This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including; the Geelong concussion situation, the AFL coach merry-go-round, the culture storm surrounding the WNBA, and plenty more. Their guest this week is one of Australia's most versatile sports commentators, Jack Heverin. Jack has built a career across just about every corner of sport, calling everything from AFL and cricket to the NBL, international basketball and major sporting events. Unlike many commentators who come through the playing ranks, Jack's journey started in community radio, producing and journalism, and he's worked his way up to become one of the most respected play-by-play voices in the country. The boys chat about Jack's journey from Langwarren on the Mornington Peninsula to the big stage, what it takes to make it in sports media, what makes a great commentator, the difference between radio and TV, which sports are hardest to call, and where sports broadcasting is heading next. Having spent plenty of time together on MMM, the pair have some great on-air chemistry, with Jack sharing what it's actually like working alongside BT, what happens when the microphones are off, and some of the more outrageous moments from the commentary box. Always the consummate professional, Jack is a team-player, is passionate about his line of work and is truly one of the good guys of Australian sports media. We thank Jack for his time.

Christchurch City Council's push for an NRL league team has moved beyond talk. The council is working with the governing body on details for a potential 20th club. New documents show eight key areas are being worked through, including governance, funding, infrastructure, high-performance facilities and building a fanbase. A call on whether to make a formal bid remains undecided. Newstalk ZB Canterbury Sports Commentator Nick Bewley told Ryan Bridge there's encouraging signs for people in the South who want a NRL team, but there's certainly a lot to do.

Rugby League, international cricket, the Olympics, Super Rugby – you name it, Laura McGoldrick is there. She's one of the country's best-known broadcasters, and has had quite a diverse career, working as a TV presenter, radio host, MC, and an actress. McGoldrick has just returned from the official ICC broadcast of the Women's T20 World Cup, and joined Jack Tame for a chat about her life as a sport's broadcaster. "I don't think sport's going anywhere,” she told Tame. “It's the freest entertainment you can get, and I think one of the things I love so much about it is that I can turn up on any given day, and I have absolutely no idea what's going to happen, and neither do you as the viewer.” “That's what makes it very exciting.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cleveland Kurentovanje Northeast Ohio is home to the largest population of Slovenians outside of Slovenia, roughly 47,000 people. It's no surprise that it's also home to the largest winter festival celebrating Slovenian arts and culture outside of that European country. Cleveland Kurentovanje, also known as the Slovenian Mardi Gras, begins this weekend. Its a multi-day festival that celebrates the end of winter and the beginning of spring. The festival has been volunteer-run for 14 years, and is a program of the Slovenian Museum and Archives, which has a new exhibit part of the festival celebrating the life and legacy of one famous Clevelander of Slovenian and Serbian heritage — George Voinovich, who was a Republican mayor of Cleveland, governor of Ohio and U.S. senator. The exhibit is called "Together We Can Do It!" and honors Voinovich's passion for public service and global cooperation. On Thursday's "Sound of Ideas," we'll learn more about the festival and exhibit by hearing from some of the organizers joining me in studio. Guests: - Suzana Češarek, Consul General of the Republic of Slovenia in Cleveland - Greg Nosan, President, Slovenian Museum & Archives - Kathy Walters, Member, Cleveland Kurentavanje Executive Committee Terry Pluto's new book on the Browns Sports commentator Terry Pluto has a new book out that builds on previous releases "False Start" and "Browns Blues" and arrives at another turning point for the Browns. With a new head coach, a reshuffled team, and a new stadium on the way, Pluto explores the questions fans never stop asking, such as "Why can't the Browns find their quarterback?," "When will there be a Super Bowl run," and "Why does this team still inspire such fierce loyalty?" People may know Terry Pluto from his weekly "View from Pluto" segment with Ideastream "All Things Considered" host Amanda Rabinowitz. He's also a longtime columnist for The Plain Dealer, and formerly for the Akron Beacon Journal. Pluto will talk about his new book, and the moment Browns fans find themselves in. Guest: - Terry Pluto, Sports Commentator & Author, "Why Can't This Team Just Find a Quarterback?” The Menu: Sports Bars Later in the show, regardless of how they're playing, many folks still tune in to watch the Browns each week. And that's good news for Cleveland's bars and restaurants. Whether it's to watch that team win or lose, or watch a Guardians game in the summer, a Major League Soccer game or even just get a basket of chicken wings, the sports bar remains a reliable fixture in Northeast Ohio. But is the sports bar still just cheap Budweiser's and guys yelling at a TV, or is it morphing into something else? On this week's installment of "The Menu," our food series in collaboration with Cleveland Magazine, we'll discuss a new sports bar in Lakewood, just ahead of the Olympics kicking off this Friday, and the Superbowl taking place on Sunday. Guests: - Will Hollingsworth, Owner, Buildings and Food

Ben "The Bane" Davis has carved out one of the most unique paths in combat sports and entertainment. From calling fights across multiple promotions to stepping inside the cage himself—and even competing on MTV's The Challenge—Ben brings a rare blend of curiosity, courage, and relentless work ethic. In this episode, Ben breaks down how he entered the world of combat sports commentary, what he learned while grinding through early media roles, and the mindset it takes to stand out on the mic. We talk about pacing, preparation, chemistry with a co-commentator, and why great play-by-play requires both discipline and personality. Ben also shares his firsthand experience competing in BKFC and Karate Combat—not just as a commentator, but as a fighter—and what those opportunities taught him about the sport and himself. Then we dive into his leap into reality television with MTV's The Challenge: • What life in the house was really like • The hardest part of adapting to cameras 24/7 • How the alliances, strategy, and politics actually work • What he took away from the experience and whether he'd do it again If you're someone who has ever wondered "what if?", Ben's story is a testament to saying yes, taking chances, and learning through unconventional opportunities. Enjoy this conversation with one of the most dynamic voices—and personalities—in combat sports today. _____________________________________ If you would like to watch the show, please feel free to follow me on YouTube and catch the video podcast from each of the guests! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqHG9H7vljaLwQ765GIdBQA  If you'd like to listen to the show, you can catch the podcast on your favorite platforms: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gametime-guru/id1195653965 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6bBJIiyOxs25BHKhKlCe23  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/81800b66-fda2-4263-ac16-04c1c1d637a8/the-gametime-guru Tune In: https://tunein.com/podcasts/Sports--Recreation-Podcasts/The-Gametime-Guru-p1021721/ YouTube Music: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvbvSCliFvNWYadx9YugquysAbVz8Cb7i
