This is one of the most extraordinary comeback stories ever told on The Howie Games.
Olympic silver medallist Scott Miller opens up like never before, taking us from the heights of standing on the podium for Australia in Atlanta to the depths of addiction, prison and a life he says was spiralling towards death.
In a confronting and deeply honest conversation, Scott reveals the surreal moment armed police arrested him with a gun pointed at his head, and why, despite everything, his overwhelming emotion was relief.
He reflects on the silver medal that took 25 years to truly appreciate, the pressure and perfectionism that defined his swimming career, and why he couldn’t even watch the Olympics for decades after retiring.
He also shares the unseen challenges of rebuilding after three years in jail. It’s a raw, emotional and ultimately hopeful conversation about redemption, perspective and finding purpose after losing everything.
Don’t miss the compelling two-part ABC iview documentary charting Scott’s dramatic rise, devastating fall and ongoing fight to rebuild his life.

A global footballer, a leader, and unapologetically himself. Vice-captain of Australia, and yes… the coolest Socceroo there is. Beneath the style is a story built on dedication, sacrifice, and an unshakeable belief in the dream.
From kicking a ball around Rowville, to packing his life at 16 and heading to Scotland with no guarantees, this is a journey of pure intent. Irvine opens up on the mindset that carried him from suburban Melbourne to Europe, the brutal realities of professional football, and the moments that tested everything, including turning down generational money, the loneliness of lockdown training in a park, and fighting his way back when the game almost slipped away.
There’s stories from Celtic to St. Pauli, from Hamburg streets to the World Cup. From local footy nostalgia to standing across from greatness like Lionel Messi. It’s about ownership. It’s about resilience. And it’s about building a life bigger than the game itself, through culture, community, and connection.
For the next generation, this one hits deep, what you can control, what you can’t, and how consistency, effort, and self-belief stack up over time.
This special episode of The Howie Games, powered by Powerade, is all about fuelling your journey, on and off the field. Because as Jacko shows, greatness isn’t given, it’s built.

The Howie Games presents a special new series.
Pendlebury Diaries is built from personal, real time voice notes exchanged between Scott Pendlebury and Mark Howard, tracking the weeks and months leading into his record-breaking AFL game.

There’s honest insight into contract talks, the grind of pre-season, injury setbacks, watching helplessly from home, and the mindset that has driven one of the game’s greatest careers. Raw, reflective and relentlessly driven, this is the setup to the record chase.

An honest, straight-up travel diary through South Africa and the wild landscapes of Namibia, packed with stories, lessons, travel hacks, and a few hard-earned mistakes along the way. From planning the trip to navigating a place of real consequence, it’s all laid bare.
How to fly, where to stay, what to see... with some VERY special guests, this one’s as personal as it gets... and at its core, it’s about inspiring you to get out there and try something a little different.
Let me know what you think!
Peace and love, and happy and safe travels!

The former Socceroos coach walked into the unknown… and emerged a national hero in Iraq. The details behind this extraordinary World Cup qualifying journey will take your breath away.
If you haven't, take a listen to Arnie’s full story back on Episode 221, the grit, the setbacks, the relentless belief. But what has unfolded since is something else entirely.
At the helm of Iraq national football team, Arnold has guided a nation of 46 million people to their first World Cup appearance in 40-years. It’s been a journey that’s had everything: chaos, courage, pressure, pride… and moments that were as frightening as they were inspiring.
This is the story of the Lions of Mesopotamia rising again. Now, it's time for the group of excitement at the World Cup.
This story already sits among the most extraordinary in world sport, and Graham Arnold isn't done yet!

A story of dreams, nightmares, anguish and redemption...
Koby Stevens played 91 AFL games spanning the West Coast Eagles, Western Bulldogs and St Kilda... his career came to a premature end after a 15th concussion.
The way he details the moment his childhood dreams were ripped from him, and the fear of an invisible injury for a professional athlete is admirable, inspiring and bloody scary, all in one.
His drive to re-find his own purpose, uncover his brain injury, commit to his rehabilitation and recovery is as moving as anything we have heard on the show. Not to mention his passion of story telling and film making...
This story will change and save lives. You don't always need a Premiership or a Gold Medal to show how powerful you are.
Thanks Kobe.

He really has experienced it all in footy. A two-time premiership player, a premiership coach, even a wooden spoon… and now a man watching it all unfold from the commentary box.
Simmo really has lived every layer of the game. Simmo opens up on the brutal reality of being sacked, when the noise gets loud, the pressure turns personal, and even your own kids are asking, “how haven’t you got the sack yet?”.
But this episode isn’t just about those BIG moments, it’s full of gold. From the legendary $10K Mad Monday cash splash after the 2018 flag, to the coaching mistakes that shaped him, and the lessons every aspiring AFL coach needs to hear. There’s the Shinboner spirit of the 90s, wild stories of a different era, and deep reflections on legacy, leadership, and what success really means when it’s all said and done. It’s candid, funny, and incredibly insightful, the full journey of a man who’s truly seen it all.
It’s honest but packed with perspective (and wit!). From leading at the top to fighting through the bottom, and the powerful life lessons that come with both.

History-maker. Trailblazer. And bloody tough!
This one goes far beyond that unforgettable Melbourne Cup winning ride back in 2015.
Yes, we relive the moment that stopped a nation, from the ride, the roar, the words that echoed around the world. And of course Stevie and the relationship she has with her brother. But this is the Michelle you don’t always see or hear.
A decade on from her historic win, she opens up on the whirlwind that followed: the pressure, the expectations, and then yet another near death experience.
From growing up in a racing family to navigating fame, loss, and everything in between, this is a story about grit, perspective, and staying true to yourself when the world is watching.
There’s heartbreak, there’s humour, and there’s a whole lot of honesty. And it’s one you won’t forget.
Go and buy Michelle's new book, Ride On TODAY!

Ten years. Thousands of stories. And a whole lot of footy magic.
Incase you have missed anything across the years, Howie has taken a moment to remember some of the AFL players and the stories that have defined The Howie Games across a decade.
From the electrifying brilliance of Cyril Rioli in episode 54, the ultimate “bums on seats” player, and the raw, deeply personal reasons behind his shock mid-season retirement… to the elite mindset of Chris Judd in episode 32 unpacking what it really takes to be the best.
We rewind all the way back to Episode 3! BIG Fev opens up like never before with his highs, the struggles, and the honesty that stopped listeners in their tracks.
Then into the modern era with Kane Cornes episode 218, one of the most influential voices in the game, in a chat where absolutely nothing was off limits.
And finally… a full circle moment. Leigh “Lethal” Matthews. Episode 248. A childhood hero. A legend of the game. And one of the great conversations in Howie Games history.
Catch up on the full episodes!
Episode 56 - Cyril Rioli
Episode 32 - Chris Judd
Episode 3 - Brendan Fevola
Episode 218 - Kane Cornes
Episode 241 - Leigh Matthews

When Matt stepped up for his final dive in the Beijing Olympics from the 10 metre platform, he’d already lived it a thousand times in his mind. What followed was Olympic history, but as Mitcham shares, that gold medal has many layers to it.
This Australian legend opens up on the journey behind the moment, from a childhood (and diving career) shaped by chance, to the highs of global success and the challenges that followed.
It’s honest, vulnerable, and at times confronting. A story of determination, resilience, and what it truly takes to reach, and navigate, the top.
Matty is an absolute beauty.
Please note: This episode discusses sensitive topics. We encourage listeners to tune in thoughtfully and take care while listening.

