    I do love your podcast every week but 380 had so many laugh out loud moments. (so many).

    A bit embarrassing while sitting waiting for the car service to be done. Who cares!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 401 - Football!
Q: How do you see the World Cup moment influencing the sport's reception in Australia?
There's a strong sense of pride and belonging that cuts across generations and backgrounds, and the media attention helps bring new fans into the fold by framing games as shared cultural experiences rather than niche sports events.
QUICK LISTEN - Six Quick Questions (From Ep 401)
Q: If you were to resurrect the indomitable Elle McFeast for just one more interview show, who would be your dream interviewee?
I would love to have Paul McCartney, then perhaps talk through his writing process and the ideas behind his songs, possibly alongside other writers like Claire Keegan or John Boyne, but Paul McCartney would be the centerpiece of that dream lineup.
QUICK LISTEN - Six Quick Questions (From Ep 398 - with Craig Hutchison)
Q: What was the hardest moment when you missed a big story?
There were occasions when bigger stories slipped through, like the Shane Warne drug ban, and those moments were learning experiences about timing and internal handling.
QUICK LISTEN - Six Quick Questions (From Ep 398 - with Craig Hutchison)
Q: What's the best piece of career advice you've ever been given and who gave it to you?
The advice centered on outworking others and letting work ethic create luck, reinforced by early influences who emphasized consistent effort and discipline.
QUICK LISTEN - Six Quick Questions (From Ep 398 - with Craig Hutchison)
Q: What is the biggest business risk you've ever taken?
We committed to the AFL radio rights and built a set of partnerships that were financially risky at the time, but the move paid off by transforming our business and positioning us at the forefront of the market.
