G’day, you mob! Join me and my dad, Ian Smissen, as we chat about what’s happening in Australia and all over the world!

So, if you’ve been following the podcast for some time now, you might have heard me talk about the phrase “doing a Bradbury.” It’s a super cool Aussie saying that comes from the story of a guy named Stephen Bradbury, who did something amazing at the 2002 Winter Olympics. We’ll spill the beans on what this saying means! We will also chat about how phrases like this become a big part of a country’s way of talking.

Then, we’ll take you on a little adventure into some unusual things people do in other countries. Like in Japan, they have a thing for keeping old, seemingly useless stuff as art – how cool is that? We’ll also chat about quirky hobbies and following your heart. And you won’t believe it, but Stephen Bradbury did something heroic recently by saving four people from drowning while he was out surfing. It’s like a real-life “doing a Bradbury” moment!

Ever heard of the saying “Buckley’s chance”? We’ll explain what that means, too! And we’ll even talk about expressions named after people, like “doing a Beamon,” – listen out for that!

So, get ready for some easy-breezy, friendly Aussie chat – you’re in for a treat today!
