When you talk about the cast and crew of Almost Live!, you're not exactly talking about cookie-cutter versions of personnel. But if you insist on the cookie analogy, we're talking about every kind you can think of: There were ginger snaps, like Nancy Guppy. Sugar cookies, like Tracey Conway. Snickerdoodles, like Steve Wilson, Peanut Butter Keister, Gingerbread men like Bob Nelson, Ed Wyatt, and Joe Guppy - and Animal Crackers with nuts like most of the rest. But one person - Ralph Bevins - is his own kind of cookie... a mix of ingredients - maybe some chocolate chips, butter, eggs, honey, some extracts - and, sometimes, molasses. Ralph was the show's chief videographer, director, and editor during much of its best years. He was also an occasional producer and writer and, like his preceding camera wizard, Darrell Suto (also known as Billy Quan,) Ralph also portrayed an on-camera character you couldn't ignore. As he began his career, he was well-traveled around the U.S. until a bit of fate landed him in Seattle. A life-long fan of all things cinema, Ralph brought a film buff's eye to Almost Live! that helped make it look and feel like a big deal TV show. He's retired now, but he still lives in town with his wife, Beth and two kids - neither of whom is named Ralph. Here's the indomitable, the talented, the beloved, and the incomparable... Ralph Bevins.

Stanford University is one of the most prestigious colleges in the nation. Some of its alumni include a guy named Larry Page, who's the founding CEO of Google. It's true. You can look it up on Bing if you don't believe me. Other famous graduates are Sigourney Weaver, Reese Witherspoon, Tiger Woods, Rachel Maddow, John Steinbeck, Ken Kesey, Senator Henry Jackson - and the people who founded PayPal and Netflix. But of all Stanford's distinguished elite, only one of them climbed the lofty ladder to achieve a place of immortality on “Almost Live!” His name? Ed Wyatt. He grew up in Portland (Oregon) and got his Stanford degree in English... which is his first language. He taught that subject at Bellarmine Prep, a Jesuit school in Tacoma, while also doing a bit of coaching in football and basketball for the Bellarmine Lions. As you'll hear, along the way, Ed started nosing around a fledgling local TV show called ‘Almost Live!' Perhaps that topic will come up in the coming interview. Ed Wyatt official sites Ed Wyatt | IMDb Ed Wyatt | Twitter Ed Wyatt | Money In Sport How to College in the 90s: Wyatt, Ed, Jeakle, Bill After his time at Almost Live!, for a while, Ed was the host of a Portland TV Magazine show. Then he moved to L.A. helping to start a new sports network: Fox Sports World, which brought him to eventually living in Australia. He's been there for twenty years since, enjoying the down-under culture, food, people... and music. Australian. AC/DC... INXS (In Excess)... Bee Gees... Olivia Newton-John... and, of course, the immortal Rolf Harris... OK, maybe not that guy so much. Especially since Rolf Harris got into big career-ending trouble a few years ago. You can look it up for yourself on Google. Or Bing. But back to Ed Wyatt - who is one of the finest people you'd ever meet. Today, he does everything - from sports reporting on basketball, soccer to baseball... and more. He is one of the best-known, most-celebrated sports media figures in all of Australia - one of the big deals there... on TV, radio, streaming, and print. He's married to a native Australian named Michelle, and they have a son named Sam. Living in a place for two decades, Ed long-ago lost his Pacific Northwest accent... if there is one. So note his Aussie brogue, as we catch up with him from his home in the coastal city of five million called Melbourne.
Guests this morning included US Sports expert Ed Wyatt, and Racing tipster David O'Driscoll.

