Conviction by CONVICTS

In this episode of Conviction, Josh opens up on managing the highs and lows of an 82-game NBA season, and how a rough stretch in his first year in Chicago taught him to find things to do outside basketball. He talks about growing up in a basketball family, with parents who both played professionally and a dad who coached him until he was 18. He also defines the spirit of Australia, explains what it's like being the Aussie in an NBA locker room, and why the Boomers play for the green and gold with no pay and are chasing Olympic gold after the heartbreak of Paris.

We also get into NBA tunnel fashion, designing his Puma signature shoe, building Courtside, his one-stop athlete space in Port Melbourne, a Melbourne coffee and dinner guide, and what hearing an Australian accent on a Qantas flight does to his heart after months away.

Conviction is a podcast from Convicts about Aussies living abroad and the spirit that sends us overseas to chase our dreams. Brought to you with support from our mates at Qantas.

Cody Simpson has lived a few different lives. Teen pop star at 13. A decade in the music industry. Then, in his early 20s, he walked away to chase a dream he'd put aside years earlier: making the Australian Olympic swim team.On this episode of Conviction, Cody talks about hopping fences to train in empty pools during COVID lockdowns, getting mentored by Michael Phelps, and missing his Paris Olympic qualifying time by a fraction of a second. He opens up about what it takes to bet on yourself publicly, why the first three to six months of any new pursuit are the hardest, and how growing up on the Gold Coast shaped his approach to music and sport.We also get into songwriting, his new record, the Aussie spirit, coffee orders, and what it's like sitting between James Dean and Bob Marley on a flight.

We’re talking dino-apocalypse, wild parties, and saving the world—prehistoric style.
In this episode, we chat with CONVICTS’ very own Friday-fried writer Cam Higgins about Save The Dinos!—an original animated series where a crew of young, reckless, hyper-evolved dinosaurs somehow survive the meteor that wiped out the rest... and now they’re the only ones who know extinction is coming again.

Can they out-party, outsmart, and out-run the oligarchs, misinformation, and tech overlords threatening their species? Maybe. Maybe not. Either way, it gets weird.

Tune in for behind-the-scenes chaos, creative inspiration, and a ton of prehistoric philosophy.