We move beyond the traditional player story (you can also catch him in episode 73), Vaughany reflects on leadership, resilience, health, and the personal experiences that have shaped his life after cricket. He delivers a sharp take on the Ashes, discusses professionalism, team culture, and why England’s future may be closer than many think.
There is clear affection when he speaks about Australia, but the episode also explores very serious moments.
Honest, measured, and insightful, this is Vaughany at his most reflective. And we love him for it.

One of The Howie Games favourites. Our adopted Pom... he is always full of wit, insight and experience. And this is no different.
Vaughany first joined us back in July 2019 (Episode 79)… and back then, we didn’t even get to a Player Profile.
So before the next chapter with Michael Vaughan, here’s your chance to get to know the man a little better... and enjoy a few laughs along the way.

A fearless Australian who dared to dream big, and fly even higher!
Alisa Camplin's journey to Olympic Gold is as equally beautiful as the moment she saw her name flash up as an Olympic Champion... in full, it's almost unbelievable. And she tells it brilliantly.
From the young girl whose Olympic dream became an all-consuming pursuit, to the brutal reality of aerial skiing, which really is one of the most fearless and physically punishing sports on the planet, Alisa opens up on the risks, the injuries, and the relentless drive required to reach the top.
We rewind to Salt Lake City, 2002. The playlist in her ears, the nerves building, and the world suddenly very quiet as she stands at the top before her gold medal jump. What follows is a breathtaking, step-by-step retelling of the flight, the landing… and the surreal moment she realised she was an Olympic champion.
Raw, reflective, and deeply inspiring, this is a story of courage, resilience, and rising when it matters most.
Alisa is the Chef de Mission of Australia’s Winter Olympic team competing from February 6–22! It's a once-in-a-generation squad blending five recent medallists with exciting teenage talent. Leading with a focus on camaraderie, Alisa is determined to help every athlete, from podium hopes to debutants, perform at their very best.
Come on you Aussies!

A winter sporting trailblazer! Alisa is an Olympic gold medallist and current Chef de Mission for Australia’s Winter Olympic team, leading the next generation on the world’s biggest stage.
Her full story shows why she is one of the toughest, most resilient guests we have ever featured on the Howie Games. But first, we have some fun as we discover a self-confessed science nerd who loves history, and can knock out a mean Excel spreadsheet — or serve ice cream with equal confidence. Plus, her love for Collingwood.
Alisa is Chef de Mission of Australia’s Winter Olympic team, which takes on the world from Feburary 6 to Feburary 22. It is a once-in-a-generation mix of experience and youth, with five recent Olympic medallists, exciting teenage talent, and 26 World Cup medals this season showing we belong on the world stage. As Chef de Mission, Alisa Camplin will be building camaraderie and focusing on helping every athlete — from medal contenders to first-timers — deliver their best performance.

From cross-country carnivals to the Olympic podium in Paris, Jess Hull’s rise is one of Australian sport’s great stories.
This one is a powerful conversation as Jess reflects on the years of unseen work that took her from school athletics to becoming an Olympic silver medallist and one of the fastest women in history.
From Wollongong to breaking Oceanian records, NCAA success at Oregon, the pressure of the world stage, and what it takes to keep pushing the limits of her performance. It's a career built on belief and discipline.
But beyond the medals, this is about mindset, resilience, nutrition, recovery and staying grounded while chasing greatness.
She is an Aussie legend already, and she is destined for even bigger things.

Four absolute pillars of Australian cricket! The skipper Pat Cummins, the second-highest wicket-taker in Australian Test history Nathan Lyon, and the fast-bowling enforcers Mitch Starc and Josh Hazlewood.
More than 1,500 Test wickets between them, countless Ashes stories, and a bond forged through years of shared spells, shared planes and shared pressure.
We hear from the four great mates like never before. From first memories of each other, Ashes moments, and the stats that actually matter inside the change rooms.
It’s relaxed, honest and full of laughs. Plenty of banter, plenty of insight, and a rare look behind the curtain at the group that led Australia’s Ashes defence.
An early Christmas present for Howie Games listeners and cricket tragics alike.

"If you see something, do something."
In one of the most powerful and heartfelt conversations we’ve ever shared on The Howie Games, AFL great and friend Brad Johnson opens up about his recent battle with cancer, not for sympathy, but in the hope that his story can help others navigate their own tough moments, or support loved ones walking that path.
Johno is one of those rare people who genuinely lifts the room the moment he walks in. His energy, his warmth, his positivity are all infectious. But this year, he was forced into a fight he never saw coming.
For the first time - with the aim of helping others - he speaks openly about the fear, the uncertainty and the lessons learned along the way. And he offers three simple but vital guiding principles that carried him through.
This is a conversation about vulnerability and strength… and about the power of positivity in the face of adversity.
Whether you or someone you love is facing a health battle, or you simply need a reminder of what really matters, this special episode with Brad Johnson is one you won’t forget.

After 100 days of build-up, planning, sacrifice and anticipation… it’s finally here. The Ashes.
Mitch Starc and Alex Carey take you straight to Perth and inside Game Day like never before. From the restless night before, to the moment to the first ball, to the quiet recovery after a bruising Day 1, this is the unfiltered mindset and minute-by-minute rhythm of two professionals living one of the biggest days in recent Australian cricket.
And then comes that fast bowling. Mitch Starc unleashes one of the most devastating fast-bowling performances in recent memory. It was a display that will sit proudly in Ashes folklore for years to come. Beside him every step of the way is Alex Carey, providing the calm, sharp, steady presence that helps drive Australia’s perfect start to the series.
It’s raw. It’s revealing. It’s everything we love about sport, pressure, preparation, passion, delivered with unparalleled access.
And to conclude the series, another huge thanks to Kez and Starcy for opening the doors and bringing us along for the ride.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Ashes are here… and Mitch and Alex take us into the final countdown, and take you right inside the inner sanctum as the Aussie boys switch fully into game mode.
Starcy fires things up from the boarding lounge in Sydney before taking us all the way across the country to Perth, where the final week of prep unfolds. Both boys walk us through everything that matters in the countdown to the first ball: the meetings, the match intel, the fine-tuning at training and even the go-to room-service orders once they hit hotel life.
There’s insight into how Australia plans to attack England, what they’re seeing in the Perth Stadium wicket, and just how much spice might be hiding in that surface. The lads share what they’ve noticed, how they’ll play it, and what’s going into the tactical blueprint.
There’s team news. There’s tension. And then there’s Howie jumping on a plane to head west to join the Fox Cricket and Triple M call teams, where even the hotel check-in is humming with Ashes energy.
The prep is done. The hype is fever pitch. Now… it’s time for action.

