Been a 6% alcohol content beer it seems a good idea to have them with a guest who just has to walk next door. Once again it is a Friday night, once again the Collingwood Magpies are playing and once again we have a Pies supporter(and it is not Ledge) at the FFTE bar.

That old friend is former co-host and founder Ben Hodgens. Ben even with the knowledge that all Ledge will want to talk about is his ladder topping beloved St.Kilda Saints(and apolagise to Ross Lyon), agrees to forego an outdoor morning in foggy, dreary, cold and depressive Ashford( that description is totally Ledge's) to chat about AFL, about what he...2023-04-0356 minFresh From The EskyS2 Episode 8: "Air Turtle"A very "stripped back" episode this week with our guest Tim "Turtle" Borg and his good friend, also former guest of FFTE Joel "Oysters" Kilpatrick as guest co-host.
