The star of The College Diaries is in studio! Joe McGuire and Howie unite for their first ever meeting in person for a raw, honest, and revealing debrief of life inside the Ohio State system.

A young Aussie chasing the biggest dream there is, and he has been so good at letting us in on every detail.

Joe opens up on the moment every Buckeye dreams of, taking down “The Team Up North”, in one of the fiercest rivalries in world sport. A win that validates everything… until the brutal reality of football hits. Because just weeks later, after a near flawless season, it all slips away. The emptiness. The silence. The sudden end to a brotherhood that felt unbreakable.

We dive into the College Diaries journey — the behind-the-scenes grind, the production, the pressure and the surreal rise of college athletes into global figures.

Joe really is a brilliant young Aussie chasing the biggest dream there is, and he has been so good at letting us in on every detail.

You would have heard in the intros, we have Olympic Gold Medallist Matt Mitcham coming up on the show... catch him in the Off-Broadway hit play AFTERGLOW which heads to the Eternity Playhouse in Sydney from 26 February. For tickets and more information, go to afterglowtheplay.com.au
