He had a dream. And is living it.
Matt Hill is the voice behind some of the best moments in Australian sport. He is already a broadcasting icon. But, he is an even better bloke. And he explains the dream he is living, brilliantly.
From calling races around the hallways as a kid, to voicing the Melbourne Cup, Olympics and footy and plenty more sports (wait until you hear the list!). Matt Hill is the dream chaser who never gave up — even when he was on the dole or facing a life-threatening health scare at the Beijing Games.
This is a powerful story of grit, passion, and pure love for sport. A master of the mic… who’s still just a fan at heart.
Thanks Matty! See you Thursday Night on Fox Footy!

Knocked down time after time—and still, he got back up. And guess what? He went on to represent his country at the highest level, performing to the highest possible standard.
Alex Carey is living proof that you are not defined by your setbacks, but by how you respond to them.
When his AFL dreams were cut short, his state cricket contract torn up, and he found himself playing for just a dollar a run—he kept going. He pushed through it all and earned the ultimate reward: the baggy green.
Ashes wins. A World Cup. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy. A World Test Championship. BBL Titles and Sheffield Shieds. Alex Carey achieved more than most dream of—well beyond his original goal of playing AFL.
Even better? He's a true gentleman in every sense of the word.
Alex Tyson Carey—this story couldn't come from a better bloke.

Daisy is real. He tells it how it is. And his journey in sport and media is wide ranging. As expected, he is also plenty of fun.
But, before we get to the full story - which will surprise you and hopefully lift you - let's do what the former Collingwood and Carlton footballer does best - have a bit of a laugh.
The boy from Drouin in Country Victoria is a beauty.

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.

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.
