240: Jason Gillespie (Player Profile)

One of our great Australian characters in full flight! From delivering pizzas in a 1971 Datsun to making double tons, Jason Gillespie has done it all—and then some. Dizzy opens up on that iconic nickname, his current obsession with pan-fried veggie dumplings, and his love of old-school wrestling and Bernard Fanning. He shares wisdom from his late father, pays tribute to Malcolm Marshall, and lets us in on jaw-dropping moments with Hugh Jackman inside the Lord’s changerooms. Plus: the hardest batters he bowled to, the bowlers who made him sweat, plus, a nice plug for that unforgettable double century. ***  Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/  Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames

239: Matt Hill (Part B)

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! ***  Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/  Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames
