The Project has sadly come to an end and for many, The Project was a fairly critical show in many peoples lives over the last 16-years. The show was abruptly cancelled mid-season back in June and has since finally concluded its last episode on the 27th of June.
The Two Good Sports podcast had Waleed Aly on ahead of the final episode of The Project to discuss his time on the show, as well as his sporting obsession. You can catch his discussion on Two Good Sports below!
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.
