About the Show

Dylan touches on career and life highs and lows, taps into mindset and psyche and ultimately uncovers what makes his guests happy and successful. Guest episodes can be broadly categorised into three pillars of passion for Dylan, which are sport, mental health and business. Notable guests include; AFL coach Damien Hardwick, AFL CEO Andrew Dillon, broadcaster Gerard Whateley, performance coach Emma Murray, personality Ellidy Pullin and entrepreneur Sam Wood. 

Listeners can also get their footy fix via Footy and Friends, which airs twice weekly during the AFL season, and Dylan is joined by former teammate Brett Deledio and former opponent Mick Barlow. 

The weekly Mini episodes give the community a behind-the-scenes look into Dyl's life including the mechanics of the Producey/Clubby Sports business.

Meet the Host

Dylan Buckley is a former AFL footballer who played 41 games (plus many more in the twos and a couple in the twos twos) for Carlton and GWS Giants across nine seasons. Knowing the end of his football career was approaching, Dylan went in search of something away from the game that gave him professional purpose and the Dyl & Friends podcast was born. Dylan launched Producey, his latest venture in 2022. Away from Producey and other media commitments, you’ll find Dylan enjoying time with his wife, son Max and his dog Frankie (French Bulldog) in the inner northern suburbs of Melbourne where they live or out on the golf course crunching pinnacles.

What's to Love?

Dyl and Friends has established itself as one of the most successful Australian made podcasts in the country, and among the top handful in the sport category. There’s something for everyone in Dyl and Friends given the variety in the guests and the scope of the conversations. Most of all, it’s honest, raw and Dyl asks all the questions you may be scared to. 

"I was recommended this pod by a mate and I was instantly hooked. Feels like I’m in the room with Dyl and his guest on every ep. I genuinely laugh…and on occasion cry with the pod too. Well done Dyl - keep it up!"
