From Noiseworks to Mi-Sex to his brilliant solo career, Steve Balbi is a true original. In this intimate and reflective chat, Steve opens up about the stories behind the songs, the beauty of reinvention, and why embracing life’s messiness has led to some of his most inspired work yet.

We also dig into what it means to reconnect with fans, what’s changed in the music industry since their ARIA-charting heyday, and why End of Fashion still has something vital to say.

In a world that’s never been more connected due to technology and the vast reach of the internet, it’s hard to believe that nearly one in three Australians report feeling lonely … and more than 15% say they often or always feel lonely. Recent research conducted by Relationships Australia reveals that loneliness is a modern-day epidemic that affects people across all age groups, with young people aged 18-24 being the most likely to often or always feel lonely.

It’s why making connections with those around us – our neighbours – has never felt more important. When we engage with people – with something as simple as a smile and a ‘g’day’ – we’re taking crucial steps towards improving mental wellbeing and reducing loneliness in our communities.

Sunday March 30 - Neighbour Day, a national initiative which encourages people to connect with those around them, whether in person or virtually, and to discover how simple acts of social connection can help reduce loneliness and protect our mental health.

We heard from Nick Tebbey, the National Executive Officer of Relationships Australia, the not-for-profit organisation behind Neighbour Day each year. Nick told us why Neighbour Day is particularly beneficial in promoting resilience and protecting our mental health during times of change or crisis. Nick knows that neighbours don’t have to be best friends, but he also knows that strong local communities can help sustain us in both good times and bad

Let's introduce you to another David Campbell.

David Campbell is an Australian singer song writer.
He also plays guitar with Australian music legend Daryl Braithwaite as a member of band and has done for many years
David’s latest release was conceived January 2025 after performing in outback NSW on the remote pastoral property” Mount Gipps Station”, located Nth of Broken Hill, off the Silver City Highway.
Inspired by the vast and remote landscape, relief from the rough and corrugated dirt road from Gipps Station came when they finally met the intersection, and sealed surface of the Silver City Highway. The song was our AMRAP song of the week and I caught up with David to hear all about it

THE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS will celebrate The 20th Anniversary of Iconic Album, We're Already Gone by playing it on a massive tour of Australia.

Listen here and make sure you get out to a show, one I won't be missing either

Ahead of playing at the Hotter Than Hell Festival's across Australia, I caught up with Ben Ely from Regurgitator. We talked new music from "Invader", took a run down memory lane to Channel V's "Band In A Bubble" and discovered our mutual love of 60's Garage Bands. Watch this space for a part 2 as we ran out of time, but will definitely get Ben back on the show..
