He has represented Australia on the world stage as a player and as coach. There are World Cups, Olympics, Asian Cups. And there are even Maradona and Messi stories.  But above all, there is passion and pride for his country.  Graham Arnold joins Howie to chat about his wide ranging journey in world football. And the stories, have to be heard to be believed.  After finishing the main podcast, Graham was also kind enough to sit back down with Howie to explain why he stepped away from the main Socceroos coaching role.  There is so much to admire and love about Graham Arnold. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed getting to know this great human being.  ***  Apple Users: Apple Podcasts recently made changes to how podcasts are delivered.

An Anzac Day Special.  Howie is joined by Fox Footy host, Sarah Jones, to remember her Pop, Jack Jones - who appeared on the podcast in 2016, for episode 6. It remains one of Howie's favourites.  The late Jack Jones played in 7 Grand Finals for the Essendon Bombers, which included 3 Premierships. Before he stepped out for the Bombers, he went to war with the 24th Infantry Battalion in New Guinea and Bougainville. His memory and recall of these times was as breathtaking as it was incredible. He had no time to fear what was happening around him, because he was committed to looking after his mates first. And that about sums him up, you have to hear his story.  Lest We Forget. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But he remains, a down to earth, charismatic, funny, home-grown, Saints loving, petrol head.  Eric Bana is worth every second of the wait.  From growing up in Tullamarine, stand up comedy nights in North Melbourne, plus standing on the players race to watch St Kilda, to mixing it with Brad Pitt and Steven Spielberg. It's a journey that normally only dreams are made of, but he has lived it and he tells it with plenty of detail, humility and laughs. Don't miss it.  And don’t miss, Force of Nature: The Dry 2 which is in cinemas now – Eric’s latest Aussie thriller will have you hooked right until the end.  *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of Howie's favourites. An entertainer on and off the field. He has pretty much seen it all as a player, a coach and a broadcaster. He rose up the batting ranks quickly during his career playing for India. He has managed Virat Kohli as head coach of India. And now, he travels the world as one of the sports leading broadcasters.  Above all, he is a great human with an unrivalled charisma and a great ability to share a story (or two, or three or four!) A huge thanks to Fox Cricket for making this chat possible, get your cricket fix all summer long on Fox Cricket on Foxtel and Kayo.  *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was our biggest sporting story of 2023. The Matildas conquered the hearts of a nation. They captured the attention of most of the globe.  And for the first time, the humble and hard working Steph Catley - who was the stand in skipper when we needed her most - recalls the moments of the Matildas memorable World Cup on home soil.  From the moment she messaged her mum a selfie of her in her Matildas jersey, to pumping her chest after hitting the back of the net in a World Cup in her home city.  This really is what dreams are made of. It's goosebumps central in episode 200 of the Howie Games.  *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