The Aussie Ashes squad is in and the countdown is well and truly on. We dive into one of the great unspoken pillars of elite sport: feedback, and how the best in the world learn to live with it.
Across early-morning entries, late-night reflections and a couple of classic check-ins, Mitch Starc and Alex Carey take us inside the mental side of cricket at the absolute highest level.
Mitch opens up about the flood of external attention and how he’s learned over his journey to sort the white noise from the gold. From the best feedback he’s ever received, to the lessons that have shaped a decade of international cricket, Mitch is honest, raw and razor sharp.
Then it’s Alex Carey’s turn. Kez walks us through the aftermath of that Bairstow moment, the noise that followed, and the feedback that mattered most. He shares how he processed it all.
And just when you think the boys are cruising toward Ashes camp… chaos. Mitch takes us into a crucial Sheffield Shield hit-out - a key milestone in his final prep - only for the match to unravel with hamstring injuries to Josh Hazlewood and Sean Abbott. It’s the full reality of elite cricket one week out from the biggest series on earth.
Lock in. The final countdown is on. And we are in seat 1A!

In elite sport, every number tells a story — and in this episode, we dive deep into the digits behind the Australian cricket team’s Ashes campaign.
From GPS trackers to gym stats, Mitch Starc reveals the staggering distances covered by a fast bowler and the strength needed to keep his body firing at 35. Alex Carey takes us behind the stumps for a day in the field — covering 15km on his feet, with explosive bursts and endless squats to stay sharp for every delivery.
Then, a huge moment — Starc drops a major announcement, opening up about the emotional phone call to coach Andrew McDonald as he retires from T20 international cricket. It’s raw, honest, modest and quintessentially Mitch.
Plus, a little footy chat as finals fever takes hold — Alex’s Crows take on the Magpies, while Mitch’s Hawks are set to clash with Howie’s boys.

Before the Ashes roar to life, the real battles — of mind, body and preparation — are already underway.
We dive into the never heard before prep that keeps Australia’s stars sharp and grounded. Alex Carey opens up on the mental side of elite cricket — the mantras, mindfulness, and mindset that help him reset and perform under pressure. From Ben Crowe’s wisdom to his own evolving self-talk, Carey’s reflections are as raw as they are relatable.
Meanwhile, Mitch Starc begins the long road back to the Ashes — through intense medical appointments, rehab, and a mini pre-season grind. It’s an intimate look at the pain, the persistence, and the passion driving one of the game’s great fast bowlers.
Mind and body. Reflection and recovery. Episode 2 peels back the layers of what it really takes to stay in the fight — mentally and physically — on the path to Ashes glory.

Adam Zampa is one of Australia’s most interesting — and interested — cricketers. He does things his own way. Zamps stands out both on and off the field.
Across a remarkable career - that is still right in the thick of things - Zampa has become one of Australia’s greatest-ever white ball leg-spinners — a two-time World Cup winner, and one of only a handful of players to take over 150 ODI wickets and more than 80 in T20 internationals. His consistency, control and competitive edge have made him a cornerstone of Australia’s white ball dominance.
In this episode, Howie dives deep with the demands of international cricket, the craft of spin, the mental grind of elite cricket, life away from the game, and what drives him to keep evolving.
It’s the story of a modern-day Aussie original, written entirely in his own style.

Across a remarkable career - that is still right in the thick of things - Zampa has become one of Australia’s greatest-ever white ball leg-spinners — a two-time World Cup winner, and one of only a handful of players to take over 150 ODI wickets and more than 80 in T20 internationals. His consistency, control and competitive edge have made him a cornerstone of Australia’s white ball dominance.
In this episode, Howie dives deep with the demands of international cricket, the craft of spin, the mental grind of elite cricket, life away from the game, and what drives him to keep evolving.
It’s the story of a modern-day Aussie original, written entirely in his own style.

This is the story of one of Australia’s most electrifying athletes — and a man who has lived through moments of both triumph and heartbreak that transcend sport.
Cameron Munster takes us inside the harrowing day he learned of his father’s passing, right in the middle of the most important State of Origin preparation of his life. From the couch as a kid — pizza in hand, wide-eyed as the mighty Queensland Maroons went to war — to carving out his own unforgettable Origin moments on the biggest stage of all, Munster’s journey is raw, inspiring and deeply human.
We dive into the highs of Premiership glory with the Melbourne Storm, and the crushing lows of defeat on the final day. We explore the famed Storm culture, the uncompromising influence of Craig Bellamy, and how those around him have shaped Munster not just into a brilliant footballer, but into a bigger, better person.
This is more than rugby league. It’s about resilience, redemption and what it takes to rise when life throws its toughest challenges your way.

From the paddocks of Warrnambool to the bright lights of the AFL, Jonathan Brown’s story is pure sporting gold.

The pressure cooker is heating up in Columbus. And we are living inside the obsession with Joe as we countdown to game day. Every kick. Every scrimmage. Every moment counts.
The Buckeyes have made the call on their quarterback, Julian Sayin. But for Joe, and the battle for the number one punting role, the wait continues. Stress builds. Doubts creep in. Obsession takes hold. Six punts at training can feel like six sliding doors moments. It is do or die.
In this bonus, behind-the-scenes episode, Joe reveals what life is like on the edge of the decision. From clearing his head on a world-class golf course, to navigating the delicate relationship with his teammate and rival Nick, to the perks of being a Buckeye—custom Beats headphones and all.
Episode 8 takes us right inside the tension of Fall Camp—where every boot, every bounce, and every conversation matters. The punt. The pressure. The unknown. The dream.

From backyard banter to books, podcasts, live shows and a cult-like following, these two have built something far bigger than either could have imagined. It’s comedy, it’s commentary, it’s insight, it’s quality banter… and it’s genius.
You’ll hear how it all started, what keeps the show running, and how two very sharp, articulate and deeply passionate cricket tragics found themselves at the centre of the cricket universe.
We've got more cricket lists than the ICC is ready for. Oh – and plenty of outrageous Grade cricket tales thrown in for good measure.
This was seriously fun!

