How Long's A Yarn

This episode I had the pleasure of interviewing the hilarious Alexandra Hudson at the Eltham Hotel. We spoke about getting into stand up comedy, growing up in the country and fitting in to the Australian myth. 

A short conversation with my dear Grandmother, Daphne about her experiences of womanhood, family, community and coming of age.

This episode I have a couple beers and a couple laughs with the hardest working electrician/comedian in Sydney. We chat about growing up in Sydney, slang, juggling work work and creative work in Australia and what makes the scene in the 2000 so special. Rip rip.

In this episode I chat to writer, journalist and big smiler, Em Brugman, about growing up on the South Coast of NSW, her families history, gender roles and of course her debut novel - The Islands. The Guardian reckons it's "a sensuous blend of social history and imaginative fiction", and I think that's pretty spot on. Read the book and then have a listen, or the other way around, whichever you'd prefer.

A chat with Les Rice, tattooist, artist, teacher, lecturer and good bloke, about growing up in Townsville, Australia's unshakeable relationship with kitsch, Australian art and the rest of it.

Liam Jenkins is one of the nicest, most intersting blokes I've met. He's endlessly curious, a great conversationalist an outstanding tattooist, artist, and more recently farrier. After years in Melbourne and tattooing abroad, he's back living in his hometown of Nimbin, he's an absolute gem on the fringes of Australian culture. If you want to know what a farrier is, jump into the episode!

No words can really explain Mick. When I first met him, he was just "Mick from the Sports Club" to me, but I've learnt he's a whole lot more. He's an absolute presence, a wise man, and good tummy laugh. It was a rollercoaster of an interview but if there's one episode of this podcast to listen to, it's this one.

A chat with one of Australia's most raucous and raspy song-writers. A true modern day bush-balladeer Peter Bibby, is a humble and hilarious bloke with good chat and a heart of gold. Bibby chat about growing up on the outskirts of Perth, what the heck kinda music he plays, touring, Australia and some other shit. He's got three albums under his belt, endless tour stories and great yarns. Rip in. 

A yarn with journalist, entrepreneur, host of "To Be A Man" and all round great lady, Gemma Clarke about gender in Australia, Tassie Tigers, being white and heaps more.

A delightful yarn on a sunny afternoon in Eltham with the owners of the almighty Eltham Hotel, Rabbo and Sully, about owning a pub and the importance of maintaining heritage.
