The Howie Games goes behind the scenes with an AFL legend

What does it take to become one of the AFL’s most enduring and respected players in one of the world’s most physically demanding sports?

In a new, exclusive 8-part series called Pendlebury: Beyond 400, LiSTNR’s The Howie Games podcast goes behind the scenes with Collingwood great Scott Pendlebury.

Pendlebury continues to push the limits of what’s possible, continuing his extraordinary career beyond 400 games – an achievement only five others have reached in VFL/AFL history.

In Pendlebury: Beyond 400, Pendlebury shares intimate and personal audio diaries as he navigates his pre-season training for his 21st AFL season.

Mark ‘Howie’ Howard says “It’s been absolutely fascinating to discuss Scott’s process and feelings as he moves into unprecedented territory in his career. This is The Howie Games, as you’ve never heard before.”

Pendlebury says “These audio entries have been like verbal journaling – slowing down, reflecting, and realising how much work goes into preparing for a season. It’s been great to share this with Howie and I hope fans, especially young players, get an insight into the highs, the struggles, and what it takes to play footy at the highest level.”

The first episode of ‘Pendlebury: Beyond 400’ is available now on LiSTNR. Episodes will be released on Monday and Tuesday across the next four weeks.
