Paul McDermott makes a mean cup of tea. But you probably know him better as a member of the Doug Anthony All Stars and the former host of Good News Week.

This week, he catches up with Mia to talk about growing from a demon-free twin into an instrument-eschewing artist with a pretty voice; falling into Adelaide Fringe Award-winning DAAS through a chance encounter outside a food truck; being ocularly impaled on a Silverchair drumstick during a live television broadcast; and the many other sides of his increasingly public visual and sonic creativity.

He also delivers a very special live performance of "Canberra (In the 70s)" from his new EP, 'I've Seen The Future And You're Not In It', accompanied by Glenn Moorhouse.

This episode was produced by Tash Noore.
