The Howie Games

This is the story of one of Australia’s most electrifying athletes — and a man who has lived through moments of both triumph and heartbreak that transcend sport. Cameron Munster takes us inside the harrowing day he learned of his father’s passing, right in the middle of the most important State of Origin preparation of his life. From the couch as a kid — pizza in hand, wide-eyed as the mighty Queensland Maroons went to war — to carving out his own unforgettable Origin moments on the biggest stage of all, Munster’s journey is raw, inspiring and deeply human. We dive into the highs of Premiership glory with the Melbourne Storm, and the crushing lows of defeat on the final day. We explore the famed Storm culture, the uncompromising influence of Craig Bellamy, and how those around him have shaped Munster not just into a brilliant footballer, but into a bigger, better person. This is more than rugby league. It’s about resilience, redemption and what it takes to rise when life throws its toughest challenges your way. *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The pressure cooker is heating up in Columbus. And we are living inside the obsession with Joe as we countdown to game day. Every kick. Every scrimmage. Every moment counts. The Buckeyes have made the call on their quarterback, Julian Sayin. But for Joe, and the battle for the number one punting role, the wait continues. Stress builds. Doubts creep in. Obsession takes hold. Six punts at training can feel like six sliding doors moments. It is do or die. In this bonus, behind-the-scenes episode, Joe reveals what life is like on the edge of the decision. From clearing his head on a world-class golf course, to navigating the delicate relationship with his teammate and rival Nick, to the perks of being a Buckeye—custom Beats headphones and all.

The fiercest rivalry in all of sport. Joe takes us inside the history that divides a state, a program, and sometimes even families. It's as fascinating as we have ever heard! It’s not all football. There’s a 4th of July holiday road trip – a thousand kilometres, a concert, and even a tornado warning. Plus, another polarising topic... Pineapple on pizza… Joe’s verdict?

Plus, we check in with fellow Aussie punter Jesse Mirco, chasing one of just 32 NFL spots, and finish with a newspaper article that’ll make you wish you had a brother like Joe. The College Diaries.

We’re taking you way back to 2009 and 2015, to special (and fun) conversations recorded with the legendary Hulk Hogan – long before The Howie Games even existed. With the sad news of Hulk’s passing, we wanted to share this as a small tribute to a man who left an indelible mark on sport and entertainment. In the longer conversation, Hulk reflects on the glory days of wrestling, the injuries, the razor blades, Vince McMahon, Rocky III, and the journey from $15 pay cheques to becoming one of the most recognisable faces on the planet. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the millions around the world who grew up watching Hulkamania run wild. Rest in peace, brotherrrr.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Time to meet the men behind the madness. The voices behind The Grade Cricketer, Ian Higgins and Sam Perry. What started as a rogue tweet is now a full-blown sporting and cultural phenomenon. Podcasts, books, live shows, viral content … these two have built a beast. In this Player Profile, ahead of the full backstory, we start with some banter. In the full episode, past lives are revealed, content kingship is dissected, and the absurdities of Grade cricket (and life) are laid bare, plus, some cricket lists that could shatter the ICC rankings system These blokes are more than just banter – they’re two of the most interesting, articulate, and switched-on minds in the game today. Before we dive into a full-length innings with the lads, have a laugh with Ian and Sam. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We dive headfirst into the billion dollar business of college football. Our man on the ground, Aussie punter Joe McGuire, peels back the curtain on the machine that is the Ohio State Buckeyes football program. And just like his old man, Joe’s storytelling is full of colour, detail and personality. We meet his teammates. We hear from the passionate voices around the program. And we go behind the scenes with the Buckeyes’ media team, giving us an exclusive window into the scale, pride and polish of one of the most iconic sporting institutions in the world. Plus, a legendary voice joins the fray – Paul Keels, the voice of the Buckeyes, brings the full weight of Ohio State tradition and emotion to the series for the very first time. We explore the business behind it all – from stadium sellouts to media deals – and ask the big question: how many of these young athletes actually make it to the NFL? With draft dreams in the air, and the pressure building, Episode 3 is about big hopes, big money, and big-time college football. *** College Diaries release schedule.

One of our great Australian characters in full flight! From delivering pizzas in a 1971 Datsun to making double tons, Jason Gillespie has done it all—and then some. Dizzy opens up on that iconic nickname, his current obsession with pan-fried veggie dumplings, and his love of old-school wrestling and Bernard Fanning. He shares wisdom from his late father, pays tribute to Malcolm Marshall, and lets us in on jaw-dropping moments with Hugh Jackman inside the Lord’s changerooms. Plus: the hardest batters he bowled to, the bowlers who made him sweat, plus, a nice plug for that unforgettable double century. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
