The Howie Games

He really is one of our favourites, and he returns for a thoughtful and revealing Next Chapter conversation.

We move beyond the traditional player story (you can also catch him in episode 73), Vaughany reflects on leadership, resilience, health, and the personal experiences that have shaped his life after cricket. He delivers a sharp take on the Ashes, discusses professionalism, team culture, and why England’s future may be closer than many think.

There is clear affection when he speaks about Australia, but the episode also explores very serious moments.

Honest, measured, and insightful, this is Vaughany at his most reflective. And we love him for it.

One of The Howie Games favourites. Our adopted Pom... he is always full of wit, insight and experience. And this is no different. 

Vaughany first joined us back in July 2019 (Episode 79)… and back then, we didn’t even get to a Player Profile.

So before the next chapter with Michael Vaughan, here’s your chance to get to know the man a little better... and enjoy a few laughs along the way.

He won’t disappoint.

A fearless Australian who dared to dream big, and fly even higher!

Alisa Camplin's journey to Olympic Gold is as equally beautiful as the moment she saw her name flash up as an Olympic Champion... in full, it's almost unbelievable. And she tells it brilliantly. 

From the young girl whose Olympic dream became an all-consuming pursuit, to the brutal reality of aerial skiing, which really is one of the most fearless and physically punishing sports on the planet,  Alisa opens up on the risks, the injuries, and the relentless drive required to reach the top.

We rewind to Salt Lake City, 2002. The playlist in her ears, the nerves building, and the world suddenly very quiet as she stands at the top before her gold medal jump. What follows is a breathtaking, step-by-step retelling of the flight, the landing… and the surreal moment she realised she was an Olympic champion.

Raw, reflective, and deeply inspiring, this is a story of courage, resilience, and rising when it matters most.

Alisa is the Chef de Mission of Australia’s Winter Olympic team competing from February 6–22! It's a once-in-a-generation squad blending five recent medallists with exciting teenage talent. Leading with a focus on camaraderie, Alisa is determined to help every athlete, from podium hopes to debutants, perform at their very best.

Come on you Aussies!

A winter sporting trailblazer! Alisa is an Olympic gold medallist and current Chef de Mission for Australia’s Winter Olympic team, leading the next generation on the world’s biggest stage.

Her full story shows why she is one of the toughest, most resilient guests we have ever featured on the Howie Games. But first, we have some fun as we discover a self-confessed science nerd who loves history, and can knock out a mean Excel spreadsheet — or serve ice cream with equal confidence. Plus, her love for Collingwood. 

Alisa is Chef de Mission of Australia’s Winter Olympic team, which takes on the world from Feburary 6 to Feburary 22. It is a once-in-a-generation mix of experience and youth, with five recent Olympic medallists, exciting teenage talent, and 26 World Cup medals this season showing we belong on the world stage. As Chef de Mission, Alisa Camplin will be building camaraderie and focusing on helping every athlete — from medal contenders to first-timers — deliver their best performance.

Come on you Aussies!

From cross-country carnivals to the Olympic podium in Paris, Jess Hull’s rise is one of Australian sport’s great stories.

This one is a powerful conversation as Jess reflects on the years of unseen work that took her from school athletics to becoming an Olympic silver medallist and one of the fastest women in history.

From Wollongong to breaking Oceanian records, NCAA success at Oregon, the pressure of the world stage, and what it takes to keep pushing the limits of her performance. It's a career built on belief and discipline.

But beyond the medals, this is about mindset, resilience, nutrition, recovery and staying grounded while chasing greatness.

She is an Aussie legend already, and she is destined for even bigger things.

Our Aussie Olympian who keeps running past the limits!

Howie sits down with one of Australia’s toughest and most consistent middle-distance runners, Jessica Hull. And before we tap into the mindset and the big moments, get to know this absolute star. 

Her smile is enough to brighten anyones day.

A Player Profile with Jessica Hull, one of Australia’s great endurance stories, told the Howie Games way.

From a country town in New South Wales to the bright lights of the NBA, Jock Landale’s path has been anything but ordinary. It’s a story shaped by perseverance, self-belief and a deep connection to where it all began.

Jock speaks candidly about what it means to represent Australia, the mental edge that powered the Boomers to their historic first Olympic medal, and how that moment changed the way he handles expectation and pressure. Plus the big NBA deal that came with it.

Now competing on basketball’s biggest stage in the US, there have been setbacks, and plenty of  unseen work, all done with an inner confidence required to trust himself when everything was on the line. 

Honest, reflective and full of insight, this Howie Games conversation delivers heart, perspective and lessons earned the hard way - one you gotta hear from start to finish.
