Dinner with Winston Churchill, swapping jobs with Elon Musk, Perfecting a Japanese Katsu Don and watching The Goodies. Fall back in love with the real James Hird.  

James is arguably the best ever player to ever don an Essendon Football Club jumper. In recent times he has been to hell and back and to see him smile and hear him laugh was really special.

His story of resilience and strength is powerful for us all.

We have been very privileged on this podcast to hear some tremendous stories of courage.

Karen Tighe's story sits comfortably with those tales. A wonderful ABC sports broadcaster, Karen contracted encephalitis, which causes inflammation of the brain. One of the side effects is memory loss. As a broadcaster, your recall for names, dates and places is imperative.

Karen's journey back to broadcasting is one to inspire us all. ❤️

He was born in Texas, but landed in Melbourne and never looked back. He is one of the most remarkable stories the AFL has ever seen. 

The American Pie has wowed the jam packed MCG on the biggest of occasions, and he is grateful for every second of it. Not bad for a bloke who didn’t know how to hold a football before flying to Melbourne to sign on the dotted line. 

This tall intelligent human is a deep thinking, fun loving, curious and interested…. Aussie. That’s right, the Big Tex is an Australian Citizen. He is even making waves on his new Podcast, the Mason Cox Show. 

Tune in, as we go around the world with Mason Cox. A story that Steven Spielberg would be proud of.

Mason Cox is the first American to ever play in the AFL and has a story that will absolutely blow your mind (and put a smile on your dial).

Before we get there though, this is the player profile of The Big Tex.

Oh and you should get your ears around Mason's podcast too - The Mason Cox Show - it's a beauty!
