The Howie Games

The son of Australian sporting royalty, Jackson Warne is beginning a new chapter inspired by his legendary dad, Shane Warne.

Three years on from his father’s passing, Jackson has stepped behind the microphone to launch Warne’s Way – It's a podcast where he speaks with people from the world of sport and entertainment, unearthing their own stories of THE KING. From late-night Maccas runs to chance encounters at petrol stations, these tales bring Jackson closer to the dad he misses every day.

In this very special simulcast, Howie joins Jackson for Episode 1, diving into memories of life with Shane – the fun, the friendship, and the joy he brought to those around him.

It’s a heartfelt celebration of one of Australia’s most iconic figures, told through the eyes of his son.

Check out Jackson's project wherever you get your podcasts EVERY MONDAY in the Warne's Way Podcast Feed.

The fiercest rivalry in all of sport. Joe takes us inside the history that divides a state, a program, and sometimes even families. It's as fascinating as we have ever heard!

It’s not all football. There’s a 4th of July holiday road trip – a thousand kilometres, a concert, and even a tornado warning. Plus, another polarising topic... Pineapple on pizza… Joe’s verdict? Let’s just say, he’s passionate. Then it’s straight back to the grind, as training ramps up again.

Plus, we check in with fellow Aussie punter Jesse Mirco, chasing one of just 32 NFL spots, and finish with a newspaper article that’ll make you wish you had a brother like Joe.

The College Diaries. The grit, the grind, and.... the laughs… from Ohio State.

From Origin heroics to premiership glory, Darius Boyd has done it all on the footy field. But there’s more to Darius than meets the eye.

Get a taste of the man behind the headlines – sharp, driven, and ready to rip in.

The full episode next week goes deep on one of Aussie sport’s most fascinating (and often misunderstood) figures.

Thanks Darius!

We're going deep inside Ohio State’s legendary football facility – The Woody – with the best tour guide possible... Joe McGuire takes us beyond the field and into the heart of what fuels one of the most powerful programs in college sport.

From early morning coffees to post-practice wraps, burgers, brisket and an ice cream machine, Joe gives us a personal tour through the incredible world of elite-level catering, nutrition, and recovery. This is where calories count, routines matter, and even the waffle machine plays its role.

We step inside the longest corridor in college football, walk past trophy cabinets, film rooms – even the golf simulator, and LeBron James-supplied basketballs.

A must-listen insight into the size, scale, and soul of the Ohio State Buckeyes.

This is content you didn't know you needed!  It's time to properly meet the brilliant minds behind The Grade Cricketer – Ian Higgins and Sam Perry.

From backyard banter to books, podcasts, live shows and a cult-like following, these two have built something far bigger than either could have imagined. It’s comedy, it’s commentary, it’s insight, it’s quality banter… and it’s genius.

You’ll hear how it all started, what keeps the show running, and how two very sharp, articulate and deeply passionate cricket tragics found themselves at the centre of the cricket universe.

We've got more cricket lists than the ICC is ready for. Oh – and plenty of outrageous Grade cricket tales thrown in for good measure.

This was seriously fun! 

And even funner... the boys latest book... Alphas, Champs and Chop Kings, which is now available for pre-order via Booktopia here.

Balancing the demands of big-time college football… and big-time study. Joe takes us inside University Life, Scholarships, GPA's and living arrangements for College footballers. 

It's not just about training, lectures and learning – it’s about player welfare too. Joe gives us a raw insight into the seriousness of concussion protocols, the importance of custom-fitted helmets, and how the program at Ohio State is leaving nothing to chance when it comes to the treatment of it's players.

Plus, a kicking session with NFL punter Cam Johnston. It’s a moment. A test. And a glimpse of what might be to come.

Training intensifies. Competition ramps up. And Joe is bagging a few wins at training competitions as he starts to carve out his place in one of the biggest sporting programs on the planet.

It’s education, it’s elite sport, and it’s all getting very, very real.

We’re taking you way back to 2009 and 2015, to special (and fun) conversations recorded with the legendary Hulk Hogan – long before The Howie Games even existed.

With the sad news of Hulk’s passing, we wanted to share this as a small tribute to a man who left an indelible mark on sport and entertainment.

In the longer conversation, Hulk reflects on the glory days of wrestling, the injuries, the razor blades, Vince McMahon, Rocky III, and the journey from $15 pay cheques to becoming one of the most recognisable faces on the planet.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the millions around the world who grew up watching Hulkamania run wild.

Rest in peace, brotherrrr.

Time to meet the men behind the madness. The voices behind The Grade Cricketer, Ian Higgins and Sam Perry.

What started as a rogue tweet is now a full-blown sporting and cultural phenomenon. Podcasts, books, live shows, viral content … these two have built a beast. 

In this Player Profile, ahead of the full backstory, we start with some banter. In the full episode, past lives are revealed, content kingship is dissected, and the absurdities of Grade cricket (and life) are laid bare, plus, some cricket lists that could shatter the ICC rankings system

These blokes are more than just banter – they’re two of the most interesting, articulate, and switched-on minds in the game today. 

Before we dive into a full-length innings with the lads, have a laugh with Ian and Sam.

We dive headfirst into the billion dollar business of college football.

Our man on the ground, Aussie punter Joe McGuire, peels back the curtain on the machine that is the Ohio State Buckeyes football program. And just like his old man, Joe’s storytelling is full of colour, detail and personality.

We meet his teammates. We hear from the passionate voices around the program. And we go behind the scenes with the Buckeyes’ media team, giving us an exclusive window into the scale, pride and polish of one of the most iconic sporting institutions in the world. Plus, a legendary voice joins the fray – Paul Keels, the voice of the Buckeyes, brings the full weight of Ohio State tradition and emotion to the series for the very first time.

We explore the business behind it all – from stadium sellouts to media deals – and ask the big question: how many of these young athletes actually make it to the NFL?

With draft dreams in the air, and the pressure building, Episode 3 is about big hopes, big money, and big-time college football.
