Nothing like the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games to kick things off! We talk about Australia’s gold medal haul, and the moments that didn't involve silverware but had us glued to the screen. 

With all the excitement on the pool deck, we call good mate and fellow Olympian Leisel Jones to talk about the Australian team’s performance, and get her take on Emma McKeon and Kyle Chalmers. 

Last week an NRL team decided to bring the game into 2022 with a pride jersey, only to have 7 players stand down for the match. In a week full of opinion, Sunday’s episode of Offsiders (ABC iView 31/07/2022) had some of the most considered commentary on the issue. 

When was the last time you learnt something new? Turns out, trying a new sport is apparently fun (even if you’re not the best at it).
