Steve Price - On The Record

Every October the regional town of Bathurst becomes the centre of Australia's attention when the V8s take on Mount Panorama to compete in the Bathurst 1000. It's the quintessential Australian sporting event and our guest in profile for On The Record this episode won there an extraordinary six times. Mark Saife talks about winning on the mountain, being abused by passionate fans and talks about his near-death experience on the track in Adelaide.

Ross Greenwood is Australia's best known finance commentator, famous for his no nonse approach in explaining how the wheels of businesss actually tick. In this episode Ross shares how he went from a Victorian country kid to owning a business magazine in the financial capital of the world, London.

Andrew Bolt has arguably the loudest media voice in all of Australia. Newspaper columns in the nation's biggest selling papers, a nightly television program on Foxtel and a widely popular blog. A genuine conservative voice who once worked for the Labour party.

Andrew is fearless, well researched and he's not afraid to take on causes others run away from. His work on the case that eventually saw Cardinal George Pell win a court appeal and walk from jail took a particular toll. He's had death threats, been physically attacked in the street but still Andrew Bolt doesn't take that backwards step.

As a young Barrister John Burns struck the jackpot winning $800,000 first prize in lotto. A decade later Burnso hit the jackpot again teaming up on Melbourne's 3AW with Ross Stevenson and spending 20 years at the top of the Melbourne breakfast radio mountain. Stepping down while on top he reflects on a most unlikely media career that sees him go out as a legend.

Rita Panahi describes herself as a migrant woman of colour. Her critics target her as an arch conservative with strong views and she loves the debate. From a frightened child at a school in Iran to a national newspaper and TV star, Rita Panahi is our latest guest for On The Record.

Peter Helliar is one of Australia's funniest people and one of the hardest working personalities. Peter sells out stand-up comedy shows around the country and indeed around the world. He's a children's book author, a TV producer, has his own unique podcast and is my fellow panelist on Network 10's The Project. He's a dad, a husband and perhaps uniquely in media, is a really nice bloke.

Australia has a great tradition of investigative journalism and reporters don't get any better than Hedley Thomas. Hedley famously revealed the horrors of Queensland's Dr Death, operating on people without proper medical training. His latest investigation became a global podcast sensation called The Teacher's Pet resulting in an ongoing court case and it is about to be made into a Hollywood blockbuster.

Kerri-Anne Kennerley is an Australian television presenter, actress, author and singer. In this episode Steve chats with KAK about her last visit with husband John to the Logies and how she cared for him after a tragic accident that left John a quadriplegic. Kerri-Anne is an inductee into the Logie Hall of Fame and currently co-hosts on Network 10's Studio 10.

In the inaugural episode of 'On The Record' brought to you by Nature Bee, Steve Price talks to the ever entertaining yet polarising, AFL legend and former 'Footy Show' host, Sam Newman.

They discuss his passions including priceless art, his $800,000 Shelby Mustang, and look back on the times he nearly died from kidney failure and a near disastrous lift from a drunken woman.

They dive deep into his fascination with Donald Trump, how he believes he has unfairly been branded a racist, and the time he was intentionally run over by his ex-girlfriend.

A wonderful, intimate look at a man you think you might know well.
