HALF-TIME HUDDLE: Interview with NRL cult hero Brandon Smith (aka Hectic Cheese)

Hello and welcome back to Chicks & Balls The Podcast: A Sports Podcast by Women about more than Women’s Sport. Today we’re bringing you our fourth Half-Time Huddle interview!These episodes are bonus conversations with some of our favourite Aussie athletes and sports insiders - and this one features a chat with a cult hero and real character of the NRL, Melbourne Storm star Brandon Smith. You might know him by his iconic nickname 'Hectic Cheese' and you're probably familiar with his off-field humour and playful antics, but what you might be surprised by in this chat between him and Georgia - who also happens to be one of his closest friends - is the lesser known side of Brandon that's made him the superstar player he is today - that of an unrelenting hard-worker, who's determined to continuously bettering himself.Georgia and Brandon cover what led to his start in the NRL, what the bubble life was like in 2020 and have plenty of laughs in between. It's an absolute cracker! And a massive shout out goes to Georgia - as this is her very first solo interview (and she's killed it)!Thank you so much to Brandon for making the time to come on and share!. . .If you’re enjoying the show please follow or subscribe wherever you’re listening right now, and if you know someone who’d like this chat, share the ep with them too!We’ll be back in your ears with our regular weekly ep on Thursday!Follow us on IG: @chicksandballspodFollow our hosts on IG: @marlee.silva @keelyysilva @g.moore The best way to support us & the show?
