Friends of the Blokes


Now that we have been going since 2000, we have assembled a veritable collection of guests and regular contributors. We have created a special category for people who are even more special to us - the FotBs (Friends Of The Blokes).

For the absolutely most special FotBs, we have established a category - The 2 Blokes Chatting Radio Show Legendary Friends Of The Blokes Hall Of Fame (we know - a very catchy title!). Only people who have made a significant contribution to the world and to our show will be eligible for this elevation.

These are the best of the best - they have gone above and beyond in their field of endeavour and, of course, as Friends Of The Blokes.

Russell Morris - August 2025


There are not many bigger names in Australian music than Russell Morris.

Kicking off his career with Somebody's Image in the mid-1960s, Russell has been a superstar of the local music scene ever since. We first spoke to Russell back in July 2021 and awarded him Friend of the Blokes status in April 2023. As Russ set off on his national farewell tour in July 2025, we were delighted to be able to chat to him and play his brand new song - The End Of The Beginning.
