For more than 20 years, Hamish Blake has been a familiar face on the Australian entertainment landscape, moving seamlessly between the worlds of radio, television and podcasting. So what’s been the secret to his success? In a rare in-depth interview, the popular entertainer and two-time Gold Logie winner chalks it up to luck - as well as a healthy dose of fun. Case in point: a spirited discussion about black cat lollies, the burial rituals of ancient Egypt and his theory that a well-stocked snack cupboard is key to a happy workplace.

Of course, there is a lot more to Hamish than mere clowning around. The Lego Masters host also opens up about the public’s ongoing fascination with his marriage to Zoë Foster Blake, talks about the joy and chaos of fatherhood to two young children, discusses how he and longtime creative partner and friend Andy Lee have navigated the different life paths they have embarked upon and finally addresses what was really going through his head when the cameras cut to him during Sonia Kruger’s infamous Gold Logie acceptance speech last year.
