Hooked on Sport

After 19 years as a sports columnist for the Sunday Mail I am now sharing the local SA sporting news on my weekly podcast, Hooked on Sport. Without the newspaper column, there is a void in SA media covering community sport and the stories within. In each episode I’ll cover five stories. 15 minutes of your time and you’re up to date!
