Ep #220 - Jason 'Richo' Richardson - The 'Gift' that keeps giving! (Sport)

Join us on Legends With Bevo for a conversation with Jason
'Richo' Richardson who is one of the greats in Australian sports
commentary.Richo tells us about his sports crazy childhood, his
thrilling win in the 1993 Stawell Gift and how a job in
sunglasses sales sparked his career into sports commentary.


Along the way he reflects on his time as a track and field
competitor, the heartwarming story of how he met his wife, Kate
Anderson and working with some of the greatest cricketers of all
time. Richo’s running career saw him race with the greats of
track and field, Ben Johnson, Carl Lewis and train with
Australian Olympic legend, Cathy Freeman. His move away from
competition and his obsession for all things sporting has been
turned into a career that sees him working alongside one of his
childhood heroes, Bruce McAvaney. His love of sports and his
stories on and off the field give us a glimpse into the sporting
world few have been able to experience.Thanks so much to Richo
for giving up his time, to the great man James Tzaferis for the
