Broadcaster Christian O'Connell on Connection & Being Human

Send us Fan Mail For almost 30 years Christian O’Connell has connected with millions of people live on air by embracing the unscripted moments that make us human. He arrived in Australia a complete unknown and took his Melboume breakfast show to number one in just 15 months. Today he hosts Australia’s first national commercial breakfast show and is the first broadcaster ever to top the ratings in two countries. But the ratings are only half the story. O’Connell is one of the most compelling storytellers in broadcasting — and what he really builds isn’t a radio show, it’s a community. His whole career proves a single idea: authentic connection, not polished perlection. We explore his new book Unscripted, the panic attacks that almost took him off air as host of one of the most successful radio spots in the Country and why he showed kindness empathy and love when confronted by the trauma of the Bondi massacre in Sydney offering his listeners a safe space to be heard and heal.
