Today we have a special edition for you! WHY IS THAT? Because we are handing the keys over to a guest host today! The guest host is Ben Muell, a Living Sport Advisory Board Member and program mentor, who has spent years working as a sport business professional in the collegiate and Minor league baseball industries. For Ben’s first Living Sport Podcast hosting gig, he chose to take it to the next level and record Living Sport’s first international guest! In this episode, Ben chats with his former colleague and close friend Kate Orme, from Perth, Australia. Kate is currently the Digital and Social Media Producer with the West Coast Eagles Australian Football team. We will dig into what exactly the sport of Australian Football is and how Kate made a career out of it in more ways than one! We have a great episode for you but we can’t ignore the terrible bushfire crisis that Australia is currently going through. These fires have burned more than 17 million acres of land affecting more than 2,000 homes. If you are able, we encourage you to please support Kate and millions of other Australians by making a donation to the Red Cross Disaster Relief of Australia at redcross.org.au. Are you ready to learn more about Kate and the makeup of sport in Australia? Sit back, relax and take a listen to Ben and Kate!
