Footy Legends Lounge: Bevo showcases the personal side of Aussie Rules

Bevan ‘Bevo’ Jones has a new project in the pipeline, with the SA radio presenter and sports journalist preparing to launch a niche Aussie Rules podcast called Footy Legends Lounge.

He’s now on the lookout for guests for the new podcast, which will focus on the human stories behind the game, showcasing the personal side of footy.

The podcast will include conversations with current and former AFL and AFLW players, coaches, club identities and community football figures.

Leadership, resilience, footy culture and mental health and wellbeing will be among the topics explored, through honest, relaxed conversations.

The podcast is a timely one. As Bevo notes, “There’s a real appetite for football content that digs deeper than match analysis and opinion pieces, giving fans access to the human side of the sport.”

“Through my work across podcasting, MC roles, live events and journalism, my focus is on creating high-quality conversations where guests feel comfortable enough to share their story authentically.”

Bevo is certainly no stranger to the world of podcasting.

Last month, he celebrated 8 years of hosting the Legends with Bevo podcast, in which he chats one-on-one with comedians and community figures, charting their journeys – from the highest of highs to the most heartbreaking lows.
