Rog

In this episode of Rog, I’m joined by my long-time high school best mate and Div 12 Ressies teammate, Michael Allen. Michael is one of the funniest blokes I know, but he’s also one of the most honest, raw, and vulnerable people I’ve ever met. For as long as he can remember, he’s battled with anxiety and mental health challenges — and this year in particular has tested him more than ever. Some days...

I’m joined by my great mate, former housemate, and Division 12 Ressies teammate — Will Taylor.

These days, he’s a host on the Monday Magnets podcast with Ball Magnets , making people laugh and sharing his love for sport. Will opens up...

This week on Rog , I sit down with Terry Dehghani , the founder and host of Blue Abroad — the most passionate, raw, and beloved Carlton Football Club fan channel on YouTube.

Blue Abroad is a community — a space where Carlton supporters come together to ride the highs, mourn the lows, and make sense of the chaos that comes with loving a c...

Beyond the mic, he plays a key role producing content and helping drive partnerships for the platform. But his journey into the industry started far from the spo...

Tricky Mac built a cult following in Melbourne the old-school way — burning CDs of his wild raps and dropping them on cars at festivals, shopping centres, and uni car parks. Some hated it. Others got obsessed. Enough loved it to pack out shows and build a loyal fanbase. But in this episode, Tricky Mac reveals something most fans don’t know: he’s playing a character. Offstage, he’s not the sesh-hea...

Now full-time creators and the brains behind a growing content agency, Dos and D have bu...

This week on Rog, I’m joined by Checkers and Srey — the brains behind the viral footy content machine, Marmalade. You might know them as the blokes who somehow turned drinking choccy milk and watching the footy into a full-time job… but there’s a lot more to the story.  We chat about: •Life in the Div 12 Ressies •What it really takes to build a fanbase from scratch •The behind the scenes grind •An...

This week on Rog, I sit down with the legendary Toni Tenaglia—the #1 lunchtime radio host in Australia and a true pioneer in the industry. With over three decades behind the mic, Toni’s voice is a staple of Australian airwaves, currently dominating the ratings with her afternoon music show on GOLD FM 104.3. From breaking ground as one of the first women to host a solo radio show in Australia to br...

The Top of YouTube or the Bottom of the Mainstream? In this episode of Rog, I sit down with the godfather of AFL YouTube, Caden MacDonald. He’s the pioneer who turned bedroom webcam videos into a full-blown career, paving the way for a generation of creators and proving there was a real audience for footy content online. With nearly 100k YouTube subscribers and collaborations with the biggest name...

In this episode of Rog, I’m joined by Victoria Samuels — cohost of the Tori and Mine podcast and co-creator of the Trine by Tori and Mine Catch Up Club. Victoria opens up about the challenges of becoming a young mother, and the journey of balancing the demands of raising children while still nurturing her passions and hobbies. We dive into how she’s created spaces, both online and offline, that em...

In this episode of ROG, I chat with DJ and producer Mikey D. We talk about his shift from being a content creator without much direction to finding his place in the music scene—headlining shows and playing the New Year’s Eve countdown set at NYE on the Hill. We get into what that transition looked like, how it actually felt to be up there on New Year’s Eve, and what it takes to keep momentum going...

The big Rog debut! Cameron Muratore quit his day job to dive headfirst into stand-up — and it’s paying off. Now a RAW Comedy National Finalist and gearing up to perform his show Snake Eyes (alongside Mort) at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Cam joins me to talk all things comedy hustle. We chat shit about the highs of crushing, the sting of bombing, and what it’s really like grinding...
