Dyl & Friends
Dylan invites interesting and notable guests to share their stories in a humorous and lighthearted chat, with plenty of banter mixed in as well. It’s like a hug from an old mate, it’s incredibly warm, positive, and comforting. He touches on career and life highs and lows, taps into mindset and psyche and ultimately uncovers what makes his guests happy and successful. You don’t need to know the guests before listening, Dyl will have you thinking they’re your best mates when the 60 or so minutes is up. *Description provided by Dylan Buckley's mum.

From his successful career with the Western Bulldogs to becoming a key figure in the media landscape, Darc has done it all. We chat about his journey through footy, the highs, the injuries, and what it meant to wear the red, white and blue.

We've started a Media Feud! Round 8 Review | Footy & Friends
Yesssss we're back to review another action packed weekend of footy!
We went in a few different directions in this episode — including Dyl's new friendship with his neighbour Doug. Mick found plenty of positives in North's narrow loss on Thursday and, for some reason, continued to discuss edging. Meanwhile, Brett was full of praise for a couple of veterans on Saturday night.

Billy Gowers: AFL, VFL, Barber, Kabaddi, NFL Punter!? | #281
This week on Dyl & Friends we have my good friend Billy Gowers.
From school footy to being drafted by Carlton, leading the Western Bulldogs in goals, getting delisted (twice), then flipping the script entirely — Billy’s story is anything but typical.
Billy has signed to play college football for the University of Hawaii, chasing a dream to play in the NFL. We chat about how the opportunity came about, the mindset it’s taken to jump into something completely new, and the excitement (and chaos) of starting fresh on the other side of the world.

Bobby Hill: Resilience, A Norm Smith & Finding Home at the Pies | #280
Yessss fam welcome back to Dyl & Friends.
Today I'm joined by one of the most exciting players in the game — Collingwood premiership star and Norm Smith medallist, Bobby Hill.
From growing up in Northam, WA, to making the big move east with the Giants, Bobby’s journey hasn’t been all smooth sailing. We dive into his early days, the challenges he faced — including his courageous battle with testicular cancer — and how he found a fresh start and a flag at the Pies.
Bobby’s story is one of resilience, growth, and pure talent. We chat about everything from Grand Final week memories to life off the field.
An absolute legend with a ripping story — hope you enjoy this one as much as I did ily xx
