He joins Nic Hayes on The Expert's Podcast this week to discuss how his cancer diagnosis brought him closer to the South Australian community, how he uses his media profile to advocate for the work of the Prostate Cancer Foundation Australia and what's it's like sitting on the desk with Alice Monfries on the weekends.

The changing ways we consume news media
Why he always wanted to be in television
