A box turned up today. I knew it was coming. Still wasn't ready for it. Three years of drafts, doubt, deleting whole chapters at 5am, and now it's a thing you can hold. To me, books are magical. UNSCRIPT. The radical act of being yourself. I'll tell you the truth. I sat on the couch and held it to my heart. That's where it came from. Out 29 July. Pre-order now Booktopia, use code BRIGHTSIDE20, get 20% off, and you go in the draw to come watch the show live and meet the team — my way of saying thank you to the people who got in early. AND! Pre-order forward your receipt to christian@christianoconnell.com.au and you also get invited a special live YouTube Show I’m doing just for you, At Home with Christian

What was in every school tuck shop ?

What are the best World Cup podcasts ?

What a trailblazing show this was. Before I started in radio, this was my schooling in how a master like Danny can really play with radios possibilities

One of the greatest sitcoms ever Porridge. The first episode with Godbers first night, and episode 3 A Night In are peerless

Of course Australia has a goalkeeper called Pat BEACH

Have any adult men got posters on their bedroom walls?

I'm 53 but would still love a World Cup wall chart for the bedroom

I've noticed a sad decline YOY of wig and toupee stories on my radio show. This is correlated to the advance in hair plugs & trips to Turkey to get a hair transplant This week I dedicate my wireless time to the heydays of wigs and toupees with an open house for stories about them

Widows Bay is a tv show for the ages

Very sad news about an incredible man. Living inspiration. This was a life of service. When we talk about it’s not about what happens to you in life, it’s what you make of what happens to you in life, Neale’s reaction to his diagnosis to choose selfless service is awe inspiring

This whole Spygate scandal shows a real grassroots need for better spy academies

TOP GUN IS 40 THIS WEEKEND! I remember in 1986 when it came out, queuing to try and get in. No pre-booking and selecting your seats! Pretending to be older than I was to see it The art of pretending to be older than you were! for booze and other forbidden pleasures
