Sportish

Who on earth are these people dressed in yellow, dancing to music and playing...baseball? This week's episode of Sportish is a Sports Short (yes, it's back!) where we update you on the Banana brand as it stands today, and bring back a clip from our first chat about it in September 2023.

While we were on holidays Brisbane became the Australian epicentre of sport and Libby is suggesting that it all started with a swimming gold medal back 16 years ago? Stay with us. Meanwhile, it feels like McLaren's Papaya rules have got a little out of hand and we are very concerned that it's distracting to Oscar (a bit of ssshhh please for our Driver's Championship contender)! And after last week's Four Corners deep dive into gambling in Australia, Georgie discusses how betting language unexpectedly surfaced in her own home. Come take a listen!  Libby and Georgie x You can watch Four Corners "Losing Streak" on ABC iView Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Connect with Us: Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.playonmedia.com.au Email: hello@playonmedia.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Given it's school holidays (or nearly for some) we're bringing you a chat with the brilliant Carla Salmon - parent, high school english teacher and now author of "We Saw What You Started". A mystery set in a little coastal town surf club, We Saw What You Started is MEANT to be for teens but actually, Georgie found herself sneaking off from her family to read the next chapter. This story absolutely takes a look a life through the lens of sport. Come catch up with us and learn a bit about reading in the meantime...  Libby and Georgie x You can follow Carla on Instagram @carlasalmonbooks and buy her debut novel "We Saw What You Started" at all the major book retailers, independent book stores, and online (try Amazon or Booktopia) Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Connect with Us: Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.playonmedia.com.au Email: hello@playonmedia.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Crunch time at the Women's Rugby World Cup! We’re sitting down with former Aussie 7 and current NRLW player, Dominque du Toit, to get her take on all the action, both on the pitch and behind the scenes (Ilona, pretty bows, lack of press coverage - the works). We'll also tackle Libby's two quick sports things for the week and chat about some incredible new research: playing after-school sports can make girls 50% more likely to get a top job later in life. We're here for it! Libby and Georgie xxx PS Because we're athletes (to varying degrees) we LOVE a bit of coaching. Hit us up at hello@playonmedia.com.au or send us a DM on our social (@beingsportish) and tell us what you want to hear more of (and what you'd like us to put in the bin).

Another week, another situation where a football club forgets that they have an important role in society that goes beyond the game. It's exhausting to watch and we can only imagine what it must be like for our marginalised communities. An old favourite, Two Quick Things, makes a return so that Libby can shoehorn in a bit more car and cycling content, and we are PUMPED to introduce our first kids correspondent, 12 year old Ash from Northern NSW who is basically ready to become an NRL commentator and gives us his expert opinion on the upcoming NRL Finals.

The countdown is on! With the Winter Olympics in Italy just over 6 months away, we're getting into the Games spirit. This week, we're joined by Australian Olympic curler and bona fide legend, Tahli Gill. She's here to talk all things brooms, rocks, and life on the ice, from what it's like to be an athlete in a sport you've probably never seen in person, to travelling to another country for national trials.... Plus Georgie can’t stop talking about girls' cricket (much to Libby’s dismay), and we share our "gold medal moments" of the week – the stories that are making us feel all the feels.

We couldn't help ourselves but dive into the Serena Williams debate to do with weight loss injections.

A crying baby at a tennis match became the subject of much discussion last week so with baby Archie joining us in the studio we decided to join in. Speaking of Archie's.....we unpack the display of emotion by Aussie abroad Archie Wilson during a Nebraska football press conference.

When we got a message from one of the Sporties saying they needed more netty content, we decided to call in one of the legends of the game, Vicki Wilson.

The AIS has just released ground breaking guidelines for our elite athletes who are starting families and then returning to high performance sport.

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.  Libby and Georgie x We LOVE answering listener questions so if there's something you'd like to ask us, shoot us a DM HERE or write us an email (we accept all things!) -  hello@playonmedia.com.au Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.playonmedia.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
