I’m Tony Wilson, a writer, broadcaster and filmmaker from Melbourne.

I’ve been in the media and writing worlds for twenty five years now, since I gave up life as solicitor to be part of a documentary travel show called Race Around the World.

Since then I’ve been a TV presenter, a radio presenter, a podcaster, a children’s book author, a satirical novelist, a sports memoirist, a sports historian, an MC and keynote speaker, a political speechwriter, a screenwriter for kids animations, a documentary filmmaker, a Speakola creator and a dad to four kids.

‘Good one, Wilson!’ is a way of sharing thoughts and experiences and words with fellow travellers. I’m likely to write or share audio about sport, family, parenting, disability, writing, and other stuff that I might once have sent to the newspapers or magazines.

It’s a new media landscape.

Social media is demoralising and awful. Traditional media is parochial and skint.

I’m hoping you’ll join me here for an email or two a week. Because I’m a professional writer, if you’re enjoying my work, I’m hoping you’ll choose to pay for it.

I write books, articles, documentaries and speeches. I do radio and TV. I've dressed as a leprechaun and danced on national TV. I have 4 kids, one of whom has cerebral palsy. I write about all this, except the leprechaun bit.
