It’s, sadly, the final week of The Project, and to celebrate/commiserate, we’re joined by a very special guest: journalist, academic, broadcaster, Gold Logie winner, walking fun fact generator, and yes, former Richmond Tigers mascot, Waleed Aly. In this very extended episode, Waleed reflects on more than a decade behind the desk, saying goodbye, and the art of compartmentalising on live television. Plus, we dig into his sporting obsessions, his time inside a mascot suit, his unexpected Elmo bromance, and why The Project meant more than just prime-time news.
