    This week’s AFL headlines have been all about the Izak Rankine case.. bans, appeals, and endless legal back and forth. But beyond the footy chatter, the real issue is being overlooked: the impact of homophobic slurs. Christian hands the mic to Rio, a lifelong AFL fan and gay man, who shares why the debate over “weeks vs. games” misses the point and how these words shape culture, silence players, and push fans away from the game they love. A powerful, personal conversation about accountability, inclusion, and why actions matter more than punishments. This episode discusses homophobic language and the impacts on the LGBTQ+ community.

    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.
