Our next guest is one of Australia’s most versatile and enduring entertainers. Todd McKenney has done just about everything in show business — from starring in some of the biggest musicals ever staged in Australia, including The Boy From Oz, Wicked, Cabaret, Cats and 42nd Street, to becoming a household name after more than two decades as a judge on Dancing With the Stars.

He’s also part of Australian film history, appearing in Baz Luhrmann’s iconic Strictly Ballroom — a film that helped launch a new era of Australian cinema and went on to win multiple AFI awards and international acclaim.

But Todd has a brand-new role in his life — proud dog dad. He’s recently adopted a beautiful greyhound named Fred through the Greyhound Racing Victoria adoption program.

Todd joins us now along with Damien Ractliffe from Greyhound Racing Victoria to talk about Fred, greyhound adoption and why these dogs make such wonderful companions.
