Balancing the demands of big-time college football… and big-time study. Joe takes us inside University Life, Scholarships, GPA's and living arrangements for College footballers. It's not just about training, lectures and learning – it’s about player welfare too. Joe gives us a raw insight into the seriousness of concussion protocols, the importance of custom-fitted helmets, and how the program at Ohio State is leaving nothing to chance when it comes to the treatment of it's players. Plus, a kicking session with NFL punter Cam Johnston. It’s a moment. A test. And a glimpse of what might be to come. Training intensifies. Competition ramps up. And Joe is bagging a few wins at training competitions as he starts to carve out his place in one of the biggest sporting programs on the planet. It’s education, it’s elite sport, and it’s all getting very, very real. *** College Diaries release schedule. Subscribe to the Howie Games feed so you don’t miss an episode!

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.

Recorded on August 6, 2016, at 6:24PM in the West Indies, this chat with Mike Haysman was meant to be one of the first-ever episodes… until Howie forgot to label the files. They were lost. And now they are found. And some stories are too good to stay buried. Before he became one of cricket’s most respected broadcasters, Haysy was a cricketer tipped to be the next big thing in Australian cricket, a man who received handwritten notes from Sir Donald Bradman, took part in the infamous rebel tour of South Africa, and once called a match with $20 million riding on it. This episode takes you back to Howie’s first international commentary gig, where Mike Haysman took him under his wing before they sat down for this very conversation. So, off we go to Saint Kitts in the West Indies—where the rum was ready, the stories are golden, and the lost files finally see the light of day. *** 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.

Recorded on August 6, 2016, at 6:24 PM in the West Indies, this chat with Mike Haysman was meant to be one of the first-ever episodes… until Howie forgot to label the files. They were lost. And now they are found. And some stories are too good to stay buried.

Without further ado... a story that epitomises everything this podcast is about. And Fages - the chief story teller - tells it beautifully. A determination to follow dreams and break convention. A relationship based teacher, turned Premiership coach. It truly is an inspiring, and motivating story - with a few ups and downs along the way. But, the journey to get there is what makes it special. And the story teller and chief energy officer doesn't miss a detail. Thank you Fages. *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
