Neil Mitchell is a journalist, reporter, and media personality. For 36 years he was one of the voices of Melbourne at 3AW, breaking some of the biggest stories and asking the hard-hitting questions to biggest names in the country and world. 

What an honour it was to sit down with Neil for over an hour to hear the amazing stories of his long-running career, inside his world and behind the scenes of the biggest stories broken in this country. 

We were warned that Neil doesn't like talking about himself, but this episode is Neil Mitchell like you've never heard him! You're in for a treat. 

Neil shares some of the highlights of his career like the famous speed camera story, the heartwarming last wish for a dying little girl, his on-air friendships and his connection with his audience. 

Plus, the biggest on-air blues with politicians, the death-threats he has received and the misleading investigation with a well-known sporting personality. You'll hear both sides of the job! 

Neil opens up about the misdiagnosis of his health where he was (falsely) given 3-months to live and how that shaped his thinking around work. As well as his honest thoughts on assistant dying. 

We get to hear about the halls of 3AW, his thoughts on Melbourne, the day he broadcasted on the strongest of painkillers and many more legendary moments. 

Plus, a HOT CoinSpot hotseat returns and the debut of a new segment with Pilot! 

There is simply too much to write about this amazing interview so without further ado, let's get into it. 

Here is the truly legendary, Neil Mitchell!

Majak Daw is a former AFL player, speaker and author. He is the first African-born AFL player who played 54 games for North Melbourne. 

WARNING: This episode contains strong themes of suicide, please listen with caution. 

It was an honour to have Majak join us in the studio to bravely share his incredible story and emotional story. 

Maj is about to share with you a story that will blow your mind. From physically seeing missiles and escaping war-torn Sudan to starting a new life in Australia, it is something nearly all of us can't comprehend. 

He shares what it was like finding Aussie Rules Football and his journey to becoming the first African-born AFL player. 

But in December 2018, Majak had a very public suicide attempt that saw him sustain horrific injury. Maj shares the lead up to the moment, the instant regret he felt, how he was rescued and what he learnt from the experience. 

His long road back to playing AFL is inspiring, and you'll go behind the scenes in the work he had to do and discovering how much he meant to so many of his teammates. 

It is a brave and emotional story which is hard to listen to, but is full of so much hope that we hope you'll see the brightness in. 

We celebrate the other moments of Maj's career like his friendships with North royalty, the relationship with Brad Scott, that debut, THAT speedos photo and of course Man vs Majak! 

This episode has a lot in it and we can't wait for you to be inspired and moved by Maj's story. 

Enjoy the great, Majak Daw!
