Don't Let The Old Man In, a top-ranked Australian podcast for men in midlife, has released a compelling new episode featuring Merrick Watts - comedian, SAS Australia winner, wine expert, and entrepreneur - in what may be one of the most honest conversations about midlife reinvention in Australian media.
This week's episode with Watts exemplifies why: no celebrity fluff, no surface-level chat, just raw honesty about what it takes to rebuild yourself when the identity you've held for decades stops working.
After 20 years as one of Australian radio's biggest voices - first as one half of the beloved Merrick and Rosso duo, then across Triple J, Nova, Triple M, and 2Day FM - Watts stepped away in 2017 and discovered, uncomfortably, that the role and the man had become far too entangled. What came next was a masterclass in reinvention that listeners will find both inspiring and deeply practical.
In conversation with host Pod O'Sullivan - an entrepreneur, executive coach, and Oxford doctoral student who has lived through divorce, business exits, and reinvention - Watts opens up about experiences most high-profile entertainers would never discuss publicly.
