  • Episode 379 - Grae Morris Interview
    Jun 6 2024

    We are sailing right down your speakers today by returning to the sport of sailing as we chat to Aussie Grae Morris who is set to make his Olympic debut in Paris in the brand new IQFOiL category of windsurfing! We learn from Grae all about this unique new category in the sport and just why we should be so excited to watch it. We also learn from him about his incredible rise through the sport and just why we could've been seeing him not only compete in a different sport at the Olympics but also for a different country as well. Added to this we find out how he is feeling about his medal prospects for the Olympics, why it has taken Australia so long to have a male athlete back in windsurfing at the Olympics and why his dad is the best person to follow during the Olympic Games for some real honest updates on his son. It's an epic chat of epic proportions that you simply can't miss!

  • Episode 378 - Blake Edwards Interview
    Jun 4 2024

    It has been over four years since we properly sat down and talked water polo on the show and today we are finally rectifying that in the best possible way as we speak with co-captain of the Aussie Sharks and Olympian Blake Edwards about his extraordinary career and just what we can expect from the Aussies come the Paris Olympics! Blake goes over his journey in the sport and just how he chose the path to become one of Australia's best water polo players not only down under but across the world. We also find out the unique training regimes required by water polo players and why it deserves to be a sport that we should focus on more in Australia. Added to this we find out about his unique day job, learn if Paris is finally the time that the Sharks are able to make it back to the quarter finals at the Olympics and try to learn whether Chairy would be half decent at the sport. It's another amazing chat that you won't want to miss! So get to it and get entertained!
