ICON’s living legend of the game, Scott Pendlebury’s AFL resume is second to none. A two-time premiership player with five best and fairest awards, six All-Australian selections, and the respect of players and fans alike, Pendlebury’s place among the AFL’s elite is unquestionable.

Yet despite his accolades, Pendlebury continues to push the limits of what’s possible, extending his extraordinary career beyond 400 games, a milestone achieved by only five others in VFL/AFL history.

In Pendlebury: Beyond 400, a new LiSTNR original series hosted by Mark Howard of The Howie Games, Pendlebury opens up like never before, sharing intimate audio diaries recorded during pre-season training for his 21st AFL season. Across eight bite-sized episodes, he reflects on triumphs, struggles, and the relentless preparation behind the 2025 campaign.

“These audio entries have been like verbal journaling, slowing down, reflecting, and realising how much work goes into preparing for a season,” Pendlebury says. “I hope fans, especially young players, get an insight into the highs, the struggles, and what it takes to play footy at the highest level.”

Host Mark Howard describes the project as “The Howie Games as you’ve never heard before,  a fascinating, personal look into one of the game’s most disciplined and exceptional players.”

🎧 Pendlebury: Beyond 400 is streaming now on LiSTNR, with new episodes released every Monday and Tuesday across four weeks.
