Radio stars go viral with TikTok Dreams Challenge
The Dreams Challenge on TikTok – which spawned from US man Nathan Apodaca skateboarding down a road drinking Ocean Spray cranberry juice – has been taken up by a number of Australian radio and television stars.
Leading the pack so far is Ben & Liam’s Liam Stapleton, whose effort eating a KFC Zinger burger has reportedly clocked up 521,000 views.
KIIS FM’s Sydney Breakfast co-host Kyle Sandilands also gave the challenge a go, but in his trademark style is sitting in a car, rather than out in the open air.
And KIIS FM’s drive duo Will & Woody put their own spin on the challenge.
Then there’s the Hit Network’s Dan Anstey whose journey as a Queenslander this week has taken quite the turn.

WSFM’s Steve Fitton was funnily enough the first Aussie radio person to do the challenge.
Liam ( and Ben ) have done some very funny video content. The new pups are showing the old dogs how to do video well ( and radio )
