The Howie Games

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!

Knocked down time after time—and still, he got back up. And guess what? He went on to represent his country at the highest level, performing to the highest possible standard. Alex Carey is living proof that you are not defined by your setbacks, but by how you respond to them. When his AFL dreams were cut short, his state cricket contract torn up, and he found himself playing for just a dollar a run—he kept going. He pushed through it all and earned the ultimate reward: the baggy green. Ashes wins. A World Cup. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy. A World Test Championship. BBL Titles and Sheffield Shieds. Alex Carey achieved more than most dream of—well beyond his original goal of playing AFL. Even better? He's a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Alex Tyson Carey—this story couldn't come from a better bloke. ***  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.
