In this compelling episode of The Leisel Jones, Liam & Spida Podcast, the team take you on a nostalgic, insightful, and at times heavy-hitting journey. They begin with throwback tales ofunforgettable school excursions.. including waving at the Queen (or maybe just a random car for Spida). But the tone shifts as they dive deep into Australia's rising costs of living, with a powerful discussion around which financial burden they'd erase for Aussies - from student debt to free junior sport access.

Then, the conversation turns serious with former Gold Coast Police Superintendent Jim Keogh, who reflects on the infamous Broadbeach Brawl and sounds the alarm on the resurgence of bikie gang violence. From youth crime to organized drug and tobacco wars, Keogh pulls no punches on what needs to be done, and fast.

Laughs, memories, hard truths.. this episode covers it all. A must-listen for anyone who cares about community, safety, and the future of the Gold Coast.

This episode of the Leisel Jones, Liam & Spida Podcast is a rollercoaster - from hilarious debates on the one Aussie town you’d holiday in for 10 years (spoiler: Larimer’s pies and mystery make a strong case) to surprising cover songs that might just beat the originals (hello, Chris Cornell’s “Nothing Compares 2 U”).

But it also takes a heartfelt turn. As we mark Men’s Health Week, Liam opens up about losing a close friend and the real, raw truth behind mental health struggles men face. If you or someone you know is doing it tough, this conversation might be exactly what you need to hear.
