Netherlands3 months ago - Mary Fowler 🌟
Just listened to the Mary Fowler ep, absolutely blown away. What an amazing, deep thinking, wise, self aware person; this would be far too many adjectives normally, but totally justified for Mary Fowler. I took so much from this episode, you are wise beyond your years, and for an absolute legend in Australian sport, so incredibly humble.
Such great questions from Hugh, Josh and Ryan as per usual, especially Josh 😂

Apple Podcasts5Bianka JayneAustralia5 months ago - Pity party?
Some great guests with potentially great discussions… but so often railroaded and overwhelmed by the hosts’ own navel gazing. The ADHD thing is so unbearably basic and boring now. Just let guests tell their stories without trying to compete.
