The Howie Games

"My saving grace was I was completely oblivious to what other people expected me to do"  #TheHowieGames | Dan MacPherson is the type of person we love on this podcast.  When he is asked whether he can do something, he says 'yeah, no worries, I can do that', then goes and learns how to do it.  In Dan’s world, this involves things like as a teenager, stepping on to the Neighbours set as an actor, when he wasn’t really one at that point. It means saying yes to starring in musicals, then learning to sing. Being cast as an action figure, then working with special forces type dudes to learn how to fire guns and blow up buildings. Easy peasy!  This is an in-depth look at the life of an actor. From the lows of constant rejection at auditions to the thrill of landing the gig that takes your career to the next level…and plenty of sport as well!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"I came on to bowl at Boxing Day and the whole crowd booed me" #TheHowieGames | Mitch Marsh plays the hardest role in cricket, that of the allrounder. He needs to be a world-class bowler and world-class batsman. When he hasn't been able to meet these lofty standards, the criticism has been brutal. While Mitch fully accepts it, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. Loved by his teammates, Mitch is one of the nicest blokes in cricket. This is a conversation about cricket life in a covid bubble, family history, the ups and downs of a sporting career, dealing with anxiety to perform, the days when it just clicks, and plenty more. I hope after you listen to this, you will forever be in Mitch Marsh's corner, if you're not already. ❤️ ------------- Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
