This episode covers Brian Barrish, who’s a Media Manager for the Australian Football League. Brian first became interested in Australain Football (Footy) back in 1995 while channel surfing. Since then, his interest in the sport has built him a resume that includes providing commentary and analysis for Stateside Footy TV, Girls Play Footy, and the Footy Gospel Podcast.
.
Brian even played a total of 61 games over seven seasons with his local USAFL club: The Philadelphia Hawks. In addition to being a team player, Brian has also served as secretary and media manager for The Hawks, and helped the club grow their online presence with game reports and social media involvement.
.
The conversation ranges from what got Brian into Footy, to how the sport has evolved over the years, Brian’s experience traveling to Australia, and even a time when one of his comments during a game made a splash on Reddit. The USAFL is currently celebrating their 25th anniversary by releasing a set of podcast episodes in the near future, so check out the resources below to stay updated on when those get released.
