Connection, belonging and kindness could be Brad McEwan’s middle names. It is those qualities that guided this glass half full all-round good guy through some of the most devastating moments in his life, helped him sustain a stellar TV career, and brought him back to his hometown in northern Victoria when disaster struck. He openly admits ‘he loves people’ and whether you are his best mate, his Mum or a shop assistant he has never met, he has time for chat. His ability to connect with anyone is his superpower and the thing that underpinned a huge change in life direction some years ago which ultimately has brought him more happiness than he could ever have dreamt of.

We are all collectors by nature, holding onto things that are important to us throughout life. Some may have a deep significance, others might be trivial or reveal a hidden talent, but all have a special meaning behind or within them that reflect where we have been, who we are now and who we will become.



This is the essence of TWO AM I – an adventure of stories, told through the lens of two personal items. 



Each episode hosts Jack Riewoldt and Shane McCurry chat to extraordinary people about their two special items, their climb of the mountain – and the ups and downs of life – to learn how those moments have shaped who each person really is.



Why TWO AM I?

Two hosts: a shared experience.

One guest: and their two special items.

TWO AM I – Who AM I: honest and real conversations about the big questions in life.

Episode 5: Christine Finnegan

Christine Finnegan has had a love of sport since she was a child. Tennis was her game of choice, where on the court she describes as her happy place. She travelled around the country and played the game she loved, but it was the realisation when she was 15 years old that she wanted to run the tournament rather than play in it. And so, she did. Christine has spent the past 25 years in senior roles across Australian sport at the highest level. Now as CEO of the Tasmanian JackJumpers, she’s helped guide the team to its maiden National Basketball League championship after just three years in the competition. While sport plays a huge part of Christine’s life, the pride in and love for her son sits at the top of her list of her greatest achievements.

Episode 4: Gerard Whateley





Gerard Whateley comes alive when the mic is on but whether he is calling a horserace, covering an Olympics or calling a footy game, he is powered by preparation and just a few nerves, as he says “the nerves show you that it means something to you.” Gerard’s love for sports broadcasting and writing goes back to when he was 13 years old and met his idol and inspiration, horseracing writer Les Carlyon. Since then, he has dedicated his career to that very pursuit, these days as chief sports caller and host of the Whateley program on SEN, co-host of Foxy Footy’s AFL 360 and occasional columnist for the Herald Sun. But dig a little deeper and you will find that Gerard has had his fair brush with Hollywood fame, and the people who inspire him most are found away from the media’s gaze.
