Ashley shoots the breeze with renowned sporting intellect Josh Kay for a second opinion on his list of Top 10 Jewish Australian athletes
During the heady excitement in the aftermath of Jess Fox becoming the first Jewish Australian to win an Olympic gold medal, Ashley Browne offered up his list of the top 10 sport stars produced by the Australian Jewish community.
Like most lists of this nature, they are purely subjective. And they are ripe to be picked apart.
Which is why on the latest Lap of Caulfield Park podcast, Ashley has enlisted the support of his great mate and renowned sporting intellect Josh Kay, for a second opinion on his top 10.
Josh is a sports researcher and producer for the Seven Network and is a key off-screen member of the team that produces the network’s AFL, Horse Racing and Olympics coverage. He also changes teams for a few weeks each January and is part of Channel Nine’s Australian Open tennis coverage.
On the podcast, he and Ashley debate the merits of the top 10 selected and published on Plus 61J, and they also discuss:
- His pathway from sports publicity to sports research
- Working alongside Bruce McAvaney and other legendary commentators
- Having the best sat in the house at the Olympics
- Which are his favourite events to work at
- Advice to aspiring sports media professionals
You can subscribe to a Lap of Caulfield park through Apple Podcasts, Spotify or your other preferred podcast providers.
