It’s the coolest thing to be listening in to Play Big - a live sports show on Broad Radio. Especially great to hear some MTC grads sharing their sporting wisdom. You can listen live now on the Broad Radio app.

Hi friends. We've been a bit quiet on here over the summer cos sometimes you need to step away from social media. We've been using that time to get creative about a whole lot of things - starting with a new logo. Thanks to Kel Rowe - one of our fab grads - we will now be flying this gorgeous flag.

It’s incredible to me how quickly the cricket world transitioned from “a woman in the commentary box?! Are you insane?!” to “gee it’s a bit weird having 3 dudes commentating, isn’t it?”
Suggests it was probably well overdue, but it’s also heartwarming how quickly fans embraced it. #ausvind

North Melbourne's #AFLW premiership victory was the culmination of years of tinkering. Their three biggest assets this year - pressure, control, and defence - came together on Saturday night. My last for the ABC this year ↓↓
