This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the
major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including; Brian
& Tania’s ‘big’ 4-day holiday, AFL trade period
wrap-up, a Melbourne Marathon discussion, another
Reading.Watching.Listening, and plenty more. Their guest this
week is former Federal Minister for Labor, Stephen Conroy who joins
the boys for a wide-ranging, relaxed chat covering politics, sport,
technology and where Australia is heading. After 20 years in
federal politics, including serving as Senate Leader and Minister
for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Stephen has
seen plenty from the inside. He shares what life in politics is
really like, some of the biggest misconceptions people have about
politicians, and what he learned about human nature during two
decades in the thick of it. The conversation turns to some big
questions facing society right now - whether the social contract
between generations is breaking down, the growing influence of the
tech giants, our addiction to technology and the challenges AI
presents. Stephen also reflects on the state of Australian
politics, cost-of-living pressures, housing affordability and our
relationship with the United States. There’s a fascinating
discussion about the future of sport on television, too. Having
been involved in both buying and selling sports broadcasting
rights, Stephen gives his perspective on streaming, the changing
media landscape and how we might watch sport in the years ahead. He
also talks about his time as Executive Chairman of the A-League and
whether politics and sport have more in common than people might
think. A really interesting conversation that covers plenty of
ground, with Stephen offering a candid perspective on politics,
technology, sport and the world we’re living in. This Episode is
