For Jack Bergin, the last few years have brought one realisation into sharp relief: the only way out is through. With their final tour wrapping up, the frontman for Naarm/Melbourne heavy hitters Void Of Vision joins the show to bring this chapter to a bittersweet close.

We chat about Jack’s health struggles and his determined journey of self-discovery, the moment he decided that VOV needed to take The Big Sleep, wrestling with ideas of mortality, thematic resonance and legacy, the unrealised potential of last year’s phenomenal ‘What I’ll Leave Behind’ LP, his enduring love for heavy music, and the new beginnings afforded him as the host of Triple J’s Core program.
