Christian and the team reflect on a week shaped by resilience, community, and unexpected kindness. From heartfelt moments with first responders to stories that remind us how small gestures can mean everything, this episode captures a city pulling together. Along the way, Christian shares personal highlights, surprising encounters, and a few classic cultural oddities, from hidden historic pubs to panthers that may or may not exist. There’s humour, humanity, and a genuine sense of connection as the team gets to know Sydney beyond the postcard version.

What began as a plan to welcome Sydney with festive hams quickly shifts in response to a difficult week, with the team deciding to pass those small gifts on to first responders instead. Josh heads to Bondi to personally thank surf lifesavers and police, hearing firsthand stories of bravery, quiet resilience, and compassion in the aftermath of recent events. From silent beaches to unexpected moments of kindness, it’s a moving reminder of the people who show up when it matters most.

Today we continue getting to know Sydney, the city they’re temporarily calling home. Sharing powerful stories of kindness and resilience in the wake of tragedy, including a moving email from listener Brad about people lining up for hours to donate blood. There’s also room for lighter moments as the team dives into some of Sydney’s quirks, from the mythical panther to the ongoing seagull problem, and even a visit from a listener who claims to remember Saga World, the short lived theme park of the 90s. It’s a thoughtful mix of heart, humour, and discovery.
