    Sep 10 2025

    Peter Freedman AM is the founder and chairman of RØDE Microphones, the Australian audio powerhouse that revolutionised podcasting and the global creator economy.

    Was awesome to have him in the studio to talk about his life story. Coming to Australia as an immigrant at a young age, experiencing rough bullying, dropping out of high school, going through hell before finding success and ultimately changing podcasting/creator forever. We had an intriguing conversation about A.I.’s future and Australia’s.

An unexpected must listen for myself.

I have always found Mark Bouris interesting and charismatic. His genuine curiosity with his guests leads the conversations in a natural but comprehensive way.
At first I only listened to the guests I knew - but quickly found myself circling back around to listen to the rest.
All walks of life, backgrounds and topics - buts all doing things personally or professionally in a passionate manner.
Definitely recommended!
