Harley Breen, the comedian who grew up without television and now graces our screens

Harley Breen has graced some of Australia’s most important comedy stages, fronted some of the country’s flagship radio shows and appeared on our screens as a revered host.

He now embarks on a new gig as the co-host of Network Ten’s Making It Australia with Susie Youssef – a reality show that celebrates craftsmanship from pottery to crotchet and more.

Jamila Rizvi discovers that Harley’s journey to his public-facing profession is a far cry from where he began in a household with little access to music and television.

THE WEEKEND LIST with Tait McGregor:

• Listen: ‘Lunchtime’ by Spacey Jane
• Listen: ‘New Mum, Who Dis?’ podcast by Ash London
• Watch: Squid Game (why Jamila's anti-recommended last week was wrong!)
• Cook: Kale salad with pecorino and walnuts (Smitten Kitchen)