Balancing the demands of big-time college football… and big-time study. Joe takes us inside University Life, Scholarships, GPA's and living arrangements for College footballers.
It's not just about training, lectures and learning – it’s about player welfare too. Joe gives us a raw insight into the seriousness of concussion protocols, the importance of custom-fitted helmets, and how the program at Ohio State is leaving nothing to chance when it comes to the treatment of it's players.
Plus, a kicking session with NFL punter Cam Johnston. It’s a moment. A test. And a glimpse of what might be to come.
Training intensifies. Competition ramps up. And Joe is bagging a few wins at training competitions as he starts to carve out his place in one of the biggest sporting programs on the planet.
It’s education, it’s elite sport, and it’s all getting very, very real.

We’re taking you way back to 2009 and 2015, to special (and fun) conversations recorded with the legendary Hulk Hogan – long before The Howie Games even existed.
With the sad news of Hulk’s passing, we wanted to share this as a small tribute to a man who left an indelible mark on sport and entertainment.
In the longer conversation, Hulk reflects on the glory days of wrestling, the injuries, the razor blades, Vince McMahon, Rocky III, and the journey from $15 pay cheques to becoming one of the most recognisable faces on the planet.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the millions around the world who grew up watching Hulkamania run wild.
Rest in peace, brotherrrr.

Time to meet the men behind the madness. The voices behind The Grade Cricketer, Ian Higgins and Sam Perry.
What started as a rogue tweet is now a full-blown sporting and cultural phenomenon. Podcasts, books, live shows, viral content … these two have built a beast.
In this Player Profile, ahead of the full backstory, we start with some banter. In the full episode, past lives are revealed, content kingship is dissected, and the absurdities of Grade cricket (and life) are laid bare, plus, some cricket lists that could shatter the ICC rankings system
These blokes are more than just banter – they’re two of the most interesting, articulate, and switched-on minds in the game today.
Before we dive into a full-length innings with the lads, have a laugh with Ian and Sam.

We dive headfirst into the billion dollar business of college football.
Our man on the ground, Aussie punter Joe McGuire, peels back the curtain on the machine that is the Ohio State Buckeyes football program. And just like his old man, Joe’s storytelling is full of colour, detail and personality.
We meet his teammates. We hear from the passionate voices around the program. And we go behind the scenes with the Buckeyes’ media team, giving us an exclusive window into the scale, pride and polish of one of the most iconic sporting institutions in the world. Plus, a legendary voice joins the fray – Paul Keels, the voice of the Buckeyes, brings the full weight of Ohio State tradition and emotion to the series for the very first time.
We explore the business behind it all – from stadium sellouts to media deals – and ask the big question: how many of these young athletes actually make it to the NFL?
With draft dreams in the air, and the pressure building, Episode 3 is about big hopes, big money, and big-time college football.

A leg spinning wizard. A man of immense talent. But his journey has ups on the field, and downs off it. This chat isn’t easy. At times, it’s emotional. But it’s honest. It’s the story of a man who’s made mistakes, owned them, and is finding his way forward.
This is the first time Stuart has shared his story in full — the parts you know, and the parts you don’t. It's powerful. It’s raw. It’s deeply human. This episode of The Howie Games is one that truly matters.
A great cricketer. He’s a brilliantly minded coach. A charismatic storyteller. A deep thinker. A person who’s been through it all and still shows up with generosity and warmth.
Due to legal sensitivities, some of what was said couldn’t be included — for now. But what remains is a story that will stay with you.
So here it is — Episode 243, Stuart MacGill. A mercurial talent, and a unique journey.

You might think you know the story of Stuart MacGill. But trust me… you don’t.
Before we get to the deep stuff, the heavy stuff, the incredible and at times confronting stuff – first, we laugh. Because he is one of the great characters. He’s sharp, he’s funny, and his stories are as unique as his bowling action.
What follows this, is raw, real and honest. A life full of highs and incredible challenges. This is a man who lived a dream and then endured a nightmare. It’s emotional. It’s powerful. It’s special.
For me personally, it’s a privilege to share Stuart’s story.
This one means a lot.

He is one of the most influential figures in Australian sport — and his story is as powerful as the way he played.
From a teenager bursting onto the scene at Hawthorn to becoming one of the most feared and respected players the game has ever seen, Leigh’s career is stacked with extraordinary moments. Four premierships as a player. Over 900 goals. A reputation as one of the toughest competitors to ever pull on a guernsey. But that’s just the beginning.
Leigh takes us inside his incredible journey — how he got his start, the mindset that fuelled his legendary career, his transition to coaching, and the honest reflections that have made him one of the game's great storytellers.
Whether it’s breaking a point post in half, leading Collingwood to drought-breaking glory, masterminding the Brisbane Lions’ famous three-peat, or analysing the modern game, Leigh shares it all with sharp detail, raw honesty, and a brilliant sense of humour.

One of our great Australian characters in full flight!
From delivering pizzas in a 1971 Datsun to making double tons, Jason Gillespie has done it all—and then some. Dizzy opens up on that iconic nickname, his current obsession with pan-fried veggie dumplings, and his love of old-school wrestling and Bernard Fanning.
He shares wisdom from his late father, pays tribute to Malcolm Marshall, and lets us in on jaw-dropping moments with Hugh Jackman inside the Lord’s changerooms. Plus: the hardest batters he bowled to, the bowlers who made him sweat, plus, a nice plug for that unforgettable double century.

He had a dream. And is living it.
Matt Hill is the voice behind some of the best moments in Australian sport. He is already a broadcasting icon. But, he is an even better bloke. And he explains the dream he is living, brilliantly.
From calling races around the hallways as a kid, to voicing the Melbourne Cup, Olympics and footy and plenty more sports (wait until you hear the list!). Matt Hill is the dream chaser who never gave up — even when he was on the dole or facing a life-threatening health scare at the Beijing Games.
This is a powerful story of grit, passion, and pure love for sport. A master of the mic… who’s still just a fan at heart.
Thanks Matty! See you Thursday Night on Fox Footy!

Recorded on August 6, 2016, at 6:24PM in the West Indies, this chat with Mike Haysman was meant to be one of the first-ever episodes… until Howie forgot to label the files.
They were lost. And now they are found. And some stories are too good to stay buried. Before he became one of cricket’s most respected broadcasters, Haysy was a cricketer tipped to be the next big thing in Australian cricket, a man who received handwritten notes from Sir Donald Bradman, took part in the infamous rebel tour of South Africa, and once called a match with $20 million riding on it.
This episode takes you back to Howie’s first international commentary gig, where Mike Haysman took him under his wing before they sat down for this very conversation.
So, off we go to Saint Kitts in the West Indies—where the rum was ready, the stories are golden, and the lost files finally see the light of day.

