Presenters

  • Host: DT

    DT is a passionate fan of both Food and Football, having first discovered the sport as a bored child during the summer holidays. On Monday’s during the season (time zones… am I right?) you will often find her screaming at the TV both with joy and disappointment when her team loses…or exits the playoffs for another year running. Hopefully this will be the year! You can’t have football without food so it only makes sense to combine the two into an entertaining episode of Darran and I trying to cook and agree on whose team is better… mine of course. So join us on Third and Footlong to discuss all things football, food and other because who doesn’t love a tangent? 

  • Host: Darran

    British born and New Zealand based comedian, quiz host, MC and improv performer, Darran won the Carnival Cruise Open Mic competition in 2015, and has been shortlisted for Outstanding Contribution to the Industry at the 2023 NZ Comedy Guild Awards.

Darran is a huge NFL and College Football fan and been following the NFL since 1983 and likes the odd sandwich.
