The Front Page - A podcast by NZ Herald
Over the next week, two big sporting gambles years in the making are about to have their payoff. On Saturday, Auckland FC – our newest A-League football team – will play their debut game against the Brisbane Roar. And then on Monday, rising Formula 1 star Liam Lawson makes his debut as a full-time driver for Red Bull at the US Grand Prix. It’s an exciting time for Kiwi sport, and shows at the changing potential of where we can succeed. Today on The Front Page, we dig into these exciting developments with Newstalk ZB sport news director Clay Wilson and senior sports reporter and podcast host Elliott Smith.
