Tamp on everybody! Wiggo and Alyson join me to talk about communication skills with adults and youths, the friends that we collect and drift from when younger and the curiosity. Then Nick pops in to talk about music connections, sealed sections, knives, lightscapes and flotation tanks.

Wiggo and Gibbo continue our chat on movies, this time from 1995 to 1999, featuring some truly astounding movie years. We cover who were our voices in film, which actors we love, were in love with, and were afraid of. Which movies changed our brains and which reflected our brains. Thanks for joining us.

Wiggo and Gibbo joined me for part 1 of an epic, that is long, discussion about movies in the 90s. It was pretty difficult as we realised that we watched every movie ever released. Gibbo starts discussing movies we missed in the 2000s. We then go over who we were and all the good and bad we saw from 1990-1995. A lot of soundtrack talk too. Take notes.

Angela Ward joins me in the backrooms of the public Library to discuss why we like teaching. We cover what kind of students we were, drama in and out of the classroom, and our love of year 7 camps. A theme across the chat is injuries to ourselves and others.

Alyson came back to chat with me some more. We discuss a lot about being characters from older times, the odd things customers say, book recommendations and oiled moustaches. We then discuss our kids and how they suddenly want to know the family history.

We are back to finish off the rest of the century so far. We are starting in 2013, covering some unanswered questions and taking our sweet time getting to last year. Wiggo and Nick also give their picks from the years as well. Grab a pen or open a doc and start doing your homework, or listen to 3 people talk a lot about things they like.

Well hello old friends, we are back for a soft return. I thought I’d do a little project to amuse myself and I brought along Wiggo and Nick. We discuss my 25 films of the century so far. I pick one film per year. We also discuss other movies from the year and we talk so much it must be in 2 parts.

It’s nice to be back.

It’s the soft ending of the podcast you’ve come to know and like over the past 12 years and joining me for this rude surprise is Nick, Wiggo and Alyson for the last time . . . maybe. We talk about stopping things we’ve enjoyed, and the need to pivot and pivot and pivot. We also talk a fair bit about chafe. Thank you for listening.

Author Inga Simpson (Willowman, Mr Wigg) joins me once again to talk about her latest book, The Thinning. It’s a book about hope and action against things we do and don’t notice. That’s pretty vague but I don’t like spoilers. It’s a really good. We talk about writing in voice, the struggle of connecting ideas, the stars, darkness. We mention someone we shouldn’t and they messed with the internet connection.

Check out Inga’s works here.
