Rog
Rog is the podcast for anyone bold (or stupid) enough to chase a creative dream. Hosted by a wannabe comedian/media guy figuring it out in real time, Rog is all about the unpredictable ride of trying to “make it.” Each episode features unfiltered chats with artists, performers, and people winging it in their own way — from seasoned pros to wide-eyed rookies. No fluff, no fake inspo — just honest talk with people who have taken a punt on themselves.

Caden MacDonald: The Godfather of AFL YouTube | Rog Podcast #4
The Top of YouTube or the Bottom of the Mainstream?
In this episode of Rog, I sit down with the godfather of AFL YouTube, Caden MacDonald. He’s the pioneer who turned bedroom webcam videos into a full-blown career, paving the way for a generation of creators and proving there was a real audience for footy content online. With nearly 100k YouTube subscribers and collaborations with the biggest names in the game, he’s built an empire that most would consider the pinnacle of success in the digital footy world.
But is that how he sees it?
We chat about the highs and lows of his journey—from the early grind in Geelong to landing (and then losing) the dream gig with Spotify’s Goes Alright. We explore whether he feels settled as the king of YouTube, or if he’s still chasing the next level—mainstream media, TV, radio, or something completely new.
