In this episode of the Beyond Broadcast podcast, I speak with New Zealand sports journalist & commentator, Nick Bewley.

Growing up a bit of a nomad Nick moved around during his childhood and early on developed a massive love of sports.

This love started on the field with him lacing up his own boots to eventually follow those who were going on to play at the professional level.

With a furious passion and keenness to get stuck in, Nick managed to score a crucial mentorship gig with a crew of talented journalists who began to help guide him on this initial step.

Throw in the 2011 World Cup and he was well on his way to achieving his dream of working in the industry after getting stuck in.

With a established career in NZ he then went on his big OE in the UK, working for ESPN producing content and travelling.

Despite a few curveballs in the mix, Nick has pivoted and explored other areas of the media sphere and remained adaptable which has seen him thrive in what can be a tough industry in New Zealand.

We touch on how timing and luck can play a part in the journey of a lot of broadcasters, but how his main belief has always been that your best ability is always availability.
