He sits down with the biggest names in Australian & world sport, finding out how they started out, what makes them tick, how they deal with the big wins and the big losses, and how they take on sport and life from here.

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.  Lest We Forget. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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  ***  Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/  Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From idolising others, to becoming the idol. Ryan Papenhuyzen grew up as a Rugby League tragic, he could only dream of winning a Premiership, and he has lived it and is now setting an example for the next generation of footy players. He is a switched on, charismatic, perfectly self-aware, hardworking and an unbelievably resilient athlete.  From growing up in Kellyville in Sydney, arriving at the Melbourne Storm, learning under Billy Slater, winning a Premiership as a 22-year-old, a crushed kneecap, a dislocated ankle and returning to the top level.  Listen on Apple Podcasts or on Spotify today. And, get right behind Storm with a membership for 2024!  ***  Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/  Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a really great idea Howie. Just heard this episode on my hours walk after breaking free from my 23 hours of State enforced daily imprisonment and loved it! Brings long term subscribers into the inner workings of this brilliant podcast series. Great job mate! To you, Big Penguin, Pickle and all your production team!

you should ditch the "player profile" , unnecessary and it detracts from the episodes, enjoyed the IBF episode

Great interview Howie... They all are. Sometimes its a bit cringey when celebrities are interviewed by a interviewer/fan. I never feel cringey when you interview all these sporting celebrities... Solid man... Love the pod.
