Beyond the Mic: A Stroll Through Caboolture with My Little Legend

Have you ever wondered what the world looks like through a child's eyes? This episode offers a refreshing break from our typical studio format as we take a stroll around Caboolture Sports Club with our special guest—nine-year-old Jeremiah.Walking past wildlife, exercise equipment, and a velodrome "not currently operational due to service defects," our conversation meanders naturally through topics that matter to a third-grader. Jeremiah rates his day "four out of five" and candidly shares his school experiences, including his dislike for English because "it's boring and we have to do the same thing each other time." His interactions with friends and observations about the world around him provide a delightful window into childhood perspective.The discussion takes an energetic turn when we explore Jeremiah's passion for rugby league with the Daybro Cowboys. His matter-of-fact approach to tackling both boys and girls equally on the field—"you just want to smash them"—offers a refreshingly uncomplicated take on gender equality in sports. Meanwhile, his enthusiasm for weekly traditions like "Taco Tuesday" (with specific requirements for mince, salsa, cheese, and sour cream) highlights how simple pleasures create anchors in a child's routine.Our impromptu "Quick Questions" game reveals Jeremiah's preferences in everything from favourite colours (maroon, "because Queensland") to bedtime exceptions for State of Origin matches. Perhaps most charming is his momentary contradiction when claiming he's "not afraid of anything" before quickly adding "oh, sharks" as an exception.This episode reminds us that sometimes the most authentic conversations happen not in polished environments but while simply walking, observing, and genuinely listening to what kids have to say. Join us for this unfiltered glimpse into childhood wisdom that will leave you smiling and perhaps seeing the world a little differently.
