Episode Summary: 


In this brand-new format for the Sport Is Life podcast, Ian Hawkins is joined by close friend and former Fox Sports colleague Ben Norris for the first instalment of The Week in Review. Together, they bring both serious takes and plenty of laughs as they unpack the biggest sporting stories of the week. 


From the viral US Open incident where a grown man snatched a hat meant for a child, to Chrissy Sandow’s struggles off the field, to the EPL’s biggest clashes and standout moments for Aussie players abroad, Ian and Ben dive into the highs, lows, and lighter side of global sport. They also touch on the cycles of success and decline at powerhouse clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool, drawing comparisons with lessons from NRL clubs like Penrith and the Storm. 


This new short-format series blends opinion, analysis, and humour perfect for fans who love sport but also want to see the human side behind the headlines. Whether you’re into footy, tennis, basketball, or football, this week’s conversation promises insights, banter, and a fresh way to wrap up the week in sport.
