MaateCast
The Maates get together to have a laugh, learn more, and discuss life, their interests and so much more. Some weeks they will have a fellow Maate joining them to bring something new to the cozy corner of the MaateCast. Whether that is their Religious Views, Mental Health Discoveries, Amazing Life Achievements, Random shower thoughts, or even just more comedic relief, The MaateCast holds it all. So come listen and join these two Maates on their journey to chat, learn and have a good time... and maybe become a Maate yourself ;). It’s More than a Mate. Friday @ 4:00pm AEST we’re podcasting with, and as, Maates to hopefully show a little more insight into the lifestyle of one.

Another fortnight in the cozy corner of the MaateCast!

You read it right, The Maates are splitting up… physically. Yeah sorry for the bit of clickbait. And while we’re apologising, sorry for the second or two of blurry quality. Anyways, MILLAR HAS MOVED OUT, HE FINALLY TALKS ABOUT HIS RELIGION, and CHRIS CRIED AT CHURCH. What more could you want from a Maatecast Episode.

What a DOOZY!
Episode 22 brings a special guest to the corner of the MaateCast - Mr Hudsen Sheriff. He's a man of deep faith, with a love for people, hailing from the depths of America, he's come to Australia just for this episode (not really, the boys have known him for years cause they went to school together) !!
If you want the Faith Talk, skip to the second half ;)
Hope you enjoy!

YES, you read correctly, Christian is engaged and soon to be married, and YES, the boys ran a half-marathon on impulse with no training. This episode is jam-packed with everything that certifies a MaateCast CLASSIC EPISODE.
Enjoy ;)

BRAND NEW SEASON OF THE MAATECAST! That's right ladies and gentlemen, the boys are back and better then ever. Starting the year off, Chris and Mills feel like Maatecast needed to be a higher priority, and with that, comes consistency and a visual upgrade; which can be seen in the snazzy new profile picture, the new logo, the interludes, and much more.
The maates want to reintroducce you to the MaateCast for a short first episode back talking about what is to come!
We hope you enjoy!

THE MAATES ARE BACK AGAIN, this time in a never before seen location - THE AMAZON FOREST (sounds cooler than our local creek)!!
This episode is extremely special, not just for that reason, but also because the boys come in with some HEAT — topic wise — talking in depth about their current religious beliefs, and also the importance of being a MAN in and out of relationships. The boys look to impart their wisdom from the last few years of learning into the younger generation of viewers.
We truly hope you enjoy :)

Another day, another Maatecast Episode… but not really cause it’s been SIX MONTHS since the last ep!
What are the boys doing!? Well, they’ll let you know in this latest instalment of the podcast. Some things include; A trip to Bali, Smoking cigars, grinding the maates content, but also just not having much to say. The boys wouldn’t want to waste your time!

The Maates are BACK!! Yes... it's been a little while but the maatecast will never die. Having said that, what do the boys talk about in the 17th Episode of the Maatecast?
Well, they obviously give an update on life and the things have been happening in their lives lately, which includes a potential TV show, less hours at work, learning discipline, Stoicism discussion, STREAMING, as well as visiting Philippines and, with that, a bunch of super real and deep thoughts. ALL that and more.
We truly hope you enjoy :)

Episode 16 of the Maatecast might be the best one yet... unfortunately though, that was sarcasm. Nonetheless, the boys chat about their experience with their first celebrity guest, Steve Weatherford, they give an update on the maates and maatecast, revealing their first sponsorship and how that made them feel, as well as revealing a massive idea they've got for every Saturday. All of this done in a disorderly fashion of the. top of the dome.
We hope you enjoy chillin' with The Maates :)