A determination to follow dreams and break convention. A relationship based teacher, turned Premiership coach. It truly is an inspiring, and motivating story - with a few ups and downs along the way.
But, the journey to get there is what makes it special. And the story teller and chief energy officer doesn't miss a detail.

It all leads to this. The grind. The sacrifice. The hill sprints. The saunas and the ice baths. The relentless pursuit of greatness.
Pendles takes us behind the curtain as the pre-season journey transforms into game day reality. Inside the team meetings, through the nerves, and into the pages of his game day diary—20 years in the making. From a pre-season hit-out against Richmond to the real deal: Opening Round against the GWS Giants.
The final preparations for game day. The airport. Waking up in Sydney. Finding the coffee shop for the team. The nerves from the hotel room. The smells and feelings of the match itself. And even the car ride home.
The pre-season is officially done. Now, the marathon is underway.
Thanks Pendles.

The mind games. The pressure. The expectations—external and internal. The mentality. It's another key part to twenty seasons at the top.
Pendles opens up on his mental blueprint: from setting a simple goal of playing ten games in year one to breaking superstitions along the way. He reveals how he’s handled the media and social media noise across his career.
Plus, a pre-season trip to the Gold Coast for match simulation as the season creeps closer.
This is next-level insight from a generational great.

A deep dive into one of the secret weapons of longevity—sleep. Or in this case, the brutal reality of not getting enough.
Pendles is wrecked. One of the hardest sessions yet. Neck is sore. Feet hurt. Sleep? Non-existent. But this is why you push. This is why you harden your body in pre-season—to survive 25 weeks of AFL warfare.
So, what’s next? Walk it off. Hit the sauna. Hot and colds. Family time. Then onto the bike… and what happens next might just surprise you.
Plus, an elite breakdown of what fuels a champion. The nutrition, the tweaks, the sacrifices. The reason he’s still here after 20 years.
Pendlebury: Beyond 400—no shortcuts, no secrets. Just the work.

Here comes the pain of pre-season. A sore knee that won’t quit. Hard training when the body says no.
The cameras see the athlete. The crowd sees the champion. But what about the dad, the husband and the mate?
Pendles takes the kids to work, offering a rare glimpse into the balance between footy and family at Collingwood. Meanwhile, Howie flips the script—turning to Alex, Pendles' wife, for the real story on sacrifice, commitment, and the emotional toll of 20 years at the top.
Grinding through pain. Soaking up family time. This is the other side of the game like you might not have never heard.

Hear from Mick Malthouse, Nathan Buckley and Craig McRae as they help take us inside Scott Pendlebury's twenty year pursuit.
From Mick Malthouse’s old-school grit to Nathan Buckley’s tactical precision to Craig McRae’s modern approach—Scott Pendlebury has lived through a change in the pre-season approach. He takes us on a journey behind the science, the strategy and the sheer brutality of AFL pre-seasons.
High-altitude camps that pushed bodies to the edge. The shifting demands of the game. The way preparation has transformed—and the toll it still takes.
This episode isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a front-row seat to two decades of relentless evolution, told by the men who have watched it all.
20-years. Three coaches. A game that has never stopped evolving.

Christmas isn’t an off-season—it’s just another checkpoint in the pursuit of greatness.
Pendles takes us inside the mental game. The lessons from Paul Licuria. The art of pushing yourself beyond comfort. Learning to enjoy the hurt. Plus his Christmas discipline.
And, one last brutal leg session at 6AM before heading to Bali with the family. A run in the heat on arrival.
The break - if you even call it that - is short-lived. A bout of Bali belly on return, and the focus sharpens—dialling in on nutrition, training, and even watching Fox Footy in the background, feeling the season closing in.
Time to lock in.

It’s Saturday morning, and the grind doesn’t stop. It's professional athlete insights like you have never heard before. 10K on the trails, lungs burning, legs heavy—then straight into hill sprints. The body’s screaming, fighting back the saliva, but Pendles pushes through. No shortcuts, no excuses.
Then? Flip the schedule. Straight from elite-level training to coaching the under-9s. Remember that basketball background? Then, we dive deep into the flow of match play, tackling drills, and the arrival of Perryman at the Pies.
Plus, a rare glimpse into the human side of the grind—shuffling sessions to make the kids Christmas concert, wrapping up the school year with family. And then there’s the Christmas present nobody asked for: The fitness staff’s gift—a monster session designed to break even the fittest.
Plus, ice baths, saunas, and survival mode.
This is the reality of defying time in the AFL.

Welcome to a new kind of sport storytelling. Scott Pendlebury’s pre-season diary.
The journey begins for a 20th year, and the insights will blow your mind. Pendlebury: Beyond 400 isn’t just about footy—it’s about what it takes to keep pushing when most would tap out.
The mini series, brought to you by the Howie Games, starts with Pendles’ return to work butterfly’s before the grind begins. First touches, first steps into year 20—yet still, the nerves are there. Disrupted sleep. Ups and downs. The pre-season battle is real, even for a champion of the game.
The reality of another gruelling season sets in. And it is all documented with this new Pendlebury project. Beyond 400. A truly revolutionary pre-season audio diary.
From skills sessions to Coffee Club with Steele Sidebottom, from exhaustion to recalibration, Pendlebury: Beyond 400 kicks off with an unfiltered deep dive into what it means to defy time in the AFL.

A very special Part C of The Showman himself, Glenn Maxwell.
After a record breaking innings - arguably the greatest ever ODI innings in history - Howie sat down with Maxi in person in India.
Maxi had freshly scored 201 runs from just 128 balls, with 21 fours and 10 sixes against Afghanistan in the 2023 World Cup - remarkably keeping Australia's tournament hopes alive - so, Howie went and sat with him for a special chat.
This is the feature interview courtesy of Fox Cricket.

Olympic Gold Medallist, World Champion and Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist. But best of all, he is just a nice, down to earth, emotionally open guy. And that, is why we love King Kyle!
He took the world by storm in the 100m freestyle as an 18-year-old at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and as a result, he has experienced all the highs and also all of the lows of being a professional athlete. He discusses it all openly.

The dazzling First Lady of horse racing. And she sure does dazzle.

An Anzac Day Special.
Howie is joined by Fox Footy host, Sarah Jones, to remember her Pop, Jack Jones - who appeared on the podcast in 2016, for episode 6. It remains one of Howie's favourites.
The late Jack Jones played in 7 Grand Finals for the Essendon Bombers, which included 3 Premierships. Before he stepped out for the Bombers, he went to war with the 24th Infantry Battalion in New Guinea and Bougainville. His memory and recall of these times was as breathtaking as it was incredible.
He had no time to fear what was happening around him, because he was committed to looking after his mates first. And that about sums him up, you have to hear his story.

