Summary

Christian O'Connell's show is all about sharing the most epic stories from listeners. Today, we've got a lineup of hilarious and heartwarming tales from people who've made it into their local paper. From a 16-year-old's scathing letter to the council about a neglected obelisk to a photo op with John Farnham, these stories will have you laughing and smiling. We've also got a caller who was the first person to break down in the Sydney Harbor Tunnel, and a listener who rode a tandem bike with Bill Oddie from the Goodies. It's a show you won't want to miss!
