Legendary broadcaster Neil Mitchell is back with the new season of the Neil Mitchell Asks Why podcast, boasting a fresh new format and unmissable line-up of guests from all walks of life.

Each new episode delivers frank and fascinating conversations, ranging from extraordinary personal revelations from one of Australia’s favourite gold medal contenders at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, to the leading Australian doctor facing his inevitable death and what it’s teaching him, and the superwoman who broke a world record but wanted to give up every step of the way.

And while Neil has stepped back from his iconic 3AW Mornings program, podcast listeners won’t miss out on what he does best – sharp analysis and opinion on the biggest issues of the day, with thoughtful breakdowns on everything from immigration to housing, politics and health.

On the return of Neil Mitchell Asks Why, Neil said: “I don’t know how many times on radio over the years I have said “we’re out of time but we could talk for an hour about this’. Now we can. And I’m hungry; this is the longest I have been away from a microphone in more than 35 years. I’ve got things to say, news to analyse and fascinating people I want to talk to at length.”

“With this new podcast season the shackles are off. There will be in-depth interviews of course, digging behind the people making news. And we will introduce a current affairs edge, with the main issues facing Australia explained, analysed and debated.

“It will be fun. Bring it on. Nobody else has time to do this properly. We can, and we will.”

Season 2 of Neil Mitchell Asks Why launched on February 4 and will drop weekly on all major podcast platforms.