Warm. Happy. Thoughtful. And, an Aussie rock sensation. That is Mark Seymour.
Even better, his ability to sing in front of thousands, is only rivalled by his ability to tell his story.
From humble beginnings in a small country town called Beaufort, to insights into Bruce Springsteen and so much more. Go deep with this Aussie legend.
The former front man of Hunters and Collectors is still making music, and he is still absolutely brilliant at it.
The Boxer is Mark Seymour’s 11th solo studio album, and the fifth to be credited to Mark Seymour & The Undertow. It is out April 19. Pre-purchase the album, or buy tickets to see Mark Seymour and the Undertow live at www.markseymour.com.au

And for the first time, the humble and hard working Steph Catley - who was the stand in skipper when we needed her most - recalls the moments of the Matildas memorable World Cup on home soil.

He is the wordsmith wizard who wields his pen like a cricket bat. His love for the game is as strong as a Steve Smith cover drive, but Bharat Sundaresan is not just a journalist; he's the literary leg-spinner who bowls you over with his wit and wisdom, making the world of cricket a tad quirkier and a whole lot more entertaining.
Now, if that isn't a description that Bharat would be proud of, i don't know what is!
He is unique. He is beautiful and his story is stunning and his Player Profile is just as good!

Despite his ability to have a laugh - he jokes that his life is a series of mistakes - it is no coincidence that Kochy helped guide the TV show Sunrise to 20-years of morning breakfast domination.
The President of the Port Adelaide Football Club in the AFL is wise, humorous and down to earth. From TV, media and football, Kochy is the quintessential Artist Series guest.

One of the biggest names in the history of Australian Swimming. He has multiple Olympic Gold Medals - including the famous 4x 100m victory at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. He has even more World Championships and a bag of Commonwealth Games medals.
In more recent times, he has had to harness all of his courage, competitive spirit, elite mindset and his almighty work ethic which he was renowned for in the swimming pool, towards a health battle out of it.
Klimmy is three years on from a life-changing diagnosis with a rare neurological disorder and steps through the initial shock, challenges, and his positive outlook for the road ahead.
He is Michael Klim, and he is a ripper - in and out of the pool.
Michael Klim joined the Howie Games thanks to his Ambassador role with the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood. It is estimated it’s taken approximately 1000 blood and plasma donors to date to keep Michael Klim leading a functional life!

So much more than a legendary Aussie Olympic Gold Medallist.
Klimmy was incredible in the pool, but he also has had a unique personal journey out of it. His story is as empowering as it gets, and his profile is insightful and fun, all in one!
From grilling the perfect steak to his early gig as an usher at a St Kilda theatre, even owning a Mazda before getting his license, and the enduring impact of a friendship with Ian Thorpe, this player profile is a special blend of anecdotes and accomplishments.
Let's dive into the world of Michael Klim, where swimming meets sizzling steaks and youthful adventures!

This isn't a typical Howie Games episode. But, it could be one of the most inspiring yet.
This former footballer turned producer, media personality, businessman, son, brother, husband, friend and soon to be father has endured more than most, and he is still bringing positive vibes everywhere he goes.
Dylan Buckley is the son of a gun, his Dad Jimmy played in three premierships for the Carlton football club, and he followed in his footsteps. But, after 41 games, and 8 years on an AFL list at both Carlton and Greater Western Sydney, he was forced to forge his own, different path.
He was ahead of the curve and has gone on to create his own highly successful podcast and is also the co-founder and director of one of the largest independent media companies in the country, Producey.
It hasn't been easy on or off the footy field for a variety of reasons. But as Dylan says, it's not about what happens, it's how you respond to it that counts.

He is an interested, delightful and gentle human being... and a jokester as well.
Starcy is the personification of the old adage, good things come to good people. And after almost becoming the world's tallest wicketkeeper... he has gone on to achieve some amazing things for his country.
Enjoy crew!

Crats joins Howie for a backwards Player Profile, but one thing is for sure, the Aussie paceman has come a very long way since his first job (sorry crew, you are going to have to listen to find out where he started). There is plenty packed into this one, including Mitchell Starc's Top 5 Hardest Batsmen to bowl to - which controversially includes a team mate.
The Australian cricket teams golf commissioner could end up on a professional golf tour when he is done. But, he has a few wickets to take for Australia yet.
Keep enjoying the journey, Starcy!

From the humble beginnings of making burgers at KFC and cruising around in a Toyota Corolla to the Howie Games Player Profile.
Pbol has a-grade book, tv show, movie and podcast recommendations, he honestly doesn't miss! And he would tee up arguably the best trio for a dinner party we have ever heard.

He is the voice of cricket. But, he is so much more. The beauty about this world wide sensation, is that he is kind, thoughtful and funny.

He has travelled the world writing and commentating cricket, with stories, relationships and memories to last a life time.

Lisa Curry is a very, very strong person. She’s had to be. When she was competing, when living her life under the public gaze, when running businesses, and tragically, when dealing with the loss of one of her children.
From literally being thrown in the deep end, to competing against the East Germans, Commonwealth Games domination, a behind-the-scenes look at some iconic Olympic Games, muesli bars, and family, this is in depth look at the life of a great Australian.
Lisa has just released a fascinating book, Lisa: A Memoir - 60 years of life, love & loss. It's well and truly worth a read.

"You think you have big balls now?"
Thanasi Kokkinakis is the type of athlete that I love. He plays to entertain, to have fun, and to give it his all. He nails that fine line between putting on a show, whilst still doing his utmost to win.
This is an episode that views life through the lens of a 26-year-old. From a behind-the-scenes look at life on the ATP Tour and his win with mate Nick Kyrgios at the Australian Open, to injury, dedication, and living life to the fullest. This is good gear! ❤️

Usman Khawaja is one of the coolest cats in Australian sport.
He is a beautiful man. Humble yet confident, caring yet strong, calm yet passionate.
As a parent, he is the type of role model I would like my kids to follow because Uzzie just gets it.
From his faith, to racism, to having his heart broken by selectors and returning to his native Pakistan (and dominating!), Usman has a great story to tell.
Usman is grateful for all the love he has in his life. We are grateful he came on for a chat. ❤️

In his heyday, Mark Bosnich - The Boz - was one of the best goalkeepers on the planet…if not the best.
With over 200 games in the English top flite, playing for the likes of Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Manchester United, Mark had an astonishing career.
As you will hear, Bozza has come unstuck a few times as well. However, he takes it all in his stride. Boz talks openly about what happened, what he learnt about the perils of fame, and how he got through it all.
Mark is a larger than life character who makes everyone around him laugh and smile. What more could ya ask for!
Bozza comes courtesy of Stan Sport and their wonderful and extensive football coverage. ❤️

