Gerard Whateley: Embracing nerves and using them for good not evil

Episode 4: Gerard Whateley Gerard Whateley comes alive when the mic is on but whether he is calling a horserace, covering an Olympics or calling a footy game, he is powered by preparation and just a few nerves, as he says “the nerves show you that it means something to you.” Gerard’s love for sports broadcasting and writing goes back to when he was 13 years old and met his idol and inspiration, horseracing writer Les Carlyon. Since then, he has dedicated his career to that very pursuit, these days as chief sports caller and host of the Whateley program on SEN, co-host of Foxy Footy’s AFL 360 and occasional columnist for the Herald Sun. But dig a little deeper and you will find that Gerard has had his fair brush with Hollywood fame, and the people who inspire him most are found away from the media’s gaze.   TWO AM I Listen Curiously CREDITS   Hosts: Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry   Thanks to our guest Gerard Whateley   To learn more about Gerard: Gerard on Instagram Gerard on X (formerly Twitter) Gerard on LinkedIn Gerard on Wikipedia Links from this episode: Whateley on SEN AFL 360     Find TWO AM I on social media here: TWO AM I YouTube TWO AM I Instagram  TWO AM I Tik Tok TWO AM I LinkedIn TWO AM I LinktreeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
