The Pride Of Queanbeyan returns to The Betoota Advocate Podcast this week to discuss the rise of Australian Hip Hop over the last three years. It's been roughly that long since we last spoke to him and Hauie has pivoted from artist to pioneer. From OneFour to Sampa The Great, to The Kid Laroi, he was there in the studio before anyone knew their names. Hau has this week published his memoir, titled KING, which is the Tongan translation of his own name - and also a metaphor for his selfless contributions to hip hop in this country.

The slow pace of the pandemic saw a lot of people reassessing their situation. Sea change / tree change / career change? Something needed to change. Today’s guest, Australian author Oliver Mol already went through these paces several years ago when he suffered a splitting ten month migraine. As an emerging Australian writer, it was all over. The chronic pain meant he couldn’t look at a blank page. That’s when he got a real job working on the trains in Sydney. His new book Train Lord tells a dark, hilarious and hopeful story of the bold choices and supernatural coincidences as he clawed his way back to the pen and paper.
