Episode 51: Mitch Dyer on Gout Gout, Great Calls & The Road from Runner to the Mic

In Episode 51 of Scoreboard, Chris Titley chats with Mitch Dyer—the voice of Australian athletics in 2025—about calling his way into the nation’s sporting conversation, from viral catchphrases to life-changing commentary boxes.Mitch shares how he went from a distance-running string bean to a carpenter, to a broadcaster chasing races across Europe and sleeping in airports to get his shot. He opens up about working with Bruce McAvaney, learning the art of the perfect call, and the nerves (and instinct) behind “Gout of this world”.From growing up in a family of walkers to standing in a Paris Olympic stadium realising he’d built a life he never saw coming, Mitch reflects on the power of preparation, persistence, and just being yourself—even when the mic’s live and the clock’s ticking.🎤 Grit, gratitude, and the voice behind the vibe of Australian athletics.📌 Subscribe for more athlete and broadcaster stories and insights.Follow us at:w: www.scoreboardpodcast.cominsta: @scoreboardpody: https://www.youtube.com/@Scoreboardpodcastp: Partnership opportunities – [email protected]#sport #business #life #ScoreboardPodcast
