The threequel of the Q&A odyssey has arrived! Delve and dive with me into the most unhinged of the Q&A episodes thus far. In part three, you'll hear a spontaneous freestyle, my rendition of an iconoclastic Lion King song, but most importantly you'll hear the inner workings of my cranium. So come in, be bewildered and bewitched as I extend into this new frontier of diverse questions submitted by listeners and loved ones.

A continuation of the conversation between myself and my listeners. The topic of conversation? A buffet of questions submitted by those very same listeners. The sequel to Q&A part 1 presents an answering of questions as honest and open as part 1, but with answers that begin to take on a life of their own. The questions in part 2 reached further into my psyche, and pulled out responses I didn't even know that I had, but responses that were prepossessing nonetheless. Stay tuned for the threequel of the Q&A saga!

The very first episode without a guest! Just me, 37 questions and a whole lotta lovin. Get your hearts, minds and ears prepared for a luscious four part Q&A series where I answer questions submitted by fans, listeners and loved ones. I wanted to give plenty of time to answer each of the questions as thoughtfully and honestly as I could. So be strapped in for in-depth responses to each question along this quartet of episodes to get to know Bona of The Bona Fide Hour.

With a quite a long sojourn, The Bona Fide Hour has returned to grace your ears and delicate ear lobes. This week, my high school friend Flynn joins me as we meet pub culture where it is - in both the regional and metropolitan arenas of Queensland. Listen in as we reminisce, re-enter and re-configure the pub spaces that have played a daring role in how Flynn and I have come to understand ourselves today.

Hello, hello, hello :) Welcome back to another beautiful Bona Fide Hour episode, where Finn and I invite you and your ears to join us on a splendid listening journey, where we conversate about aesthetics. We talk about social aesthetics and stereotypes, desert aesthetics (like in Breaking Bad), and also self-aesthetics - and how our aesthetic is comes together over time. Big thanks to Finn for being on!

It's The Bona Fide Hour in ya asses! This week on the podcast, my friend Blake joins me as we revel in the numerous methods people have devised to listen to music. We discuss how music is an inescapable part of our lives, since it is always around us as you'll find out in this episode. Music is something I feel deeply connected to and want to share with as many people as possible. What role does music play in your life? How do you think the way you prefer listening to music shapes you?

Helloooooo you sexy little linguistic listeners ;) Indigenous place names in Australia are being increasingly discussed, as names places and things have always been a way to control the narrative and history of a place. Paul and I invite you into our after dinner discussion of disputes over place names such as Meanjin, Naarm, Boorloo, the benefits and disadvantages of renaming places, and who has agency over the meaning of place names, how they should be pronounced/spelled and who gets to name what and why. Wind down and tune in to another linguistically poppin episode! If you're interested in language topics, check out previous episodes "Slanguage" and "Third Culture Kids as Third Cultured Adults"

Photography really is always about more than just the photo. It's about the lighting, atmosphere, equipment, time of day and temporal context that you're taking the photo in! My friend James and I capture our feelings about photography, and over the course of the episode we develop our understanding of why we take the photos we do, how we like to photograph things, what inspires our pics, and if the label of photographer is more recreational or professional. Enjoy the reverb ! :)

Helloooooo! In this week's episode of the bona fide hour, Liz joins me for an intimate chat about what it's like growing up as a third culture kid, and how those childhood experiences have translated into adulthood. We're welcoming you with open arms into this episode, as we lay out what we love about being third culture children, weird questions we get asked about our respective cultures, and how these cultures have shaped us today.
