BROS AND CONS

Four brothers, one conversation and a whole lot of pride!
On our latest episode of Bros and Cons, the four brothers sit down to break down the Australia vs New Zealand rivalry, the reactions and everything that comes with representing our people.
Before getting into the action, we take a deeper look at Māori and Polynesian identity, Australian culture, and what makes Tongan culture so unique. From traditional Tongan dances to the influence of our culture across the sporting world, we cover it all.
We also open up the conversation with a LIVE Q&A, hear Spencer speak out, discuss the NRL and its connection to our culture, and finish with some song covers.
This is more than just Australia vs NZ. It’s about identity, brotherhood, culture and the communities that bring us together.

THE UNDERCOVER COP WITH A DEATHWISH | TODD MAGUIRE aka DONNY WILSON
What happens when a man who has lost everything begins taking risks that could cost him his life?
In this powerful episode of Bros and Cons, we sit down with former undercover police officer Todd Maguire, who operated under the name Donny Wilson and lived a life few people could ever imagine.
Behind the badge was a man carrying deep personal pain. In his mid-20s, Todd experienced the devastating loss of his girlfriend to suicide, a tragedy that forced him to question life, purpose and everything he once believed.
We explore the experiences that shaped him, his journey into the dangerous world of undercover policing, and the risks he took while operating in environments where trust can be the difference between life and death.
But this conversation goes far beyond policing and crime.
This is an emotional conversation filled with powerful messages, unexpected laughs and moments that will make you stop and think.
Despite the differences between the people on either side of the law, there are human stories that deserve to be heard. This is a rare opportunity to hear perspectives that are not often brought together in mainstream media.
Todd has also written a book about his experiences, with the possibility of the story making its way to the big screen.
From tragedy to purpose, from the world of undercover policing to an unexpected connection with former criminals this is a conversation about the human being behind the story.
🎙️ Welcome to Bros and Cons — real conversations, raw experiences and stories that challenge the way we see the world.
