210: Trent Cotchin (Part A)
He dreamt of winning a Premiership, but he never really believed it was possible.
He even contemplated giving the entire game away. There was shame, and guilt. But through the setbacks, came unprecedented success.
Trent Cotchin helped lead a cultural shift at the Richmond Tigers, culminating in not one, not two, but three Premierships and became the most decorated captain in the club's long and storied history.
The how, and why and meaning behind it all, is in this beautiful long form chat. Captain Cotch, at his finest.
Thank to AAMI for their support of local and community footy, and thanks for their support of this episode with Trent Cotchin, epitomising turning setbacks into success'.

209: Remembering Jack Jones with Sarah Jones (Part A)
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.

Customer Reviews
Bruce McAvaney
Hey Howie
I re-listened to your Bruce interview. He is the best broadcaster in the last 50 years.
The Howie asking questions of episode thirty something isn’t near as good as the latest episodes.
Can you do Brice again and dive in as deep into as you now do.
He’s the best there ever was, lets hear with Howie 2021 asking questions.
Background noise is distracting
Sounds like he’s cleaning the kitchen and making sandwiches. Hearing the wife and dog is odd. Super distracting from otherwise awesome content.
Best thing I’ve listened to since Clarke’s took two wickets in the last over at the school
I think it’s brilliant. Love the stories have listened to most twice. Just be careful with the jarrod Lyle episode. Found myself driving along the i80 in California balling my eyes out. Good stuff howie.