Jamie Kah was absolutely flying. Heading into the 2021 Spring Racing Carnival, the South Australian was the world’s top-ranked female jockey and had recently become the first jockey to ride 100 winners in a Melbourne Metropolitan racing season.
Then it all came to a grinding halt.
This is the first time Jamie has spoken publicly since she was very publicly suspended from racing because of a covid breach during Victoria’s lockdown in September 2021.
We all make mistakes and Jamie owns hers. But as you will hear, she is so much more than a tabloid headline. One of the most dedicated athletes in the country, this is the story of a woman who has turned a lifelong love of horses into an immensely successful career.
Thank you Jamie for trusting the pod to tell your story ❤️

"The way I blocked it out was singing the Frozen song"
Mitchell Johnson didn’t follow your typical Australian cricket pathway.
He was spotted by the great Dennis Lillee in his late teens and all of a sudden found himself at the cricket academy. He had wanted to play tennis.
From there, it was quite the ride. Dominance, then injury, then his form dipped as he was struck by mental and physical anguish, then he roared back and delivered one of the truly great Ashes series by an Aussie bowler…whilst rocking a truly epic moustache!
In his own quiet, softly spoken way, Mitch explains that life at the top isn’t always easy. He talks about living with depression, his love of family, and his fierce desire to win. ❤️

TheHowieGames | Colonel Bob Sheridan has been the voice of boxing for over 50 years. He's called 10,000 plus fights, including the biggest prize fights of all time...
Ali v Foreman in "the rumble in the jungle", the infamous Tyson v Holyfield "Bite Fight", Pacquiao v Horn and countless more. The Colonel goes behind the scenes on all of these fights with some rip-roaring stories.
But the reason Bob has been able to transcend his sport and become a household name to sports fans is because the Colonel is an entertainer.
He’s larger than life and bigger than big! He is an old-school broadcaster that prepares immaculately, but when the big moments arrive the notes go out the window and he operates on instinct, letting it all hang out. The Colonel is the man!

"My saving grace was I was completely oblivious to what other people expected me to do"
TheHowieGames | Dan MacPherson is the type of person we love on this podcast.
When he is asked whether he can do something, he says 'yeah, no worries, I can do that', then goes and learns how to do it.
In Dan’s world, this involves things like as a teenager, stepping on to the Neighbours set as an actor, when he wasn’t really one at that point. It means saying yes to starring in musicals, then learning to sing. Being cast as an action figure, then working with special forces type dudes to learn how to fire guns and blow up buildings. Easy peasy!
This is an in-depth look at the life of an actor. From the lows of constant rejection at auditions to the thrill of landing the gig that takes your career to the next level…and plenty of sport as well!

TheHowieGames | Michael Holding was a mainstay of one of the most feared, loved and dominant teams world cricket has ever seen, the mighty West Indians of the 1970s and 80s.
This episode meanders through Michael’s early years growing up in Jamaica, reaching a point where Mikey was the most graceful, beautiful, captivating quick-man the game had seen.
Michael also talks extensively about his fearless approach to cricket broadcasting, where he learnt the ropes with the likes of Richie Benaud and Ian Chappell.
But above all that, it’s the last part of the podcast that will stay with me. Michael’s words and thoughts on the scourge that is racism, left me questioning a lot of things about the world in which we live, and frankly, how I, as a white male, view it.
Since I spoke to Michael his explanations and hopes have been a topic around the dinner table with my wife and kids and I really hope it becomes a talking point with your family. ❤️

TheHowieGames | Martin Potter is the 1989 World Surfing Champion, but you don't need to have any interest in surfing to take something from this episode.
"Pottz" tells some wild tales in this chat…from growing up in South Africa in the apartheid era to joining a group of tough, competitive, aggressive surfers on tour as a 15 year old!
He discusses family relationships, the wave that defined his life, in-competition biffo, and more recently a life in the commentary box, including being on air when Mick Fanning was attacked by a shark at Jeffreys Bay.
But the real gist of what Martin is all about, what defines him still today, is his attitude towards life and living. Martin has an unwavering determination to forge his own path, no matter the resistance. Pottz has the courage to be an outlier.

TheHowieGames | Adam Scott has a brilliant story. A story that will forever be etched in Australian sporting history and Adam tells it in this episode in such a relaxed, entertaining, reflective and funny manner.
Adam is a pretty private person and I hadn’t heard a lot of these stories. From his early years, mind games when taking on Tiger, dealing with pressure, the pain of the 2012 Open and plenty more.
But the ep culminates with one of the most enjoyable conversations I've ever had on the pod, as Adam takes us through the closing stages of his history making Masters win in 2013 - at times shot by shot.
Here’s an upfront guarantee…it will give you goosebumps. ❤️ This episode was made possible by the good people at Uniqlo, for whom Adam is a global ambassador.

TheHowieGames | In her day, Lauren Jackson was universally regarded as the best player in women’s basketball.
Her honour role is outrageous. 4 Olympic medals (3 silvers and a bronze), a World Championship, countless domestic titles all around the globe, MVP’s and Flag Bearer at the London Olympics. This is a serious resume.
But, Lauren’s journey wasn’t always an easy one. Along with the trophies, lifelong friendships and the joy she got from the game - of which she is extremely grateful - LJ also battled injury and mental health issues along the way.
In her own, understated way, Lauren doesn’t shy away from the difficulties she has overcome in this episode. Listening to her speak, it left me with the general thought that this makes her achievements, both on and off the court, even greater in my eyes.
LJ is a star ❤️

TheHowieGames | Kevin Muscat has been on an incredible football journey.
From Wembley to World Cup qualifiers, being labelled a hard man, that penalty at the MCG, Melbourne Victory and coaching in the A-League, Kevin has seen it all. But what I love about this episode is when Kev talks about throwing it all in for one, gutsy, almighty punt.
A punt that which paid off in spades when Kev was named manager of a European football club.
Kevin Muscat dreams big. I hope this ep helps you do the same.

