All That Glitters

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 their BRAND new podcast, Neurolicious, and follow them here.

Is it ok that a drug suspension aligns perfectly with a gap in grand slams? We sort out who is driving for what team in F1 (and checking everyone has their licenses - we would have assumed this was crucial but apparently not?).

The internet is still not up to date when it comes to women's sport but there are midweek hall of famers working hard in the background to make things better. The swimmers are back (SO SOON!) and breaking all the records, and we unpack the age old debate: should everyone have to play team sports? Thanks for being part of the Sportish team in 2024! As a little thank you, we wanted to share our Gift Guide HERE. We hope you all have a wonderful, festive Christmas and New Year break, and we can't wait to get back in your ears in 2025.

In the meantime, nominate someone (or a team) for the Mid Week Hall of Fame HERE (and why not make it a voice note?). What does a Mid Week Hall of Fame nominee look like?.... It's a grassroots, authentic moment that deserves to be celebrated. It doesn't have to be a win, it doesn't have to be a personal best time and a good test is "could this be a story line in a movie or episode". If in doubt, nominate away!

We have SO MANY thoughts on breaking, marathons, cycling, athletics - essentially most of the things that happened in Paris week 2.  FYI we are well aware that we do not know what cool is.  (Ps - we know, the audio is a bit average.

Why do the skateboarders not wear helmets and how is it that Libby is STILL talking about Le Tour De France?!!!  Eavesdrop on us doing a detailed debrief on all things Olympic.

When it comes to the Olympics, there is nothing better than a sports montage set to banging tunes or an Olympic anthem that gives you chills (remember Gloria Estefan and Atlanta? We absolutely go there). So when we heard that Jessica Mauboy had released a team song for the Australian athletes, we had no choice to revisit that time when the Australian swimming team wrote and recorded their own Olympic song.  You can watch the 2008 Aussie Swim Team song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikt4SuzGGsc And if you're looking for goosebumps, go and watch Gloria delivers the goods: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3EFOSJ4ZQc PS. We know that we said Gloria sang at Barcelona and that is absolutely incorrect. It was Atlanta.

We get it, these are tricky conversations. But they are also some of the most important conversations to be having. So when we had incredible human rights lawyer, Nikki Dryden, in the house, we decided it was the best opportunity for us to have an educated, informed discussion on the topic.   And because we're working Mums who are trying to juggle all things life, you'll also get to hear Libby's 1 year old Alfie slowly destroying the studio while we have this chat. We apologise AND we also feel strongly that working Mums need to be part of these conversations.  Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Holy moly, a lot has been going on at Firebirds HQ in the last month! But when we heard that our mate, Katie Walker, had been asked to step into role of coach for the last 4 matches of the season, we knew that the team was in good hands.  And so we wanted to drop this oldie but goodie from the All That Glitters back catalogue, so you can get to know to this gem of a human.  Libby xxx You can find Katie on Instagram @katiewalker_bbr and check out her business at Body Be Ready: http://www.bodybeready.com.au Hosts: Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Olympics are in the air and WE ARE EXCITED.

Look, we get it. Not everything can be free. But when it comes to key sporting moments, don't you think everyone should be able to watch? In a society where sharing a cultural moment is becoming increasingly rare, do we want it to be harder?  NOT US! So this week, we spoke to the Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young about what is happening with media laws in this country, and why you should have a chat to your local MP and check out a petition to keep sports viewing free in Australia.  Keep Sports Free Petition: https://greens.org.au/campaigns/keep-sport-free-watch Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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/.  And you can listen to Joe's incredible conversation with Maggie Dent here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/joe-williams-after-five-kids-ive-finally-learnt-what/id1709222141?i=1000645209435   Hosts: Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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).

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.

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! Libby x You can follow Giaan on Instagram @giaan.rooney and catch all her swimming insights as part of the Channel 9 Olympic coverage.  Hosts: Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.  Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kim Ravaillion is one of the most electric players to watch on a netball court. But her ability to play and move almost came to complete end in 2023, when she woke up one morning to find that she couldn't move her leg. So what had happened to bring Kim to this point? And,  what happened next...? You can find Kim on Instagram @kimmyrav, check out her online fitness program @ravsfitness and of course she her in the purple dress for the Queensland Firebirds.  Hosts: Georgie Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
