Two Good Sports

She once got told her voice was 'too girly'. So she got her own voice coach, kept training and in 2026 Emma Lawrence made history as the first female play-by-play commentator for the NRL.  She tells us how she survived the newsroom grind, bounced back from multiple rejections and grew to thrive in a very male-dominated area. She's always bubbly, she's always full of ideas, and she's an inspir...

A four-day festival of footy is descending on Adelaide, and South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas talks with Georgie on why it's so important, supporting Port Adelaide over the Crows, and his plans to make Adelaide the go-to city for sport.  Plus, sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson did something incredible in the prestigious Stawell Gift that had us shocked. A 9-metre head start? Crazy. ...

She's an eight‑time Grand Slam champion, former world number one, Billie Jean King Cup captain and owner of the best arms in world sport. Tennis champion Sam Stosur joins us to reflect on life after tennis, the unique highs and lows of the game and what it really means to lead Team Australia. The future of the women’s game is bright with Talia Gibson and Storm Hunter leading the charge, but...

This week we're joined by Ben Tudhope, Paralympic silver medalist and all-round legend, to debrief us on the Winter Paralympics in Milano Cortino and lift the lid on his incredible career achievements.  Australia's youngest ever Winter Paralympian overcame a dislocated shoulder to bring us home two medals in 2026, a silver and a bronze. We find out how he did it, what's next as he looks towar...

We start this week's chat by asking the burning questions - what’s next for the Matildas after coming so close to Asian Cup glory? Can the AFL eliminate the ‘grub’ factor? And could Kylie unlock a twilight Grand Final at the G? For our main discussion, Abbey shares a deeply personal and difficult story that speaks to all women in media. A year on from an incident that saw the per...

It's the Grand Final rematch this week, but that's all in the past for the Broncos who haven't got off to the best start this season. Melbourne Storm legend and friend of the show Ryan Hoffman is with us to talk his new role in the AFL, the best leaders he's ever had and what made them unique, and how coaches are managing their teams in 2026 with some very interesting methods.    Harvey...

This week Scott Pendlebury dodged suspension thanks to being a Very Good Bloke, while Essendon rookie Jayden Nguyen revealed he panic‑deleted old DMs to his idol Lin Jong to avoid stage‑five‑clinger vibes, and is now paying it forward as an idol himself. The main event though, is of course the Matildas storming into an Asian Cup final on home soil, with rom‑com energy, Sam Kerr brilliance, and Ala...

Last week there was a story that went far beyond sport. What happened to the Iranian women’s football team during the Asian Cup was about safety, and impossible choices. These athletes came to Australia to compete and were instead forced to navigate war, surveillance and global attention, simply for playing football. We wanted to talk about what that means, why some players have now been gra...

Abbey finally hits the Formula One as a punter and confirms it’s the best day out - until heartbreak strikes when hometown hero Oscar Piastri crashes out before the race even begins. Add in a Matildas Asian Cup draw that makes the path to the final even harder, Tom Hanks casually rocking up to a Giants game, and endless AFL-NRL headline wars as Round Zero spars with the Vegas round, and you...

It’s been a big week in sport. Footy is back across both codes, the F1 season kicked off in Melbourne, the Matildas narrowly missed out on topping the group in the Asian Cup and the calendar is absolutely heaving. The AFL/NRL headline war fired up as Andrew Dillon floats Aussie Rules at the Olympics (respectfully unhinged), Abbey recounts meeting Lewis Hamilton and his unmatched aura, and we...

Lights out and away we go! As the 2026 Formula 1 season kicks off in Melbourne, we sit down with one of the sport’s most candid and charismatic figures, Guenther Steiner. On the eve of Grand Prix weekend, Guenther breaks down what you really need to know about a brand-new era of F1 — from the end of DRS to the new hybrid electric engines — and weighs up whether these changes will...

This week we're joined by one of Australian cricket’s fiercest competitors — World Cup winner, Ashes star, big‑moment specialist and newly appointed Australian women’s captain, Sophie Molineux. Recorded before Soph was unfortunately ruled out of the Australia–India series with a back injury, this chat dives deep into leadership, pressure and what it actually means to c...

