Scott talks to musician and podcaster Seja Vogel (Sekiden, Regurgitator) about moving from Germany to Australia as a child, working at Megamart with her rock band, making a cottage industry out of miniature felt synthesisers and how a nightmare gig supporting Goldfrapp sparked the idea for her podcast, HearSej.
Continuing the conversation begun in episode 57, Scott and Murray Bowler continue their late-night examination of seven big life questions, covering top inspirations, where they see themselves in 2029 and the nature of happiness versus contentment.
Scott's frequent bandmate Murray Bowler returns to the podcast to pose a series of seven questions about life and philosophy.
