Today’s guest is no stranger to my FYP, and perhaps yours too. Harry Jun is a multi-hyphenate comedian, cartoonist and host of the show Good Game: Spawn Point on ABC and Say Kimchi for SBS Audio. Freshly returned from a stint at Edinburgh fringe, Harry joins us to chat about his winding path to comedy, the experiences that lead him to today and to his touring show Friendship Safari.

This week, Béla talks with Chloe Hayman, the editor-in-chief of independent, Sydney / Eora based print magazine, Soft Stir.

Soft Stir's latest release, Stories of Collision, is more of Soft Stir's unique blend of art, music, culture, and philosophy through the lens of colliding objects and ideas. Chloe Hayman helps shepherd those ideas as the magazine's editor, platforming emerging creatives, designers, and writers.

Chloe joins Béla in the studio to talk falling into becoming an editor, the Overview Effect, and why Sade might be the perfect roadtrip soundtrack.

Today we're joined in the studio by singer, songwriter, rapper and artiste DEVAURA.

Born in Aoetoroa and now based in Dharug Country in so-called Sydney, Davaura is a mainstay here at FBi. With her creative, innovative and energising lyrics and beats, Devaura has the unique ability to ensnare her listeners as she takes you on an odyssey of love, loss, power and excitement. 

A recent SMAC Award winner for ‘Best Live Act’ Devaura’s newest single ‘MEET YOUR MAKER’ just released and you can listen to it wherever you find great music. 

Today we’re going to get personal with Devaura and discuss the music and stories that have taken her through the winding path of her life to where we are now.

This week on Out of the Box, Kate Saap is joined by Gadigal-based Choreographer, performer and director Emma Harrison.

Watching Emma perform on the stage, the words visceral, emotional, free-following, experiential and dramatic come to mind. But her creative practice extends even beyond this, with works encompassing voice, film and theatre. 

Ahead of the premiere of her show HIGH OCTANE at the Campbelltown Arts Centre on Friday March 28th, we’ve got Emma here to talk about the music and stories that have influenced her life to date, her multidisciplinary practice, reconnecting to the world through our bodies and movement, and which Severance character she looks like (hint: it’s definitely who you think).
