Blair Joscleyne aka MOOG is one half of the global Aussie YouTube phenomenon “Mighty Car Mods”.
He’s also a prolifically talented multi-instrumentalist and composer who has created the soundtracks to hundreds, even thousands of commercials that you could probably whistle.
The Maccas jingle?
If you heard it in Australia, Blair played it.
Same guy.
Not only that Blair is one of the hosts of Top Gear Australia, and alongside JLP and Beau Ryan they are taking this legendary show that was never really about cars and turning it on its head.

Think for a moment, what would happen if you had a dream career, pilot, engineer, drummer - and your family absolutely did not back you in what you were trying to achieve.
You’re a teenager.
They have your best interests at heart, they love you and just want success for you, but you might have other ideas.
Would you try anyway?
That’s pretty much what happened with Ada Nicodemou. For 31 years she’s been on Australian screens, and now she’s on our bookshelves with the release of a new series of books titled “Mia Megastar”, aimed kids 8 and up.
Today she speaks with Osher about her path to success, what keeps her successful, and why books are so important for growing minds.

A few highlights from when Osher spoke with Sylvia Jefferies, an incredibly accomplished journalist and presenter, originally from Brisbane Australia.
Sylvia has a matter-of-fact, get-after-it vibe about her which makes the career success she’s had make perfect sense.
Sylvia is very open about how she juggles family life and home life, also how she has found particularly interesting ways to deliberately work emotional regulation into her day so she’s able to go back home to her kids after a day exposing herself to the unedited grim realities of the world.

Here’s Osher’s three favourite facts about Dr Matt Agnew:
Matt has been busy, heading back to uni to study AI - and on the back of that he’s written a new book “IS MY PHONE READING MY MIND?”
What he has to say today about AI, about the powerfully transformative effect it is already having on education, and democracy - in both positive and negative ways - might just chill you to the bone and give you goosebumps at the same time.
This was recorded a week out from the 2024 US election, so please understand why I’m Osher isn’t commenting on something which is now glaringly obvious to us as a community.
He’s in the past.
It’s simple time travel.
And there’s no better person to speak to about that than Dr Matt Agnew.
Enjoy the show.
