G’day, welcome to How Ya Goin’?

You’ll know my mate in this episode as the guitarist and lead singer for Magic Dirt. Finding their feet at the legendary Barwon Club in Geelong, Magic Dirt were pioneers of gritty Aussie punk-rock.

They’ve played with Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Spiderbait, Powderfinger, and Pavement even sang about them in a song. The soundtrack to Australia is filled with Magic Dirt tracks like Dirty Jeans, Ice, and Plastic Loveless Letter.

And as a solo artist, Adalita has found critical acclaim through the three albums she has made so far. She has become such an icon, such a bloody legend, that she doesn’t even need a last name for you to know who I’m talking about.

Adalita came up to the farm back in August for a visit. It was still a bit chilly, so we parked ourselves in the shed right next to the fire, and has this little chat.

Get it inta ya.

How Ya Goin'? is produced by Sam Loy, a documentary maker, podcast and radio producer, and wannabe rock star. He started making audio content as a hobby, producing the documentary show Human/Ordinary. The right people heard the show and he started getting offers for work.

Since then, he's worked with the likes of Louis Theroux (The Louis Theroux Podcast), Marc Fennel (Not Alone - Beyond Blue), and Alexis Fernandez (Rule Benders - Samsung), and is very chuffed about making a 10 part book adaptation about an infamous 1944 plot to kill Hitler (Treason).

He has enjoyed every moment of working on How Ya' Goin'?, except for driving home from Ross' farm late at night, dodging 37 kangaroos with a death wish.
