Show Notes

(Watch the episode here) In this episode of Shaped, Trent Cotchin sits down with AFL icon and one of Australia’s most controversial voices, John “Sam” Newman. With over 300 games for Geelong, Sam has lived a life in the spotlight, but here, he opens up like never before.

From his childhood to footy highs, going broke, and rebuilding his life, Sam reflects on the moments that shaped him, including his views on fatherhood, regret, and legacy. Known for his bluntness, Sam delivers raw honesty and even turns the tables with a powerful question he's always wanted answered.

This is a must-watch conversation that goes far beyond the headlines.