TheHowieGames | Nat Fyfe is one of my favourite footballers.
A two-time Brownlow Medallist and captain of Fremantle, he is a great player to watch and an exciting player to call. But more than that, I enjoy all the other sides of Nat that you don’t see on field.
His love of surfing, his off season travelling, driving big rigs, business dealings and his generally inquisitive nature.
That’s all discussed in this episode, as well as how fanatical Nat is about preparation, what he’s learnt about leadership and what he’s been forced to overcome on his football journey.
Above everything though, I wanted to get Nat on the pod as he has always struck me as an adventurous soul in a world where adventurous spirts don’t get as much love as I reckon they should.
So, here's to all you adventurers out there! 💜

TheHowieGames | Finally, we've come good with a rugby league guest. I know the wait has been long, but hopefully it's been worth it!
For mine, there’s no better person to speak league with than premiership player and legendary coach, Craig Bellamy.
For a man that has achieved so much in the game, Craig is not a man we know a great deal about.
In this episode, Craig speaks in depth about coaching, the Big 3 in Cronk, Smith and Slater and the effect the salary cap scandal had on him and the Storm. We also discuss his upbringing, the loss of his father, his playing days and plenty more.
Stay safe ❤️

TheHowieGames | Patty Mills is one of a kind. I came away from this episode thinking he is a very special person.
If you combine Patty's background, his upbringing, his desire to succeed, his leadership, his work as a role mode and a spokesman, his empathy and care for others, his love and sharing of his culture and his ability to hit massive 3 point bombs….Well, all that makes for a very powerful combination!
Most people would be more than happy to say they are an NBA champion. But that's only a small part of who Patty is.
This show has always aimed to revolve around the themes of inspiration and motivation. In that light, I can think of no better guest than the man you are about to hear.

TheHowieGames | In the heady days of the 1980’s, where New Zealand were rolling out in the brown and beige kit, Ian Smith was a mainstay of the Kiwi team. A wicketkeeper and lower order bat, Ian played 63 tests and 98 ODIs for the black caps.
After retiring from the game, Ian took up cricket and rugby broadcasting. Due to his passion, excitement and energy, he is my favourite cricket broadcaster. Smithy is a gun!
This ep goes back to the days of the underarm ball and Channel Nine's "golden goblets" for player of the match! It ends with Ian’s crowning glory… His iconic call of the 2019 world cup final between England and his beloved New Zealand.
The big man delivers in spades in this ep!

Since then, alongside the great Murray Walker, his voice has become synonymous with F1.
Martin has some brilliant stories to tell. F1 in the 80's and 90's, huge crashes, racing the likes of Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna and working alongside Murray Walker. His highlights and lowlights from his famous grid walks prior to F1 race starts involve some classic yarns.

TheHowieGames | Garrett McNamara surfs enormous waves. The biggest ever surfed. Huge mountains of water that defy belief.
In some ways this episode covers the themes that this show revolves around. Hard work, commitment, preparation and truly doing what you really want to do with your life. But with the G Man, the messages are delivered in a very, very different manner. Garret has lived a life far from ordinary. This isn’t just a podcast about surfing, it’s the story of a kid who grew up in very unusual circumstances. This is a look at life lived on the wild side.
Strap yourself in!

TheHowieGames | This week, one of the most frequently requested guests we get from you good people out there, "Mr Cricket" himself, Mike Hussey.
The underlining theme of this chat is what drove Mike to achieve such wonderful success. The answer may well surprise you, as Huss was driven, in many respects, by self-doubt. The way he used what many would see as a huge negative and somehow turned it into an even bigger positive, it's a pretty unique approach. It certainly worked.
Behind the scenes with one of Australia's greatest cricket teams. What more could ya want!

TheHowieGames | Grant Hackett is a triple Olympic gold medalist, a giant of the pool. In my view, he is also the most focused, determined, driven athlete this podcast has ever featured.
Grant’s views on races that he didn’t win, which are brutal, highlight why he was so good. For those wanting to know what type of sacrifices are required to truly be the best, this is the episode for you.
These days Grant is in a great place. A successful businessman, a doting dad, relaxed family man and all round good bloke. I hope you love this episode as much as I do.

TheHowieGames | Fawad Ahmed is a wonderful man with a remarkable story. Born in Pakistan, he always dreamed of playing cricket for his country of birth. That story was never to be, with Fawad leaving his homeland fearing for his life. Arriving in Australia Fawad had his cricket dream… but precious little else.
Seeking asylum, Fawad went through all manner of highs and lows, including a 10 month period where he went from playing cricket for Hoppers Crossing, a suburban team in Melbourne’s west, to playing for Australia!
This is a story that defies belief.

TheHowieGames | This week’s episode features Scott McLaughlin, the hottest thing in V8 supercars. In his 7th full time season in the category, he has hordes of devoted fans who love his aggressive nature on the track and approachable nature off it. This bloke is the real deal with trophies galore to prove it.
But for all his wins, it’s actually a loss in 2017 that has truly shaped Scott’s career and the man himself. Scotty takes this podcast into areas where it’s only been once before, with Cate Campbell, in describing the desolation and embarrassment, Scott’s words, not mine, that an athlete feels when they lose something everyone expected them to win.
He then takes the show into unchartered areas with a fascinating explanation of what he did to rebuild his psyche and turn himself back into a winner. It’s raw, captivating and motivating. Get around the kid.

TheHowieGames | This week’s episode is the perfect example of all the good stuff in life. Going out on a limb, having a crack and defying the odds. It features a fantastic fellow by the name of Phil Anderson.
Phil is a trailblazer in Australian cycling. The first non-European to wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France, victories in some of the biggest classics in the caper, a couple of Commonwealth Games gold medals and so much more.
But the real joy in this episode for me is Phil’s ability to tell some incredible stories, about a time when sport wasn’t so professionally packaged, monitored and scientific. Phil’s was a wonderfully outrageous time of pre-race steaks, mid-race Coca Colas, no helmets, a lot of risk, long distance phone calls and fluoro!
Real last man standing stuff. Enjoy!

Gazey is one of the greats of Australian basketball, and of Aussie Olympic teams. He was part of 5, including being the flag bearer at the Sydney games
Throw in a couple of NBL championships, an NBA crown (which he has differing views on), 7 NBL MVPs and he sits very comfortably in the Australian basketball hall of fame, Sport Australia hall of fame, and the FIBA hall of fame.
But, equal to all that, Andrew Gaze is one of the nicest men in Australian sport. He always has time for everyone and as you are about to hear, has a wicked sense of humour. The man is a legend.

TheHowieGames | Tim Paine - This week's guest is a wonderful example of perseverance. At the start of the last Aussie summer he couldn’t get a game for Tasmania. By the end of it he was the Australian test cricket captain.Extraordinary. His name is Tim Paine.
Tim is fiercely competitive on the field and extremely warm and friendly off it. His life will change this summer.

TheHowieGames | Cyril Rioli - the Champ from the Tiwi Islands plays footy like he is still a kid in the park. Hangers, impossible goals and crazy tackles. The audacious and ridiculous is almost the norm for a man who prefers to let his football do the talking.
In the middle of the 2018 season Cyril shocked the AFL world. After 189 games, 4 premierships and all sorts of individual awards, Cyril called it quits mid season. The reason for the decision? Well it’s not a simple one line explanation. To understand why Cyril walked away, you need to listen to the story of Cyril’s life and what being free really means to him.
