Story Time 21, plus Tim Wigmore’s new book

For the footy fans in our ranks, it is Grand Final weekend! Geoff can’t be in Brisbane to watch his beloved Cats play off for the flag, in Sydney instead to call the WBBL. But before he turns to that, into cricket history we go once more. The highlight? Something to do with a fragrant harbour and some barramundi. Then a discussion with Tim Wigmore whose new book studies why some sportspeople are more likely to make it to the top.   Your Nerd Pledge numbers are:  3.33 – Jon Tucker  3.68 – Schmicko  1.90 – Lousie Southall  2.16 – Michael W.
