ATG’s’ with Ben Ikin who actually went from playing on, to commentating ‘Around the Grounds’ (perfect guest for this segment)

‘ATG’s’ with Ben Ikin who actually went from playing on, to commentating ‘Around the Grounds’ – perfect guest for this segment!

One of Ben Ikin many accolades is that he was (and still is) the youngest ever player to play ‘State of Origin’. In fact, if my research is to be believed he played 150 games of rugby league at NRL level, 17 for QLD and 2 for Australia and won one Premiership. Not bad indeed.

His boots have well and truly been hung up now and Ben has spent the last 15 years working as a presenter & writer in the media. In season you can find him on Fox Sports hosting NRL 360 alongside his sparring partner and work husband the respected journalist Paul Kent.

Don’t fear if you're not a sports nut there is way more meditation, motivation and marriage tips than tackling talk on this pod chat.

I met Ben many years ago when we were both working at Channel 9. Not long after that I met his wife Beth who 15 years down the track is still one of my best mates – you must be down for long service leave soon bird!

Now you might think you have Ben pegged from what you have seen and heard from him over the years but think again…. You’ll be quite surprise at some of his answers when you get to my hard-hitting questions at the end of the pod. And did someone say ‘Gangnam Style’.

Ben is honestly a thoughtful, kind, sensitive (his word) and curious soul who I loved chatting with. He also shared a ‘bedroom secret’ – basically he and Beth share a marital bed but don’t share the covers they have a dooner (duvet) and it sounds like the stuff of genius and a great night sleep to me. Enjoy our chat!
