Ashley Feraude in conversation with Josh Mulrine, who currently works with specific clients to source stones and gems and deliver unique jewellery pieces.

Josh's back story is a very interesting one, with his previous successful pursuits in cinematography and event management paving a unique path towards his fascination with jewels.

As a very social and driven individual, Josh has had to learn how to discover opportunity at times of hardship and how to redefine himself despite his set-in professional identity.

Ashley Feraude in conversation with Samantha, who is a Chair of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music, an Associate Dean Higher Degree Research and Deputy Head of School at the ANU School of Music.

Considering her academic achievements, we discuss what it means to be an academic, is one born or developed and what is an academic mindset.

Samantha has a great life story to tell about her journey through music, both from an applied side as an audio engineer and a theoretical one in her teaching and research. 

We also discuss her part on a recent documentary on the legendary Fairlight CMI music workstation which Nick Vevers produced as part of his Mustard Flats project. That rare equipment was hugely influential in the production of many pop and dance classics worldwide - and it was developed here in Canberra.

Ashley Feraude in conversation with Bri Williams, who is TikTok content creator and real estate professional.

Bri is a perfect example of someone that has managed to balance two somewhat opposing professions. One the one hand a TokTok star with a large and loyal following in Canberra and beyond and, on the other hand, she is a real estate agent wth LJ Hooker.

We explore how hard or easy keeping a balance between career and passion is, the world of social media, the challenges and tribulations of creating comedic content and why having an audience is a privilege.
