Waleed Aly on the government's pandemic response, working in media and supporting Richmond.

Waleed Aly is one of the smartest people on Australian television. As well as sitting at The Project desk, writing columns for the Nine newspapers or hosting one of his many podcasts, Waleed is very busy out of the media limelight.

He is an obsessive Richmond Tigers supporter, the lead guitarist for rock band Robot Child, husband to wife Susan Carland, and dad to Aisha and Zayd.

Jamila Rizvi and Waleed discuss his career of law turned media, his love of AFL, the government’s response to the pandemic and his family.
