Kids in 2031 will listen to this, if all goes to plan, to get a look into how Jye Caldwell became an Aussie rules superstar. After a couple of years at the GWS, he's now playing for the Bombers and, for that matter, playing very well. The boy from Bendigo's already a gun. Injuries - which may or may not include sore feet - have delayed it a bit, but in 2022, he's ready to metaphorically explode. Don't be surprised if it's a big season from Jye and Essendon. Whether or not you're a fan of the...

Wes Agar said pre-show he wants to tell his story like he never has before. He's a fast-bowling cricketer playing for South Australia, the Adelaide Strikers and, as of recently, the Australian T20 team. This one really touched us. It's a moving story that's tricky to do justice to in a quick description, so, if you'd like to hear some incredible examples of adversity overcome, tune in.

If you're anything like us, this story will grab you and never let go. Joey Gibbs is an Australian footballer with an awesome tale to tell. His first senior season saw him wheelchair-bound and, just months later, making his debut as the youngest-ever player in an A-League Grand Final. Joey's journey has since then led him to a slightly shady Belgian club, more national glory, Hong Kong's now-defunct Tai Po FC and, of course, Iceland. What's life like in a wheelchair? What's life like as an...

Summer sports are all starting to kick off, and this is a story that'll want you to get the tennis ball out for a game of backyard cricket. Stella Campbell loves cricket as much as the rest of us, but she's got the added bonus of being out there representing Australia. Making her story even cooler is the fact she's only 19. She's killing it in the WBBL and taking Test wickets for her country, plus her dad's a cricket tragic. What's not to love! Big love to Stella for jumping on and her...

Jye Edwards: Olympic 1500m runner, Vogue model, pod legend, all-round good guy. Why did everyone starting falling over in his race? How terrible were Tokyo's cardboard beds? And how did it take 23 years for Jye to finally get a modelling gig? Tune in for the answers to these questions (plus a few serious ones). There's a reason we wanted Jye back - we know you'll love this one! Enjoy! Some links to click on: All our socials: linktr.ee/wdwbpod The one that really helps us:...
