Every podcast needs a Christmas episode right? No need to get your sleigh bells in a knot, we have you covered with special guest Brian Hennesy visiting the studio to take over the reigns for this very festive edition. That’s right, Brian is back and has been newly anointed as our “Foreign Correspondent” – in this episode he not only asks the questions of Ben, Nikki and Chambers but also takes his mic on the road all the way to North America.

This episode includes some chats from across the Globe with much loved industry legends who are working in the North American market. Listen to Jeff Adam, Josh Basir, Kelly Miller & more!

We hope you are all on Santa’s “good list” and can’t wait to bring you more of “Inside Downunder” in 2025 with some very special plans for Season 2!

This episode is all about the Western state of our beautiful country where we chat with tourism legends Ash Munn and Michael Collins. We explore all the wonderful opportunities and some of the challenges of the tourism landscape in WA and leave no icon of the state unmentioned, you can be sure of quokka, WACA and wine stories aplenty! Both Ash and Michael are leaders within the Skål community in Australia, with Ash serving as the current National President and Michael as the President of Perth. If you are a Skålleague, enjoy some robust conversation about the vision and values both leaders have for driving Skål International Australia forward and if you have only heard whispers about this club called “Skål”, tune in to learn more about what it means to be a Skalleague ….. (Disclaimer – Ben, Lisa & Nikki are all Skalleagues and think it’s an awesome networking organisation to be a part of!)
