"It was pure terror. I've made this (Olympic) team, what have I done?"

A Howie Games favourite returns! 

Since Cate last appeared on the show, she has won 3 more Olympic medals (2 gold and a silver), dealt with the stresses of a delayed Olympics, rebuilt herself in more ways than one, and continued to attack life. 

In this episode, Cate talks candidly for the first time about how she had to take control of her mental health just prior to Tokyo. Yet another example of Cate's leadership in the community and her importance as a role model. 

Cate and her sister Bronte have a wonderful new book out for the younger audience called "Sister Secrets." 

You can order it below

"I said to the boys I don't want to die here"

#TheHowieGames | From a kid growing up playing all sorts of sport, to a near-death experience in Afghanistan whilst serving his country, to Paralympic glory, Curtis McGrath is one seriously impressive customer. 

In this episode, Curtis lifts the veil on what life is like in the modern Australian army. What training involves, how deployment works and what life was like on the ground in Afghanistan for foreign troops. 

This is a humble man talking about mateship and courage, fear and pain, the spectre of death and the hope of life, and the benefits of never giving in...no matter how dire the situation may seem. 

Curtis has a new book out called Blood, Sweat and Steel. It's phenomenal. You can pre-order now through Booktopia. - https://www.booktopia.com.au/blood-sweat-and-steel-curtis-mcgrath/book/9780733340789.html?source=pla&gclid=CjwKCAjwoP6LBhBlEiwAvCcthHSHS37d0fWAM-IwZzqSysUxfqm1owEhRIszEWxdGCmfB4DGRgkGJxoCp-YQAvD_BwE

Plus, some weird sporting events, and how to build a mega business starting with less than 20 bucks to your name. 

Here's to a road less traveled with Tony Wheeler. ??

#TheHowieGames | Colonel Bob Sheridan has been the voice of boxing for over 50 years. He's called 10,000 plus fights, including the biggest prize fights of all time...

Ali v Foreman in "the rumble in the jungle", the infamous Tyson v Holyfield "Bite Fight", Pacquiao v Horn and countless more. The Colonel goes behind the scenes on all of these fights with some rip-roaring stories.

But the reason Bob has been able to transcend his sport and become a household name to sports fans is because the Colonel is an entertainer.

He's larger than life and bigger than big! He is an old-school broadcaster that prepares immaculately, but when the big moments arrive the notes go out the window and he operates on instinct, letting it all hang out. The Colonel is the man!
