Titus O’Reily (
@TitusOReily
) is a writer, comedian, podcaster and commentator who specialises in satire, with a focus on sport. Titus is your perfect marriage of the larrikin aussie with Douglas Adams; a self-deprecating sense of humour, peppered with undeniably dry wit. Late comedian George Carlin is known for ‘sitting at the front row to the freakshow’ of life which is a great representation of Titus’ musings. I feel that you will see that Titus’ particular focus on the AFL, opens up a unique insight to the fabric of Australian society, and our collective obsession which could be described as a religion. Titus’ persona is so adequately stated in the best piece of merchandise mug I’ve ever seen: ‘Don’t have faith in yourself, have faith in how bad other people are’.
Here are the discussion points I think you’ll enjoy the most:
Who is Titus O’Reily?
Content distribution
Being a ‘content creator’
How he writes
The AFL and the media circus
On the current state of the Saints & Dees
Footy, indoctrination & belief
