It’s back, but not as you know it.

The Western Bulldogs’ official weekly podcast has returned for 2020, with Bob Murphy in the hosting chair for a third straight season.

His co-pilot for this year is none other than three-time Charles Sutton Medallist and the Dogs’ newly crowned skipper, Marcus Bontempelli.

Under a fresh podcast rebrand, the two Bulldog captains will navigate through the inevitable ups and downs of the 2020 season.

While you’ve all come to know Freedom in a Cage, from now on you’ll be listening to The Barkly Street Podcast.

It’s a strong start from the two club legends in the first episode of the year, where they discuss the current COVID-19 crisis, how you can get involved in shaping the discussion topics from week-to-week, the Bont’s strategy when it comes to tossing the coin as captain, and much more.
