## Caption

Meet David Basheer, one of Australia's most accomplished sports broadcasters and the lead football commentator at SBS 

He is the voice Australians have heard call 11 FIFA World Cups, 6 Olympic Games, Champions League, La Liga, Formula One, Commonwealth Games, the Tour de France, and Grand Slam tennis. He's also a lecturer at La Trobe University teaching the next generation of commentators, and co-hosts a business and sport podcast with Bruce Media.

What makes Bash's story so useful for career swappers is that he didn't start in sport. He began with a Bachelor of Business, pivoted into journalism mid-degree, landed a cadetship at the ABC, and built his way up by answering phones at a radio station and volunteering to call state league football, long before anyone was paying him to call a World Cup.

🎙Episode #356 of the SportsGrad podcast out now wherever your get your pods.