Season Four is officially open! We're back with big feelings, player‑movement grief, winter sport brilliance and a still-burning (though maybe ever so slighty quenched by recent events) ice hockey obsession. From pure joy to a very public fumble, this episode is a reminder of how quickly sport can give you everything — and take it away just as fast.   Harvey Norman love sport. Supportin...

Dear listeners, we’re starting Season 4 exactly how we mean to go on — with an icon, a champion, and a certified third good sport. This week, we're joined by Nina Kennedy, Australia’s greatest ever female pole vaulter and the woman who quite literally stood on top of the world in Paris. We talk champagne rituals, manifesting Olympic dreams, and why success doesn’t actu...

It’s the final stop on our Unofficial Green & Gold journey, and what a way to go out. We're wrapping up Australia’s most successful Winter Games ever, celebrating a medal haul that exceeded all expectations — and delivered plenty of moments that had us yelling at the TV, crying on the couch, and doing some extremely loose medal‑table maths. Harvey Norman love sport. Supp...

We sit down with Jana Pittman: two‑time world champion, four‑time Commonwealth champion, Summer and Winter Games athlete, Aussie bobsled trailblazer, and current medical doctor. Jana takes us inside what it really takes to represent your country across two different Games, two vastly different sports, and multiple phases of life — all while raising six kids and studying medicine. Harvey Norm...

Five days in, Australia’s medal tally is still sitting on zero — but if you think that means nothing’s happened, think again. This episode has everything: heartbreak, hope, chaos, scandal, romance, injuries, style takes, and one Norwegian man who absolutely did not read the room.   Harvey Norman love sport. Supporting Australian athletes at all levels, from grassroots to the...

Two Good Sports is back with another unofficial green-and-gold dive into the Winter Games and what an opening weekend it’s been. We recap the very Italian opening ceremony, the chaos, the glamour, the Mariah‑Carey‑adjacent energy, the logistical quirks, and, of course, which athletes set the tone for Australia’s campaign. Harvey Norman love sport. Supporting Australian athletes at all...

We're back early for this special, unofficial Green and Gold edition. We set the stage for the upcoming action in Italy, breaking down the biggest storylines, emerging narratives and green‑and‑gold moments to look out for as the Games get underway. From early standouts to form lines across Milano and Cortina, this preview gets listeners ready for the weeks ahead. Harvey Norman love sport. Supporti...

In this very special live episode of Two Good Sports, we're kicking off the season early from the heart of the Australian Open! We're lucky enough to be joined on stage by Jordan Smith, the breakout star of the One Point Slam, who opens up about his incredible journey from local Sydney tournaments to Rod Laver Arena — and winning a point against the world number one worth $1 million.&nb...

Georgie is officially unhinged. The Brisbane Broncos are through to the NRL grand final and she’s treating it like her own personal victory lap. Abby’s been strong-armed into a Broncos beanie, the merch has taken over the studio, and somehow matches have appeared on the desk…  This week’s Two Good Sports is a season finale rollercoaster.   Harvey Norman love...

This week on Two Good Sports, we're deep diving into the greatest rugby league match Georgie has ever seen and unpacking the AFL finals chaos, including why Bailey Smith might be your favourite villain. And finally, the most important news: Robert Irwin can DANCE.   Harvey Norman love sport. Supporting Australian athletes at all levels, from grassroots to the world stage for over thirty years...

Filling in for Abby this week is multi-sport tragic, TikTok legend and all-round delight Lavender Baj. Together, we dive into the NRL finals with gusto (and a few grudges), debate club culture at the Broncos, relive the joy of Lachy Ilias’ dancing, and wonder: could the Bulldogs–Panthers grand final be the cultural moment of the season?   Harvey Norman love sport. Suppor...

From Wimbledon dreams on her childhood bedroom wall to Slam finals and a chapter in Ash Barty’s memoir,   Casey Dellacqua has done it all.
