EPISODE ONE - Osher Günsberg In our inaugural episode we welcome guest, Australian multi-media icon Osher Gunsberg to our couch to schmooze about his life in showbiz, being a dad to a sixteen year-old and a newborn, and to nosh on his pop culture tastes and habits. In a wide-ranging chat, we dig into who's better Mel Brooks or Woody Allen, who would be his ideal Jewish parents from pop culture, and discover the one pop culture habit that Osher truly regrets.Osher Günsberg has been a regular face and voice in Australia's homes for over two decades, most recognisably as the host of Australian Idol, the Bachelor and Bachelorette, the Masked Singer. Yet, Osher is a true renaissance man, also noted for his photographic work, his writing, his years as a popular radio presenter, his social activism, and his podcasting endeavours, Better Than Yesterday and Dadpod.Don't forget to pencil Shalom's Sydney Jewish Writers' Festival into your calendar from August 18th to 24th.
