227: Marnus Labuschagne (Part A)
mardi 17 décembre 2024 • Duration 01:00:47
From a backyard cricket prodigy to one of the quirkiest figures in world cricket. Born in South Africa and raised in Queensland, Marnus's love for the game is infectious.
Marnie is more than just his batting stats; he’s a character. Known for his mid-pitch chatters, eccentric habits, and unwavering love for coffee, he’s brought an old-school charm to the modern game.
From a letter from coach Justin Langer, a chance call-up to the top level during the Lord’s Ashes Test in 2019 to an unlikely 2023 World Cup winning performance and overcoming performance slumps. Marnus, really is one of a kind.
He is a beauty.
***
This is Part A early for you... Part B will be published Thursday morning for us to all enjoy more of Marnus!

209: Remembering Jack Jones with Sarah Jones (Part A)
mercredi 24 avril 2024 • Duration 52:52
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.
