Sportish is hosted by three time Olympian Libby Trickett and kids coach Georgie Trickett. Each week you'll be greeted with playful, inclusive conversations about sport through an unapologetically human lens, as well as interviews with our Sportish friends - from grassroots legends to elite athletes. Whether it's All that Glitters (where we talk to retired athletes), So What Happened Next? (interviews about key moments in the lives of sports, teams or athletes) or through our regular Wednesday episode, we'll help you find that point where sport and pop culture collide. Come join us!

Sportish: All That Glitters - Joe Williams
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 mental health. He also talks beautifully about aboriginal culture and how his understanding of what that means has evolved and deepened over time.
You can follow Joe @joewilliams_tew and check out more on his website https://www.joewilliams.com.au/.

Sportish: What on earth is happening with Brisbane 2032
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 weekday morning on Nova 106.9 in Brisbane, on his podcast with Towards the Games with Chis Jones, and on socials @luttsy and @towardsthegames

Sportish: So What Happened Next? Lucy Small
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.

Sportish: All That Glitters - Giaan Rooney
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 entirely seamless, but my goodness, it was close. I am in awe of what she has achieved and her process to work through everything.
Enjoy!

You can follow Giaan on Instagram @giaan.rooney and catch all her swimming insights as part of the Channel 9 Olympic coverage.

Sportish: Parents, we give you permission to say no to kids sport
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.
