About this listen
In Episode 72 of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits down with Rupert McCall—poet, performer, and proud Queenslander—for a rich and winding conversation about sport, storytelling, and how walking away from a legal career led to a life on stages across the world.
Rupert reflects on childhood backyard battles in Margate, discovering Banjo Paterson in Year 5, and his sliding-door moment at Strathpine that pushed him out of family law and into full-time poetry. He shares stories of early gigs, forgotten lines, Anzac Cove tributes, and finding rhythm again—both in his work and his life.
From writing Queenslander on a whim to reciting it at the Gabba after a Sheffield Shield win (and meeting his future wife that same night), this episode is full of serendipity, setbacks, and soulful reflections on the power of words.
🎤 A masterclass in trusting your gut, owning your story, and making emotion part of the game plan.
