  • Todd Carney. Bad boy Toddy comes good | Chiming In EP028
    Aug 24 2025

    Todd Carney was once the undisputed Bad Boy of the NRL.


    Constantly in trouble with police, sacked by clubs and deregistered by the game - Carney struggled with an alcohol addiction and constantly found trouble.


    But things have changed.


    Two and a half years ago, the former Dally M Winner decided he needed help and checked himself into rehab in a desperate bid to save his relationship with partner Susie.


    Today Todd Carney is living a healthy and happy life - giving back to the game and helping others.


    In this episode of Chiming In, the former Canberra, Sydney Rooster and Cronulla star, shares his journey in a polarising discussion - leaving no stone unturned.

  • Tommy Herschell. Changing lives of young and grown alike | Chiming In EP026
    Aug 9 2025

    Tommy Herschell is fast becoming one of the best known names in Australian sport. And he hasn’t had to make a tackle, sink a putt or wield the willow to catch the headlines.


    The founder of a charity called Findyafeet - Tommy and his team run school, sporting and community based workshops for people young and old.


    It provides a platform for people to tell their story, the skills to own their stuff and the tools to shift culture that’s been holding them back from speaking up for far too long.


    Today rugby league stars Nico Hynes, Luke Lewis, Harry Grant, Sam Thaiday and Dale Finucane have all teamed with the charity to lend a hand.


    Other famous athletes including Matthew Hayden, Sam Riley, Mitch and Shaun Marsh, Ky Hurst, Geoff Huegill and many others have also joined the cause.


    This year Tommy has begun working with several NRL clubs and the results have been astounding.


    You will be motivated and moved by this episode of Chiming In which brings a different but emotional perspective to life. Hopefully Tommy’s message may help you as you travel life’s journey.
