The Roar Deal Podcast

In the early months of 2012, a chance meeting brought the optimism and emotion of radio host Dom Fay together with the professionalism & expertise of journalist Michael Whiting, and the footy world has never been quite the same since.

In the decade that followed, Dom & Mike shared many conversations about the Brisbane Lions, the wider AFL world, running, and cheese through the media department of the Brisbane Lions, on the airwaves of ABC Grandstand, and in numerous cafes and restaurants around Brisbane, until they went out on their own in 2023 with the launch of the new Roar Deal podcast.

From those humble cafe beginnings in 2012 to the even-more-humble surrounds of their very basic studios, Dom & Mike have taken on the media’s inability to get Jack Payne’s name right, done their best to get Dare To Beat The Bear played around the Gabba, defeated Dom’s Victorian curse, handled the heartbreak of a Grand Final loss, named & shamed Mike’s least favourite footy cliches, spoken at length about the best cheeses for handling a rough loss, campaigned hard for two tall forwards, and, at long last, experienced the joy of a premiership alongside the whole Roar Deal family.

Hosted by afl.com.au’s Michael Whiting & KIIS FM’s Dom Fay, the Roar Deal is the officially unofficial podcast home of all things Brisbane Lions.

With new episodes weekly, the podcast covers all things Lions – from the on-field to the off-field, the inner-sanctum to the Gabba stands, and the stories of years gone by to all that lies ahead.
