Osher Gunsberg is one of the most recognisable media
personalities. He first came to attention as the face of
Australian Idol and the voice of Australia's largest weekly radio
countdown, Take 40 Australia. He continues to be the host
of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette on Channel Ten. Until
recently, Osher was also part of the Breakfast Team and co-host
of Hit105's radio brekky show alongside Abby Coleman and Stav
Davidson. Osher is a keen advocate for mental health
awareness and climate change. He is also the co-creator and host
of Movember Radio for the Movember Foundation, and a director of
the board of SANE Australia.
In this episode #132 w Osher
Günsberg learn about:
His sunrise in Brisbane, Australia with both parents being
doctors. I found his reflections on being a “white immigrant” and
being a muso in a sports school really intriguing
We cover how he found clarity for his career early on,
manufacturing serendipity and how that’s led to incredible
opportunities, not achieving his radio or music dreams,
transitioning to network TV, and evolving his identity including
a name change.
I was surprised to learn radio is much better to host compared to
TV, and really valued Osher’s candour on his battles with
addiction, exactly how he prepares for a TV show shoot (make sure
to note down the 5 D’s and the 6 P’s). I enjoyed asking Osher
about how he balances his public persona with his family role,
and what seeded his advocacy for climate change.
I went into this a little unsure, Osher is a pro at interviews
but he was candid, vulnerable and this is one of my favourite
conversations for sure.
It’s now time to explore your curiosity. Please enjoy!
