On this episode of the Podcast, we have a chat with Angus Thompson and Nina Oyama, the creatives behind The Angus Project. It's about sports journalist Angus and his best friend and carer Nina living in Bathurst. It is currently a pilot as a part of ABCs Fresh Blood and hoping to get a full season from it. They chat to us about making the show, and disability representation on our screens.  (The show itself is rated MA15+, so more suited to our older members.) We also catch up on the latest episode of The Return, a radio play from the Livewire gang and patients in Sydney.

In this episode we chat with Ben from KYD-X who are putting on an accessible music festival called Sound and Vibes. We dive into what that means and how it is all coming together. Get all the deets for Livewire's Got Talent, it's back and we want to see what you have got! And we catch up on the latest episode of The Return, the Livewire radio play.

On this episode we speak to the talented Steph or Alt F4 Cosplay. She is a Melbourne based Cosplayer about to take on the National Cosplay Competition. She is kind enough to talk through her process, give us insight into competitions and lets us in on a couple of tips and tricks to building amazing costumes. SabrinaLW set up a songwriting challenge to our members, we see if she is up to the task! And we have the next instalment of The Return, a radio play by the Sydney Livewire Team.

On this episode of the Livewire Podcast we chat with Georgia, the Aussie writer, performer and editor of YouTube channel Georgia Productions. She gives us an insight into her process and chats about her upcoming book. We also have the first episode of The Return, a radio play written and performed by the Livewire crew and patients in Sydney. The Return is about a teenage girl called Clara who is having trouble with her memory and a hospital where some pretty strange stuff is happening. Let us know what you think of it!

Last year I had the pleasure of speaking with filmmaker Yolanda Ramke about her film Cargo. The film is about to be released in Australian Cinemas on May 17th, and the rest of the world will be able to see it on Netflix on May 18th. So I thought it would be a great time to revisit my chat with her about the film, and filmmaking in general! Enjoy!

Welcome everyone to the 13 Episode of the Livewire Podcast! I was so thrilled to get to chat to the amazing Jessica Watson about her sailing adventure around the world at age 16 as well as her brand new novel, 'Indigo Blue'. We also travel through time to learn all about the filmmaking technique of Stop Motion Animation. If you've made any stop motion films yourself I'd love to see a few up on Livewire TV! Send them through!

On this episode of the Livewire Podcast we chat with Co-Founder and CEO of the incredible Bus Stop Films. They make films for, with and about marginalised communities and do some incredible work. Genevieve talks to us about the great work they do and shares some filmmaking tips! Quizmaster Mel also drops in and has a takes part surprise pop quiz from Livewire members. Will she pass or will she fail?

The lastest episode is here! Hooray! This is a great one for all you artists out there as we chat to Georgina Chadderton who talks to us about being a comic artist. She runs her own blog as well as doing workshops, having her work featured in Hospital galleries as well as writing a graphic novel based on her experience growing up with her brother with autism. We also check in with the Royal Children's Hospital Livewire crew to see what they are up to!

The Livewire Podcast is back for 2018! On this episode we chat with Amos Washington, Australia's Youth Representative to the UN about representing the views of Australian young people on the world stage. We also hear a review from our very own GammonGaming2001 and I give some tips for our members going into Year 12 or about to start at University or TAFE.
