In this episode, we revisit Christian's experience, the physical and mental toll of his panic attacks as well as the societal pressures and expectations he felt as a man - his need to appear strong and provide for his family.

How he got the title for his new book 'No One Listens To Your Dad's Show'

I promise you will laugh, cry, want to be his mate, buy his new book and follow him on the ‘gram. ‘NO ONE LISTENS TO YOUR DAD'S SHOW' is out now. Don't take my word for it (but if you are interested it is one of the funniest and most moving and uplifting books I have read in ages) take the words of Ricky Gervais, Amanda Keller, Russell Brand and Hamish Blake who all rave about on the book. In 2018 Christian O'Connell was one of the UK's biggest radio stars, had won truckloads of radio awards and sold-out national tours as a stand-up comedian. Christian and wife Sarah made the decision to move their family to Australia for ‘part 2' of their lives and for a new adventure. It was bumpy to say the least but Christian's breakfast show on GOLD 104.3 in Melbourne went on to take out the #1 spot within 18 months and giving the station the best ratings for over 20 years. Making Christian the first DJ to have a #1 breakfast show both sides of the world. “NO ONE LISTENS TO YOUR DAD'S SHOW highlights the hard work and creativity, along with a never-say-die attitude, that ultimately made moving to Australia the best decision Christian and his family ever made.” In other news make sure you hang on for the ‘Hard Hitting' questions at the end of the pod – the funniest answer to date!

Jack Post or Cacklin' Jack as he is affectionately known had humble begins on community radio, before a chance encounter with Hamish and Andy led him to a dream run that currently includes not only the number 1 breakfast radio show in Melbourne, The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show, but also the number 1 podcast in Australia, Hamish and Andy. He often wears the brunt of the jokes, but Jack is much more than just the button pusher. Jack is also a talented musician and forms part of the duo, Release the Sounds and has recently launched his own podcast, Jacky Road Studios. Jack dishes the dirt on Hamish and Andy (who's his favourite??) praises Christian, but does he get the credit he deserves? I was also fortunate enough to work alongside Jack and the Christian O'Connell team when I directed the Heroes Gold beer commercial that raised money for the true bushfire heroes.

Fred & Lisa got to meet Christian O'Connell, 96FM's new nights announcer

This week on the Mumbrellacast, the team reflect on the state of Australia's media industry after it sank to 26th place on the World Press Freedom Index for 2019. Following the raids on the ABC headquarters and News Corp Australia journalist Annika Smethurst and the closure of AAP newswire, is Australia's reputation as a respected home of democratic journalism at risk?The week in adland saw industry watchdog Ad Standards ban a couple of ads. Despite its best efforts to redefine the term 'whipped', frequent flyer Sportsbet copped a ban for an ad suggesting that Prince Harry was pussy whipped by Meghan Markle. And, an ad for Coles' Stikeez collectables caught the attention of the community panel over the question of whether it amounted to pester marketing.And, what is the value of a pre-recorded radio show? Highlights of the Christian O'Connell show will now air nationally on weeknights, and Stevie Jacobs will be hosting breakfast with his links pre-recorded and inserted into the music programming. As budgets have been tightened, is this the future of entertainment on a shoestring?
