February 21, 2024 Craig Huggins
It's amazing how many nice people I continue to meet. I reached out to Craig Huggins to see if he would appear on Favourites.

Enjoy Huggy's story from growing up in Coburg to discovering his passion for radio and his surprising collection of one particular tv show memorabilia.

January 23, 2024 Normie Rowe
We know Normie Rowe was the King of Pop, then that career was killed off when he was sent off to Vietnam, and despite the Anti-Vietnam Vet attitude of the 70s he has still managed to forge a successful career, but what else do you know about Normie? Have a listen

January 17, 2024 Brendan Nottle
Brendan Nottle is the best example I can think of when I hear the phrase "give until it hurts".
