From cult NRL winger to one of Australia's biggest media personalities, Beau Ryan's career has been anything but ordinary.

Beau takes us behind the curtain of breakfast radio - he is dominating on Triple M! - revealing the ruthless early-morning routine that gets him ready to entertain Sydney every day.

He also reflects on the humble beginnings, guest appearances on The Footy Show that quickly became an obsession, and the balancing act of building a media career while still playing NRL—under one very clear instruction from his coach.

And then there is a tale from Beau's Footy Show days that somehow gets more unbelievable with every minute. One of the best stories in ten years of the podcast.

Funny, honest and full of behind-the-scenes moments from rugby league and television, this is Beau Ryan at his entertaining best.

Beau co-hosts the Triple M Breakfast show on 104.9 Triple M Sydney alongside Aaron "Woodsy" Woods and Cat Lynch. You can catch the show live every weekday morning from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM, or listen to the podcast on the LiSTNR App.
