Sportish

Emma Booth was literally living out a Saddle Club dream when a car accident significantly changed her riding tragectory. From falling in love with her first horse to competing at 2 Paralympic Games, the sport of equestrian has been a constant and evolving theme in Emma's life.

When we got a message from one of the Sporties saying they needed more netty content, we decided to call in one of the legends of the game, Vicki Wilson.

You can also expect a wrap up of the Le Tour De France Femmes and what it's like to be a viewer of the...

All Le Tour (including the female version, the Femmes!), the swimmers are back in the pool (AGAIN?!) and we chat about our growing concerns when it comes to kids soccer. Tune in!

The AIS has just released ground breaking guidelines for our elite athletes who are starting families and then returning to high performance sport. Dr Rachel Harris is part of the AIS team who developed the guidelines and jumped into the studio with us to talk about the whole lifecycle - from support for period management in the junior years, through to the world leading support for mums to be and young families within our sports s...

It's just us back in the studio catching up on all the Sportish things from the last couple of weeks, including Origin (somewhat reluctantly), Caitlin Clark (protect that woman at all cost), the Enhance Games (SO MANY THOUGHTS), and, of course, F1 (from quals to pit walks)!

Emmy O'Neill always knew that she might need a new kidney, she just didn't know when that would happen, and that along the way she reconnected with sport and a whole new community. 

You can find out more about Transplant Australia and their incredible sports programs here. And for me about disability sport options, check out the Australian Sporting Alliance for people with a Disability. 

Finally, for Emmy and all those cu...

We chat about the challenge (and opportunity) of playing sport in a country town, aquiring your disability, hiking to Everest Base Camp and how organisaitons like the Australian Sporting Alliance for People With A Disability can help kids and families connect with sport...

Royal Life Saving Australia recently released a report that had some pretty disturbing statistics, including the fact that most primary school kids can't swim 50m by the end of primary school. With drowning rates increasing 10 fold by the time kids are 20, it's never been more important to ask whether we're ok with the swimming skills of our kids?

This week to talk to the CEO Royal Life Saving Australia, Justin Scarr, about why it'...

With the tragic passing of Adam Selwood, we talk about the men's mental health and the pivotal role sport plays. We're very challenged by the idea that you can only talk about a sport if you've played it and can't compute what this means for F1, and we've got a listener question about the CRISIS (too dramatic?) that is lollies in kids sport. Come join us!

Gary Hall Jnr came back on to our screens this week and it was emotional. We do a much needed community sport check in - colour runs, booing and our kids making their own sporting decisions (Amazing! Also, WHAT WILL YOU NOW PLAY?).  Finally, the Mid Week Hall of Fame is back with a story that is honestly ready made for the movies. Tune in!

She has missed talking sport and Archie seems pretty good (for now?) so welcome to our latest guest host, your OG host, LIBBY TRICKETT! And because we haven't been able to talk for yonks, we're straight into F1, the ridiculously inconsistent doping bans from WADA and the dumbest tackling comp we've ever heard of. Tune in!

We have received SO MANY messages from the neurodiverse community about the intersection of sport and neuodiversity and so for this week's episode we wanted to talk to some experts. Emily and Kylee from the Neuolicisious podcast work day in, day out with neuodiverse kids and families and give us some excellent things to think about when it comes making our sporting environments more inclusive. 

You can here Emily and Kylee on ...

As well as some excellent guest hosts, while Lib's away on maternity leave we also wanted to bring you some chats with people who are doing incredible things that intersect with the world of sport. First cab off the rank is the team from the Kicks for Kids Foundation, a not for profit organisation that's making a difference by making sure some of the most underprivilidged kids are getting access to sporting equipment.

Thrilled to bits to have Ellie Cole as our Guest Sportish host for this week! We chat Brisbane Paralympics, why time slows down when you're exercising and Ellie's new kids book, Felix and his Fantastic Friends (it's truly excellent).
