    Alan Lewis Raw Conversation with Dr. Charlie Teo

    Episode 19 of The Alan Lewis Raw Conversation is now live. In this episode I sit down with renowned neurosurgeon Charlie Teo for a fascinating and very honest conversation about his life, his career, and the work he has dedicated decades to. Charlie has performed thousands of brain operations throughout his career and is widely known for pioneering keyhole neurosurgery, a minimally invasive technique that has helped change the way many complex brain tumours are treated. He has spent more than 35 years operating, teaching and mentoring surgeons around the world, always pushing the boundaries of what is possible in brain surgery. In our conversation we talk about the future of neurology and neurosurgery, the incredible technology that is starting to change medicine, and how new tools and research may shape the way brain conditions are treated in the years ahead. We also discuss the growing role of advanced imaging, surgical techniques and emerging technology that may help surgeons better understand the brain and operate with greater precision. We also get into some really interesting topics about everyday life and the brain. We talk about modern technology, including mobile phones and the digital world we now live in, and the kinds of questions scientists are still exploring about how technology, stress and modern lifestyles may affect our brains over time. And of course, like every guest on The Alan Lewis Raw Conversation, Charlie faces the question every guest gets asked. The top question, the middle question, or the bottom question. Which one does he choose and what does he say? Listen to Episode 19 now. Make sure you subscribe to The Alan Lewis Raw Conversation on all our networks so you never miss an episode.

    Alan Lewis Interviews Duncan Armstrong

    Alan Lewis Raw Conversation – Episode 14 Dropping today! I’m genuinely excited about this one. My next guest is Duncan Armstrong — an Olympic gold medallist, Commonwealth Games champion, and one of Australia’s most memorable sporting figures. He famously claimed gold in the 200m freestyle at the 1988 Seoul Olympics in what remains one of the great upsets in Australian sporting history. He has also represented Australia at the highest level across World Championships and Commonwealth Games competition, earning respect not just for his achievements, but for his determination and grit. Since retiring from elite competition, Duncan has remained a respected voice in Australian swimming and media. He has worked as a commentator, mentor, and advocate for the sport, continuing to inspire the next generation with his experience, discipline, and honesty about what it truly takes to succeed — both in and out of the pool. In this episode, we speak about the mindset required to perform under enormous pressure, the reality of life after elite sport, and the lessons that competition teaches you about resilience, setbacks, and backing yourself when it matters most. Duncan speaks openly about expectation, doubt, preparation, and what it feels like to deliver when the world is watching. It’s a raw, open, and insightful conversation that I believe many of you will genuinely appreciate. And of course, we’ll see how Duncan handles one of the most popular parts of the podcast — where he chooses which question he answers. That’s always a moment listeners look forward to.

    Alan Lewis Interviews Jamie Dunn and Agro

    Episode 13 of Alan Lewis Raw Conversation is one I’ve genuinely been looking forward to sharing, and this week I’m proud to finally reveal the guest. Joining me is Jamie Dunn. A true icon of Australian television and radio, and someone whose voice, humour and characters have been part of our lives for decades. Most Australians know Jamie as the creator and voice behind Agro, the unforgettable character who helped define kids’ television through Agro’s Cartoon Connection. For a whole generation, that show wasn’t just after-school viewing — it was a daily ritual. But Jamie’s story goes far beyond one character. He’s built a career spanning more than 40 years across radio, television, writing and live performance. From dominating breakfast radio to becoming a household name on national TV, he’s remained a constant presence in Australian entertainment and he’s still very much active today, still working, still creating and still connecting with audiences. What really stood out to me in this conversation isn’t just the success. It’s the person he is. The effort he’s always put into giving back. The charity work. The quiet support for others behind the scenes. And the honesty he brings to everything he does. He’s genuine, grounded and exactly the same off-air as he is on it. As always on Raw Conversation, we start with a simple choice. I ask Jamie to pick a question — top, middle or bottom — and whichever one he chooses opens the door to the rest of the chat. From there, nothing’s off limits. It’s funny, nostalgic, heartfelt and very real. The kind of conversation that feels less like an interview and more like sitting down with an old friend.

    Alan Lewis Interview with Dylan GEN Z

    Episode 12 of The Alan Lewis Raw Conversation is now live. This episode features a deeply considered and in-depth conversation with our special guest, Dylan — one that genuinely made me stop and reflect on where we are heading as a generation. Right at the beginning of the episode, Dylan is asked to choose between Question 1, Question 2, or Question 3. Without hesitation, he makes his selection — and what follows is an answer that immediately sets the tone for the entire conversation. His response is thoughtful, honest, and quietly confronting, touching on responsibility, awareness, and the realities facing our generation as we move forward. As the discussion unfolds, the conversation only deepens. We explore the pressures, expectations, and shifts occurring in society today — particularly around work, purpose, family, and the future we are collectively building. At moments, the insights are surprising; at others, they are sobering. There is a point where you can’t help but think: are we truly prepared for what is coming, and do we fully understand the world we are shaping? This was not a surface-level interview. It was reflective, at times challenging, and ultimately refreshing in its honesty. Dylan speaks with clarity and conviction, offering perspectives that feel both grounded and forward-thinking — especially powerful coming from someone of his generation. If you value conversations that go beyond headlines and soundbites, and instead invite you to think, question, and reflect, this episode is well worth your time. 🎙 The Alan Lewis Raw Conversation 📍 Episode 12 — now available
