AFL great Jason Dunstall joins Mark Howard for new LiSTNR podcast series

Two big Aussie sporting names are teaming up for a brand new LiSTNR podcast series.

Acclaimed broadcaster and host of The Howie Games Mark ‘Howie’ Howard joins AFL legend and longtime Triple M identity Jason ‘The Chief’ Dunstall for The Howie Games: The Big Five – a fast-paced new podcast built around big opinions and fierce debates.

Across the series, Howie and The Chief will tackle fan-voted Top Five lists spanning sport, pop culture and everything in between – from the greatest athletes of all time and best sports movies, to old-school TV shows and bakery items.

Howard said “If The Howie Games is test cricket, The Big Five is the Big Bash. We know The Chief can be a very passionate man but just wait until we start discussing the best bakery items… this is one of the all-time greats as you’ve never heard him before. These are the fierce debates you have with your crew on who and what is the best of the best!”

Dunstall said “I’ve spent plenty of years talking about footy, but this is a bit different – and that’s what appealed to me. I’m keen to have a bit of fun and unpredictability with Howie and argue about the things that really matter in life. I have no doubt there will be some strong opinions and a few controversial calls.”

Michael James, LiSTNR Head of Sport – LiSTNR, said “After a decade of Howie flying solo on The Howie Games, teaming up with The Chief is the perfect next step. Their chemistry is instant, their opinions rarely align, and the topics are the kind that spark arguments in pubs, workplaces and family BBQs across Australia. And listeners should keep an ear out for a few very special guests who drop in along the way.”

The six-part series will be available every Monday in The Howie Games Podcast feed on LiSTNR, with full video episodes also accessible on YouTube. The series will also feature surprise cameos from some of the biggest names in Australian sport and entertainment.

The first episode of The Howie Games: The Big Five is available now with new episodes published every Monday across the next six weeks on the free LiSTNR app.
