Matthew Richardson is one of footy's most likeable characters. After a stellar AFL career with the Tigers, he has transitioned into one of the most popular TV and radio commentators going around. Here, 'Richo' reminisces about his playing days at Richmond, his unlikely media career, the joys of curried sausages and his thoughts on who will win the 2025 AFL Premiership. We also discover his guilty half time treat!

This week's Food Poll is positively oozing with flavour and decadence. Which would you choose ... lemon delicious or self-saucing chocolate pud?

Actor, producer, podcaster, mum, wife and juggler of many roles is Tammin Sursok. We are delighted that Tammin joins us this week with tales of her life and successful career which began in Summer Bay, on TV super soap Home and Away.

Tammin talks about the big move to the US and some not-so-glorious days before landing on her feet and, on at least one occassion, on her head. We discover what Tammin is like in the kitchen, who is on her dream dinner party guest list and her brilliant tip for unsticking your frying pan.

Which brings us to the condiment aisle and the not-so-humble pickle. When it comes to burgers are you a pickle lover or a pickle flicker?

Celebrity chef, author and a man who has travelled the world plying his trade, Tobie Puttock is our guest this week and the kitchen is a space that brings him both passion and pain.

While he can whip up a five star meal that will blow your taste buds away, Tobie is on a mission to eradicate the enormous amount of food we waste every single day, and it starts in our own kitchens.

Tobie takes us on his amazing food journey, from the early days in a Carlton cafe cooking calamari to opening restaurants with Jamie Oliver, and now - reinventing what might be thrown out into a sustainable and practical pantry staple. Making a difference is not rocket science nor brain surgery, and Tobie shares tips on what we can all do.

The Food Poll this week is full of fatty, buttery goodness. Or is it? What's your take on the humble avocado?

Our guest this week is Stephen Comey, one of the heart throbs of eighties television in Australia when he starred as Kevin Palmer in the long running super soap Sons and Daughters.

Thesedays, Steve still treads the boards occasionally but has carved out a long and successful career in event management. We reminisce about those heady days of TV glory - from winning a Logie to recording an album and even being in the Guinness Book of Records.

The Food Poll this week is from left of centre and head over apex as we pit apple strudel against the wonderfully retro pineapple upside down cake.

Titus O'Reily is full of it, in the nicest possible way. When it comes to colourful stories from the wacky world of sport, Titus is the man with a treasure trove of amazing yarns and he shares some of the best with us in this episode.

Titus' dream dinner party guest list will astound, amuse and amaze you.

It's another offal flavoured Food Poll - what's your take on the classic steak and kidney pie?

It is a sweet showdown on the Food Poll this week with an animal twist. Do you prefer snakes or Bertie Beetles?

Dr Joanna McMillan is a PHD qualified nutritional scientist, dietician and heath and wellbeing expert, but the self-confessed science nerd is a breath of fresh air because she talks about food in a way we can all understand and relate to.

A television and radio favourite, Joanna chats about her early years growing up on a Scottish farm, the importance of good gut health and the real story behind our coffee habits.

Looking after ourselves and the planet at the same time is Joanna's passion and she shares her thoughts and philosophies on some of the easiest ways to achieve both these goals, including making the best choices when buying seafood.

Joanna's dream dinner party guest list is a stunner, as is her kitchen tip and she reveals the truth behind her popular My Day on a Plate newspaper column.

The Food Bytes Food Poll this week spotlights the humble pea in all its cooked and raw glory. Do these green balls of flavour get the tick or the flick?

Analiese Gregory is living the dream - her dream - and it involves many personal and professional challenges that most of us would baulk at.

When we first spoke to Analiese nearly four years ago, she was beginning her new life in Tasmania, not knowing what was ahead or whether she would stay or go. She stayed, as we will all see in the new season of her television series - A Girl's Guide to Hunting, Fishing and Wild Cooking (SBS on Demand, SBS Food).

Analiese shares the highs and lows of her adventure, including the moments of doubt and her plans for the future.

Our Food Poll this week is another savoury v sweet choice. Are you a cheese and chive or blueberry muffin kind of person?
