Auscast Inspiration

Nothing is off limits as I chat to one of the most flamboyant footballers and larger than life characters, Warwick Capper aka The Wiz.  

The Wiz shares some classic stories about his footy career, what it was like working with Pamela Anderson and Charlie Sheen, how he's keeping busy during the Covid 19 situation plus much more.  

Language warning, there is a few F-Bombs dropped in the video but nothing to out of the ordinary.

What we can do to help with building tourism in these regions

Thoughts on the future of Virgin Australia.

I, like a lot of people are certainly missing my footy so it was nice to have a footy fix when I caught up with Port Adelaide Football Club's young gun, Jarrod Lienert.

We talked about Jarrod's career so far, social isolation, funny pranks at the club, toughest opponent, his time at Sturt Footy Club

and his thoughts on the idea to have a footy hub in Melbourne.

It was a thrill to catch up on Legends with Bevo for a chat with an inspirational and wonderful ambassador for mental health, Gus Worland from Triple M Breakfast and Dead Set Legends.

We talked about the Gotcha4Life Foundation that Gus has set up and the COLIV-19 initiative and how people can get involved.

Gus also shared his thoughts on the controversy around the NRL's plan to start their season at the end of May and what he thinks about State of Origin Rugby going to different states around Australia.

It was great to also hear a classic story about being in the commentary box for the cricket with Kerry 'Skull' O'Keefe and best mate and actor, Hugh Jackman.

In one of my favourite interviews ever, it was a thrill to recently catch up and have a chat with Corey 'Homicide' Williams.  Homicide won the NBL MVP award back in 2010 with the Townsville Crocodiles and has now become one of the best basketball commentators in Australia.  

We chatted about his illustrious career as a player and a commentator, what makes him and fellow commentator John Casey such a great duo, the Boomers Olympics medal chances in 2021 and Homicide's Twitter feud with NBA championship winner, Andrew Bogut.

I was lucky recently to catch up with a friend of mine who’s one of the loveliest and hard working girls you can meet, Alissa Smith. 

Alissa Smith is a Fox Sports Presenter and she tells a hilarious story about how she had a wardrobe malfunction on national television recently and a classic story about her first date with her partner, former Manly star, Matt Ballin, her experience on one of Australia’s favourite soapies and what it was like as a child to mix with some of the big names of country and western music.
