Deadset Studios signs 3-series deal with Sportish podcast

Deadset Studios has signed a 3-series deal with the Australian podcast Sportish, hosted by three-time Olympian Libby Trickett and community sports advocate Georgie Trickett.

Sportish is a weekly podcast that discusses sporting moments that cross into mainstream culture, with a strong focus on active living, participation, and female perspectives.

Sportish connects with listeners through its podcast, social channels, and community outreach programs such as the weekly Sportish Swim Club.

Deadset Studios is an award-winning podcast/vodcast production house led by strategist Kellie Riordan, who was previously the founder of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s dedicated podcast team.

Under a new deal announced in March 2026, the two companies will co-produce three seasons of

Sportish, as well as producing associated content, live events, vodcasts, and community activations.

The first series of Sportish co-produced under this new deal is powered by the Australian Sports Commission.

The new 8-episode series launches on 4 March 2026 with both a podcast and video episode with Wimbledon champion Ash Barty. Other guests in this series include Hugh van Cuylenburg of The Imperfects podcast, AFL great Adam Goodes, Paralympic swimmer Ellie Cole and mindset coach and author Ben Crowe.

Libby Trickett said “We’re thrilled to work with Deadset Studios on the newest series of Sportish, unpacking the relationship many high-profiles Aussies have with sport. Already having their expertise has allowed us to expand to video episodes and we’re hoping to grow further.”

Georgie Trickett said “Brands understand that partnering with podcasts gives them access to opportunities in vodcast, social, and live events and we’re thrilled to expand Sportish along these lines with the support of Deadset Studios.”

Creative Director of Deadset Studios, Kellie Riordan, said “We’re increasingly working on shows where the opportunity beyond podcasts excites us. Sportish already has an engaged audience base and we’re excited to work with Libby Trickett and Georgie Trickett on a range of projects across many content verticals.”
