    Jun 24 2025

    It's just us back in the studio catching up on all the Sportish things from the last couple of weeks, including Origin (somewhat reluctantly), Caitlin Clark (protect that woman at all cost), the Enhance Games (SO MANY THOUGHTS), and, of course, F1 (from quals to pit walks)!

  • Robyn Smith keeps finding sports barriers that need breaking
    Jun 17 2025

    Robyn Smith is someone who's track record in the inclusion space is second to none - CEO of Sport Inclusion Australia for 34 years, Assistant Chef de Mission for Sydney 2000 Paralympics, Member of the International Paralympic Committee, Governing Board Member of Virtus Sports....the list of her work is extensive and enduring. She's as passionate about grassroots sports inclusion for people with an intellectual disability, as she is about Brisbane 2032 and the opportunity for all our Paralympians. On top of all of this, Robyn is also unashamedly direct about the role women need to play in all sporting spaces. We are HUGE fans of this incredible individual.

  • Emmy O'Neill thought she was training for a triathlon - it turned out she was training for a transplant
    Jun 10 2025

    Emmy O'Neill always knew that she might need a new kidney, she just didn't know when that would happen, and that along the way she reconnected with sport and a whole new community.

    You can find out more about Transplant Australia and their incredible sports programs here. And for me about disability sport options, check out the Australian Sporting Alliance for people with a Disability.

    Finally, for Emmy and all those currently sitting on a transplant waitlist, we'd ask you to take a moment and register to be an organ and tissue donor https://www.donatelife.gov.au/register-donor-today

  • Katie Kelly is funding our next generation of para-athletes
    Jun 3 2025

    This week we chat with the incredible Katie Kelly - 2 time Paralympian, Australian representative in Blind Cricket, and Founder of the Sport Access Foundation. We chat about the challenge (and opportunity) of playing sport in a country town, aquiring your disability, hiking to Everest Base Camp and how organisaitons like the Australian Sporting Alliance for People With A Disability can help kids and families connect with sport.

    THE BEST PART? She's just launched the Sport Access Foundations 2025 Grant Program and you can get involved by sending this episode to a family with disability who needs a little help in accessing sport.

  • Most kids can't swim 50m by the end of primary schoo...are we ok with that?
    May 27 2025

    Royal Life Saving Austalia recently released a report that had some pretty disturbuing statistcs, including the fact that most primary school kids can't swim 50m by the end of primary school. With drowning rates increasing 10 fold by the time kids are 20, it's never been more important to ask whether we're ok with the swimming skills of our kids?

    This week to talk to the CEO Royal Life Saving Australia, Justin Scarr, about why it's so important to make some cultural changes.

  • Adam Selwood, apparently we can't talk F1 and a kids sport lolly crisis
    May 20 2025

    With the tragic passing of Adam Selwood, we talk about the men's mental health and the pivotal role sport plays. We're very challenged by the idea that you can only talk about a sport if you've played it and can't compute what this means for F1, and we've got a listener question about the CRISIS (too dramatic?) that is lollies in kids sport. Come join us!

  • Gary Hall Jnr, no room for booing in sport and Tassie cheering gold
    May 13 2025

    Gary Hall Jnr came back on to our screens this week and it was emotional. We do a much needed community sport check in - colour runs, booing and our kids making their own sporting decisions (Amazing! Also, WHAT WILL YOU NOW PLAY?). Finally, the Mid Week Hall of Fame is back with a story that is honestly ready made for the movies. Tune in!

  • She's back!!!! Plus F1, inconsistent doping bans & dumb tackling comps
    May 6 2025

    She has missed talking sport and Archie seems pretty good (for now?) so welcome to our latest guest host, your OG host, LIBBY TRICKETT! And because we haven't been able to talk for yonks, we're straight into F1, the ridiculously inconsistent doping bans from WADA and the dumbest tackling comp we've ever heard of. Tune in!