Through this series we’ve looked at how Australian Rules has found its way into the lives of Americans in the most unlikely circumstances. But for the final episode we’re going to look at things in reverse. A time when US sport found something they liked about Australian Rules and turned it into an asset. Darren Bennett was a high quality full forward in the VFL/AFL whose trademark was his booming right foot kick for goal. But when injuries curtailed his career at Melbourne Football Club, he was expected to fade off into the distance. Nobody expected him to have a second life in professional sport. That this second life would eclipse his aussie rules career and make him a legend in America’s favourite sport makes it one of the most unlikely sporting success stories on either side of the Pacific. His legacy paved the way for many Australians in the US. AFL and NFL star Darren Bennett joins us all the way from Tulsa, Oklahoma on TGSTW Presents US Revolution The Greatest Season That Was Presents is part of the Bad Producer Podcast Network and is produced by Jay Mueller.

US Revolution features Mason Cox, Shannon Gill and American broadcaster Ed Wyatt in an exploration of Australian Rules Football's US connections. The 8-part series features additional interviews with Paul Roos, Mason Cox, Jason Holmes, ESPN's Bob Ley and former VFL / AFL star John Ironmonger. Since the resumption of the AFL season the interest in Australian football from the US has continued , with now Fox Sports and ESPN both carrying matches in the USA. But the idea of how to make the AFL an ongoing success beyond the spike of interest during COVID-19 is a challenging one. In a previous episode of US Revolution we spoke to Bob Ley – an ESPN original who was there in the heady days of the early 80s when Australian rules had a prime spot in the schedule because of the lack of rights to the major US sports. BY the 90s ESPN had fallen out of love with the sport as it bounced around irregular scheduling on the network. For expats and US converts it hit rock bottom when the broadcast of a Grand Final was delayed by a baseball game. One of our own, Ed Wyatt, and his Australian sports television producing wife Michelle were two of those who thought the game deserved better in the 90s. Michelle was producing for Fox Sports in the US and decided it was time Australian football was given a proper push. On TGSTW Presents US REV - we talk to Michelle, and Ed, about how they got Fox Sports to televise the AFL in the US during the 90s and the highs and lows of trying to push our game into the American TV market.

Mason Cox and Jason Holmes are unbelievable recent stories in AFL history, elite athletes from one part of the world being hand-picked without any knowledge of the game and transformed into senior AFL players over a period of time within a full-time professional set-up. But Danielle Marshall is a story perhaps even more unlikely, an American athlete who stumbled across the sport on TV, became a fan and then longed for a chance to play it. Then when she finally found a way to play the Australian game in the USA year later, her progression was so quick that within 19 months she had become the first player to be directly recruited from the USAFL to AFLW, perhaps the the first time a player in an Australian football league based overseas has progressed to the highest level in Australia. Now a Western Bulldogs player who has just had a taste of her first AFLW season with a fairytale beginning, Dani Marshall joins us on TGSTW US Revolution to talk about her footy journey.

When ESPN started on US television it had a studio, a name, and not much else. It also had Bob Ley. Bob and his ESPN colleagues spent hours talking about obscure sports from around the world. Australian Rules Football was one of the most obscure and developed a cult following among early ESPN subscribers. Bob Ley joins The Greatest Season That Was Presents...US Revolution.

Paul Roos is a legend of modern Australian Rules. On the field he was all class, 356 games for Fitzroy and Sydney, in the 80s he ushered in a new style of attacking play from defence and became on one of the league’s best players through his 17 season career that spanned from 1982-1997. He was named in the All-Australian team no less than 7 times, and was inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame as a player in 2005. But that wasn’t the end of footy for Roosy. He moved into assistant coaching at Sydney before taking on the head coach role in 2002, turning the Swans into a perennial power and breaking a 72 year drought by coaching the formerly South Melbourne and now Sydney club to a premiership in 2005. Finishing in 2010 he was then lured out of retirement to mastermind the rebuilding of the Melbourne Football Club taking them from the bottom of the AFL ladder, before handing over a finals ready team to his groomed successor 3 seasons later. But what is lesser known of Roos is his effect on football in the United States. A twist of fate on an end of season trip led to the USA becoming a second home and subsequently made him perhaps the highest profile advocate for the Australia-US footy connection. US Revolution features Mason Cox, Shannon Gill and American broadcaster Ed Wyatt in an exploration of Australian Rules Football's US connections.
