Welcome to a special episode of the BYC on a significant day…

Twenty years ago today – June 25th, 2005 – a group of tragic cricket fans in Wellington, dressed head-to-toe in Beige Brigade kit, gathered around some crude recording gear and hit record on what would become New Zealand’s first-ever sports podcast… The BYC.

It was the heyday of The Ricky Gervais Podcast with Ricky, Stephen Merchant, and Karl Pilkington. The term “podcast” had only just been coined by a Guardian columnist the year before.

Born out of the Beige Brigade fan movement formed in 1999, the BYC is now comfortably New Zealand’s longest-running podcast series, sports or otherwise.

On a cold, wet Wellington evening in June 2005, New Zealand’s version of Gervais, Merchant, and Pilkington — Paul Ford, Kevin Sinnott, and Jason Willis — recorded the first official BYC episode, backed by resident crooner Blair Sayer.
Join ACC Head G Lane joins Dylan Cleaver and Paul Ford for a trip down memory lane!
