, Ali has worked her way through the county reporting circuit and assignments in distant countries all the way to Test cricket and the Olympic Games. She talks us through the trip from then to now.  Your new Nerd Pledge numbers:  7.69 – Matt Wust 2.33 – Chris Lawson  Send us a Nerd Pledge at patreon.com/thefinalword  Find previous episodes at finalwordcricket.com  Message from anywhere on earth with your ZOLEO, at zoleo.com  Check out CBUS Super at cbussuper.com.au  The Final Word is produced by Jay Mueller on the Bad Producer Poodcat Network  Title track by Urthboy  Support the show: https://patreon.com/thefinalword See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
