This week we're interrupting normal programming to help you jump on some bandwagons - this time, Paralympic ones! Here's our chat with triathlete and absolute legend Jeremy Peacock. We recorded this chat before we knew for sure that he'd be in Paris, and the brilliant news is that he's been selected!!  You can find Jeremey on Instagram @jezza_peacock and support him via his blog https://jpparatri.wordpress.com/ Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. We're on it.)

How we love the Olympic (even if there is NO time to sleep). We chat about all the big and little moments that have caught our eye (and our hearts!) from Paris Week 1. Expect a swimming wrap up, with a side of Pommel Horse Guy and the most unfortunate of pole vault fouls.  Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How did we feel about the Opening Ceremony? Why is Snoop Dog everywhere at the Olympics? Are the beds in the Olympic Village really that bad? 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 blame all the feelings.    Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're still enjoying/recovering from school holidays so while you're waiting for us to get back on the mics, here another opportunity to jump on a bandwagon, and this time it's to do with the Paralypmics, swimming and an incredible guy by the name of Brenden Hall. He's off to his 5th Paralympics and is an absolute LEGEND of the sport. Listen in and be ready to cheer him on in Paris!

We're on holidays (hooray!) so this week we're interrupting normal programming to help you jump on some Olympic bandwagons! And we wanted to start with one of the newer Olympic sports - surfing - and chat with legendary Australian surfer, Tyler Wright, who's heading to her first ever Olympics. We reckon you're going to love her.  You can find Tyler on Instagram @tylerwright.  Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See 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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Olympics are in the air and WE ARE EXCITED. We chat about swimming Christmas (aka the Australian Swimming's trials) and the absolute triumph of combining the Olympic and Para athletes at the same event. Libby's also off to Paris as a commentator and we hold grave concern for her mastery of the French language.  Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nikki Dryden is an Olympic swimmer, journalist and human rights lawyer who in late 2021, realised that the female athletes of Afghanistan were in grave danger. What happened next saved countless lives, brought into question the obligations of large sporting bodies and preserved the fundamental right of women to play sport.  You can read more about the escape of the female athletes and their families here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-23/afghanistan-female-athletes-find-refuge-in-australia/100398388 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-21/womens-sport-in-afghanistan-after-taliban-return/100392492 https://www.smh.com.au/sport/meet-the-women-who-escaped-the-taliban-and-now-play-for-melbourne-victory-20230608-p5deys.html   Hosts: Georgie Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See 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.See 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). You can catch Luttsy ever weekday morning on Nova 106.9 in Brisbane, on his podcast with Towards the Games with Chis Jones, and on socials @luttsy and @towardsthegames  Hosts: Georgie and Libby Trickett Instagram: @beingsportish Website: www.sportish.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. In a split second moment, she decided to use her acceptance speech to point out the inequity of the situation. What happened next was pretty special. You can follow Lucy at @saltwaterpilgram.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
