In this week’s episode of Podshout, we meet the inspirational Gold Medal-winning Australian Olympian, Russell Mark OAM
Russell represented his country in the sport of shotgun shooting with distinction at 6 Olympic Games over 28 years, as well as 6 Commonwealth Games and numerous World Cup Events.
Russell shares with us the influence his father, Brian Mark, had on him, his progression through the sport, and why he got a tertiary education before pursuing his Olympic Dream.
We learn about some of the politics of Professional Sport and more importantly, Russell shares his views on some up and comers and future Olympic shooting prospects; including Laetisha Scanlon, James Willett, Penny Smith, and Paul Adams. He tells our listeners why the standard is so high for our female shooters at an Olympic level.
Our interview covers Russell’s life after his amazing sporting career in both business and in the media.
Finally, Podshout gets the scoop on some upcoming projects that Russell has been working on from the other side of the microphone.
We hope you enjoy this episode.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
