Episode 114 - Big Dreams, Work & Opinions Nobody Asked For

The first 100 subscribers, two Off the Dome performances, and a car full of opinions.

Hossein and Igor talk birthday love, childhood dreams of radio and inventing, and the pressure to turn everything you enjoy into a measurable result. Does your hobby need a KPI? Are young workers being judged fairly? And how expensive does a first date need to be?

Opinions Nobody Asked For brings three debates: Friends and the sitcom rankings, Jay-Z and Kanye’s relationship, and the Woolworths rotisserie chicken.

OTD this week: ICEMAN by Cedwood and WILD by Encore.

Tell us your favourite sitcom, your winning supermarket chicken, and which OTD beat you preferred. Follow Third Avenue and share the episode with someone who needs to hear the hobby conversation.
