Warriors, Maned Wolves, & Why Ben Fordham Stepped Down To Step Up
When you’ve already reached the top of the mountain, why start a new climb? For Ben Fordham, the move from TV to 2GB was all about the editorial freedom to choose his own stories.
And boy, was that a bet that paid off, securing Sydney’s #1 spot for Breakfast radio. Hear from Ben as he opens up about his late father’s legacy, the "creepy" evolution of his rivals Kyle and Jackie O, and why radio remains the king of immediacy in 2026.
Inside This Episode:
Honouring the Anzac Spirit: We sit down with Martin Shaw (President of Wounded Heroes) and Major David McHenry (Ret.) to discuss the "perfect storm" of triggers facing veterans this year.
A Century of Service: Meet Ron Fell, a 100-year-old World War II veteran who shares his incredible journey from jungle training at Canungra to becoming an SP bookmaker in Rabaul.
The Man Cave: The Vice Captain, Adam McDonald (Aussie Pickers), reveals the secrets of police auctions. Meanwhile, The Coffin Confessor: Bill Edgar returns with a wild tale of the client who offered him $200,000 to be buried with his "treasures".
AI Dogs & Bear Suits: We tackle the bizarre news of Bruce the Border Collie replacing 40 jobs and the "geniuses" who tried to scam insurance companies by trashing a Rolls Royce in a bear costume.
Plus: Why Kelsey’s "spirit animal" is a long-legged Maned Wolf and a listener's Simpsons-inspired meme that perfectly nails Luke's obsession with his V8.
