In a landmark move for Australian radio, The Christian O’Connell Show will launch nationally from 2026. “When I moved here seven years ago, I dreamed of building a national show – one that could connect with people all over Australia. A show from our corner of the dial where people can feel united wherever they are, bringing people together through shared stories, laughter, and something real.” “This isn’t a show about gossip or stunts. I want to offer something more: a real alternative in the mornings. Something built on heart, humour, and human connection — not noise” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“I had a great time at the home of the North Melbourne Kangaroos learning all about this celebrated club that might not have all the bells and whistles, but it's got ticker, tradition, togetherness, and heart. I love what this club is about, and the only way is up and looking forward to seeing what the AFLW team can do after winning the flag last season. This is a club I can get behind. Come on the Shinboners!" - Alex CullenSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
