Broden Kelly is best known as one of the members of comedy team Aunty Donna. But he's also a mad footy fan who started a podcast called The Footy with Broden Kelly.

With the footy season kicking off in Australia, I thought it would be a good time to look back on my chat with Broden from a few years ago, where we discussed the power of sport, particularly AFL, to unite people in cheering for a common goal. In a world that often lacks connection, sport can provide both social connection and physical movement.

If you're not currently barracking for a team, I'm going to try my best to convince you it's a good idea to start. And if you are already following a team, I'll give you some reasons why it's a good thing (even if other people are telling you otherwise).
