  • Time to unfollow

    Have always loved listening to LOB each week. There have been a couple of guests where their politics has made me switch off, but your interview with Seb Costello has been made unfollow for good. Enjoyed it up until the pro-Christian, pro-One Nation, anti-migration chat started. Good journalists present a balanced view. I’m done.

  • Harrison is great Brian is a flog

    he Life of Brian has moments of genuine warmth and insight, particularly when Brian’s son Harrison is given room to speak. Harrison is thoughtful, measured, and often the most grounded voice in the room—he brings balance, curiosity, and a sense of perspective that really lifts the show.

#147 Kevin Sheedy - AFL Royalty
Q: What is something you look back on in your career and think is one of the proudest things you've been involved in?
Sheedy said his proudest achievement was helping establish AFL SportsReady, which uses a finals-ticket surcharge matched by government funding to support young people in jobs and traineeships.
#147 Kevin Sheedy - AFL Royalty
Q: What inspired you to bring the Dreamtime game into the AFL every year?
Sheedy said the lack of Aboriginal players in Victorian football was unfair: fewer than 30 had played in a century before Michael Long, while around 400 were drafted afterward. He described Dreamtime as a way to recognize Indigenous football and encourage stronger pathways.
#146 Stephen Conroy - Former Australian Minister for Communications
Q: If you're in charge right now, and I'm talking just on this issue, what is a thing that you would be putting in place or urging your...
Conroy says people must remain involved in AI oversight and warns against relying on companies to police themselves. He advocates stronger safeguards, citing past examples of technology companies collecting data without users' knowledge.
#146 Stephen Conroy - Former Australian Minister for Communications
Q: What are the most common misconceptions about politicians?
Conroy says most politicians enter public life hoping to improve the country, and that media coverage often emphasizes bad news. He acknowledges that some are motivated by power, but argues that many have policy goals and a desire to serve.
#144 Mark Skaife - Australian Motosports Legend
Q: What was your experience taking Holden Racing Team through the ownership transition and keeping people employed during that period?
Skaife reflects on the emotional and operational challenge of taking over Holden Racing Team after the receivership, maintaining staff, and partnering with executives like Craig Kelly to stabilize the program, while acknowledging that the period shortened his driving career but was essential to preserve the team's legacy and supporters.
