The title of Andrew Daddo's latest book could well describe the man himself. The book is called Bitza. Andrew's done bitza television, radio, films, theatre, podcasting and writing in a successful media and showbiz career spanning decades.

Andrew shares his experiences growing up a Daddo, finding his path in the media jungle, discovering joy through writing and an unending passion for golf. It's a fun chat that has bitza everything.   

The Food Poll is a four-way feast of classic entree choices. What would be your selection - garlic bread, arancini balls, natural oysters or prawn cocktail?

The first two  books of Andrew's Bitza series are available now, published by Penguin Random House.   

Presented by Sarah Patterson & Kevin Hillier

It is our pleasure and privilege to have one of the greatest cricketers of all time on the first proper episode for 2026, and 'proper' is the correct term, as our guest is Lord Ian Botham of Ravensworth in the County of North Yorkshire, OBE. But he happily answers to 'Beefy.'

A passionate winemaker, we discover more about his range of Sir Ian Botham Wines and how hands-on he is in every facet of the business.

Naturally, cricket did come up and Beefy shared some strong opinions about the game and the modern players, as well as a scary encounter with our own Mervyn Gregory Hughes in the NT. That isn't the most frightening revelation, though, as his Lordship details his love affair with the Collingwood Football Club.    

It's a pub grub Food Poll to kick off 2026. What is your favourite pub meal ... steak, burger parma or fish and chips?

Lord Ian Botham OBE 

As we sharpen our Ginsus in preparation for a slashing start to the new year, here we take a brief moment to reflect on some of the incredible people who joined us in 2025. 

International television icon Alison Arngrim shared stories of the role that changed her life - playing Nellie Oleson on Little House on the Prairie. She also served us up a very special scrambled egg tip.

Steph de Sousa told us about her MasterChef experiences and how keeping the kitchen as a happy, simple and fun place isn't that hard. What a revelation she was. 

Despite not getting the accolades he thinks he deserves for his kitchen prowess, former Australian cricketer Simon O'Donnell regailed us with his thoughts on the mighty Brussels sprout and what might have been in his sucessful acting career. 

And the final words for 2025 involve Sooshi Mango, meat pies, tinned spaghetti and Hawaiian pizza. What could go wrong?

Best of 2025 Volume Two

As the curtain closes on 2025, a chance to revisit some of the fabulous people we have had on the show this year - and it's a goody bag of guests to delight.

International celeb chef Curtis Stone fondly remembers his early days in the kitchen and its special family connection. Dr.Joanna McMillan blue ticked all the great guest boxes, bonding with Sarah over a can of mackerel and talking protein and questionable food diaries. The irrepressible Craig Bennett shared some hilarious moments from his adventures as a globetrotting entertainment reporter.   

Dessert maestro Adriano Zumbo pops in with a surprising kitchen tip - and don't miss multi-media star Virginia Trioli's coffee confession.

The Food Poll will return in 2026 and your suggestions are welcome via our social media platforms. Happy New Year. Have fun and stay safe.
