Summary
They say politics and sport don't mix, but Two Good Sports do things a little differently. We wanted to share with a special episode of Two Good Sports with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
After a cheeky DM slide (and a well-placed smiley face), we managed to land the Prime Minister of Australia for a truly epic, unfiltered chat.
We speak about his lifelong love of sport, the wild crossover between politics and play, and of course, his unshakable loyalty to the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Albo shows us he’s not just a sports fan — he’s one of us.
The Two Good Sports podcast is your weekly deep dive beyond the sports headlines. Join leading broadcasters Abbey Gelmi and Georgie Tunny as they break down the biggest sports stories and unpack the human drama.
Whether you’re a casual observer or a diehard fan, you’ll be brought up to speed on the people behind the narrative, why the story matters, and gain a new perspective and better understanding of the issues at the forefront of sport.
