It's good to be back! The the walking of Daniel Riccardo down the Red Bull plank ABSOLUTELY got our attention this week!

Sporties! We're on a 2 week break while we survive school holidays but we'll be back on Wednesday 2 October. In the meantime, nominate someone (or a team) for the Mid Week Hall of Fame HERE (and why not make it a voice note?). What does a Mid Week Hall of Fame nominee look like?.... It's a grassroots, authentic moment that deserves to be celebrated. It doesn't have to be a win, it doesn't have to be a personal best time and a good test is "could this be a story line in a movie or episode"....

This week we're interrupting normal programming to help you jump on some bandwagons - this time, Paralympic ones! Here's our chat with triathlete and absolute legend Jeremy Peacock.

We have SO MANY thoughts on breaking, marathons, cycling, athletics - essentially most of the things that happened in Paris week 2.  FYI we are well aware that we do not know what cool is.  (Ps - we know, the audio is a bit average. We're on it.) Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How we love the Olympic (even if there is NO time to sleep). We chat about all the big and little moments that have caught our eye (and our hearts!) from Paris Week 1.

How did we feel about the Opening Ceremony? Why is Snoop Dog everywhere at the Olympics? Are the beds in the Olympic Village really that bad? Why do the skateboarders not wear helmets and how is it that Libby is STILL talking about Le Tour De France?!!!  Eavesdrop on us doing a detailed debrief on all things Olympic.

When it comes to the Olympics, there is nothing better than a sports montage set to banging tunes or an Olympic anthem that gives you chills (remember Gloria Estefan and Atlanta? We absolutely go there). So when we heard that Jessica Mauboy had released a team song for the Australian athletes, we had no choice to revisit that time when the Australian swimming team wrote and recorded their own Olympic song.  You can watch the 2008 Aussie Swim Team song here:...

We get it, these are tricky conversations. But they are also some of the most important conversations to be having. So when we had incredible human rights lawyer, Nikki Dryden, in the house, we decided it was the best opportunity for us to have an educated, informed discussion on the topic.   And because we're working Mums who are trying to juggle all things life, you'll also get to hear Libby's 1 year old Alfie slowly destroying the studio while we have this chat. We apologise AND we also...

Holy moly, a lot has been going on at Firebirds HQ in the last month! But when we heard that our mate, Katie Walker, had been asked to step into role of coach for the last 4 matches of the season, we knew that the team was in good hands.  And so we wanted to drop this oldie but goodie from the All That Glitters back catalogue, so you can get to know to this gem of a human.  Libby xxx You can find Katie on Instagram @katiewalker_bbr and check out her business at Body Be Ready:...

Olympics are in the air and WE ARE EXCITED.

Nikki Dryden is an Olympic swimmer, journalist and human rights lawyer who in late 2021, realised that the female athletes of Afghanistan were in grave danger. What happened next saved countless lives, brought into question the obligations of large sporting bodies and preserved the fundamental right of women to play sport.  You can read more about the escape of the female athletes and their families here:...

Look, we get it. Not everything can be free. But when it comes to key sporting moments, don't you think everyone should be able to watch? In a society where sharing a cultural moment is becoming increasingly rare, do we want it to be harder?  NOT US! So this week, we spoke to the Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young about what is happening with media laws in this country, and why you should have a chat to your local MP and check out a petition to keep sports viewing free in Australia.  Keep...
