Om Podcasten

We (the Viva La Dirt League boys) have decided to jump on the podcast bandwagon because, well, we were told we should. Join us - Rowan, Alan and Adam - for “We Were Told We Should Do a Podcast” as we blend our nerdy obsessions with infectious banter. We speak to the realms of pop culture and gaming, with a sprinkle of personal revelations and whatever random topics enter our brains. Expect laughs, deep chats and a reminder that it's perfectly cool to embrace your inner geek. New episodes every Tuesday 1am PT / 10pm NZT | Follow us on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube
