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"....

The Paralympics may have drawn to a close but sport must go on! Libby continues her (healthy? unhealthy?) obsession with cycling, we unpack a kids sport killer and we're back with another mid week hall of fame. Tune in!  Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The arrogance of cheating, Paralympic Officials who had 1 job (!), the awesomeness of Annie Williams, and introducing the Mid Week Hall of Fame. Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cycling defections, the return of TED LASSO(!) and a mild panic about inclusive clauses being unfair. AND, of course, a Paralympics previews.

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 recorded this chat before we knew for sure that he'd be in Paris, and the brilliant news is that he's been selected!!  You can find Jeremey on Instagram @jezza_peacock and support him via his blog https://jpparatri.wordpress.com/ Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website:...

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. Expect a swimming wrap up, with a side of Pommel Horse Guy and the most unfortunate of pole vault fouls.  Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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:...

For the love of crepes - all roads lead to France at the moment, with a slight Texan detour and some questions about what to call you Sportish listeners (send us your thoughts!

We're still enjoying/recovering from school holidays so while you're waiting for us to get back on the mics, here another opportunity to jump on a bandwagon, and this time it's to do with the Paralypmics, swimming and an incredible guy by the name of Brenden Hall. He's off to his 5th Paralympics and is an absolute LEGEND of the sport. Listen in and be ready to cheer him on in Paris! You can follow Brenden on Instagram @brendenhall93 Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram:...

We're on holidays (hooray!) so this week we're interrupting normal programming to help you jump on some Olympic bandwagons! And we wanted to start with one of the newer Olympic sports - surfing - and chat with legendary Australian surfer, Tyler Wright, who's heading to her first ever Olympics. We reckon you're going to love her.  You can find Tyler on Instagram @tylerwright.  Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.au See...

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. We chat about swimming Christmas (aka the Australian Swimming's trials) and the absolute triumph of combining the Olympic and Para athletes at the same event. Libby's also off to Paris as a commentator and we hold grave concern for her mastery of the French language.  Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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...

Joe Williams grew up in the NSW country town of Cowra, lived for Saturday morning sport and dreamed of becoming a footy player. And he did - he went on to play in the NRL and then later became a world champion boxer. But through the progression of his life and his career, he realised that sport was really just the conversation starter.  Oh how I loved this chat. Joe is incredibly generous and doesn't shy away from his ongoing personal work with addiction (Joe has been sober for 18 years) and...

For the last 18 months, the momentum towards Brisbane 2032 has felt, well, a bit stuck. But with a tiny glimmer of hope around the corner, we asked Olympic and Paralympic Games mega fan David Lutteral (Luttsy) from Nova and Brisbane Olympic's podcast, Towards the Games, to join us for a chat about the incredible opportunity that is coming for us faster than we think.  (Heads up, there is a little bit of swearing in this ep. And a ridiculous amount of laughter). You can catch Luttsy ever...

In 2021, Lucy Small won a premier Sydney longboard surf competition and at the presentation, found out that she was receiving less than half of her male counterpart. In a split second moment, she decided to use her acceptance speech to point out the inequity of the situation. What happened next was pretty special. You can follow Lucy at @saltwaterpilgram.

Hello! We're back and this week we're so excited to bring you an new interview with one of my all time favourites of Australian swimming - Giaan Rooney.  Giaan joined the Australian swimming team at 15, and went on to participate in multiple Olympic and Commonwealth Games and World Championships. She's collected a host of medals for relays and individual swims, and today is a much loved and respected part of the swimming commentary team. Her transition from swimming to real life wasn't...

We're doing to mid term check in, and the vibe in our households is a-v-e-r-a-g-e. Why? Because we've accidentally signed our families up to too much sport. So in a move which is very off brand for us, we're giving parents permission to say no to sport - NOT ALL SPORT - just too much of it.  Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kim Ravaillion is one of the most electric players to watch on a netball court. But her ability to play and move almost came to complete end in 2023, when she woke up one morning to find that she couldn't move her leg. So what had happened to bring Kim to this point? And,  what happened next...? You can find Kim on Instagram @kimmyrav, check out her online fitness program @ravsfitness and of course see her in the purple dress for the Queensland Firebirds.  Hosts: Georgie...
