Today we are joined by a bloke who has worked in radio for 25 years, but for most of that time hid a dark secret. 
For any of our listeners in Queensland, chances are you’ll know Ash Bradnam. He’s one of the hosts of the Nova Brekky radio show - Ash, Kip, Luttsy and Susie O’Neill, dad of three kids and a loveable bloke who runs a lot of marathons.
But Ash is also an addict. For most of his life he’s battled with alcoholism. He’s been sober for four and a half years and he now hosts a podcast about it called Addicted. 
Ash is breaking down boundaries and we couldn’t be more proud to share this conversation with you.
Your hosts are Lincoln Lewis & Scott Henderson
The Executive Producer is Elissa Ratliff

Pete Murray: On Carving A Career From Passion . . . and a Killer Body at 53

What happens when you die? It’s a question all of us ask ourselves at some point. But what if I was to tell you there are people who’ve died and come back who believe they know the answer. For those who’ve had a near-death experience, life is often never the same again. More importantly, they no longer fear death.   This was the case with today’s guest, Ash Perrow. In November 2016 the Sydney musician had a near-death experience after routine back surgery went horribly wrong. Before blacking out Perrow remembers a doctor saying “he doesn’t have a pulse”. What happened next made Perrow re-evaluate his view of the world and his place in it and it made him assess his life and what he wants out of it. Hosted on Acast.
