This week our history wander takes in the famous 1960-61 West Indies tour of Australia, two different times that Zimbabwe finished with scores level, some very cryptic clues, the bird with the largest wingspan, Adam’s Forgotten Fifties series, Metallica, and some times that Blocker Wilson would rather forget.  

After that comes the Extended Edition interview from some months ago with Jarrod Kimber for the Calling The Shots doco. All of the extras that didn’t make the documentary have been polished up here for your listening enjoyment.
