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.

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.

Sportish: a nuanced conversation about human rights,  transathletes and sport

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.

Sportish: All That Glitters - Katie Walker

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.

Sportish: It's beginning to feel a bit Olympic

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.

Sportish: So What Happened Next? Nikki Dryden

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.

Sportish: Do you want  to pay to watch ALL sport?

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/.

Sportish: All That Glitters - Joe Williams

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

Sportish: What on earth is happening with Brisbane 2032

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.
