On the mend from achilles surgery, in this week's Sports Geek Podcast we chat to Robert Squillacioti about how the @Socceroos are connecting with mainstream Australia over 3 weeks trying to qualify for World Cup 2014. Since the NHL Finals we go back into our ABC Grandstand archive with our chat with Dewayne Hankins who at the time was working at AEG Sports with the @LAKings.
Thanks again for the feedback, tag your tweets #SGP I've included some of your feedback on the Sports Geek Podcast page.
More specifically, in this podcast you’ll find out about:
- How the Socceroos are using digital to connect with mainstream Australia
