    Background noise is distracting
    Sounds like he’s cleaning the kitchen and making sandwiches. Hearing the wife and dog is odd. Super distracting from otherwise awesome content.

    Bruce McAvaney
    Hey Howie I re-listened to your Bruce interview. He is the best broadcaster in the last 50 years. The Howie asking questions of episode thirty something isn’t near as good as the latest episodes. Can you do Brice again and dive in as deep into as you now do. He’s the best there ever was, lets hear with Howie 2021 asking questions.

    Best thing I’ve listened to since Clarke’s took two wickets in the last over at the school
    I think it’s brilliant. Love the stories have listened to most twice. Just be careful with the jarrod Lyle episode. Found myself driving along the i80 in California balling my eyes out. Good stuff howie.
  • TheAussieBT
    Wonderful modern story telling
    Most of the time we see only a 30 second piece in the news about these moments. To be able to get the real inside story is just fantastic.

    Hooked
    I am an Aussie living in the US. A good mate of mine told me about the Howie Games. Listened to the Gilchrist and Fanning interviews. Outstanding. Looking forward to listening to them all. I am hooked.

    GREAT STORIES WELL TOLD
    Well done Howie, really enjoying these. your relaxed manner rubs off on your guests and they open up and tell stories many of us have never heard before. Also really enjoy the work of the Penguin and the Pickle. Keep em coming. Cheers.

    Get on board!
    I'm thoroughly enjoying The Howie Games. As an Aussie living in the US I heard about the podcast while listening to the mmm hot breakfast podcast. Mark Howard is great at what he does - in each of the first 3 episodes, he's allowed Adam Gilchrist, Danny Green and Fev to settle in and share some truly amazing insights in to their sporting and private lives. Keep up the good work, I hope more people get on board and support you!
