The making of Robert Irwin

G’day! On today’s show: Robert Irwin is EVERYWHERE. Dare we say he’s the newest It Boy! He’s just won Dancing With The Stars US, he’s been profiled in the New York Times, and let us not forget that steamy Bonds shoot from earlier this year. So let’s track his glorious rise to global fame, analyse the PR strategy at play here, and unpack the unique legacy of the Irwin family.  This episode of Shameless is brought to you by CeraVe’s Holiday House of Hydration.
