  • Glory Holes: an eye-opening history

    This week I have a truly “eye opening” episode for you. We're revisiting an oldie but a goody! Together, we’re peaking into the strange and extraordinary world of… The Glory Hole.

    Due to the nature of the topic, this one is not for the little ones - maybe save this episode for when you're alone or grab some headphones.

    Enjoy!

  • Mortician/Nurse/Sex Worker

    This week on The StickyBeak, we sit down with CC, a triple threat in human care. From her work as a mortician to her role as a nurse and her experience as a sex worker, CC’s life is a fascinating blend of compassion, resilience and connection. We explore the unexpected ways these professions intersect, from the unique bonds formed in brothels to the emotional rollercoaster of nursing and the deeply personal task of preparing someone for their final farewell.

    This episode delves into some heavy themes, including sexual assault, suicide, and the process of preparing someone for burial, which may be triggering for some listeners. If you need support, please find Lifeline’s contact details below.

    Tune in for a raw, honest, and deeply human conversation.

  • The Rockstar Magician

    This week on The StickyBeak I'm speaking with the one and only, Arron Jones, AKA The Rockstar Magician.


    We cover everything from why Arron became a magician to how the magic industry works, as well as some pretty wild stories - on that note if there are kids around, I'd recommend wearing headphones or saving this episode for a bit later. This is truly a magical conversation, you're going to love it.


    A HUGE thank you to Arron Jones for coming on the pod (twice).

  • Living with Sex Dolls - revisiting a classic

    Today we're looking back at one of my favourite episodes of The StickyBeak, a conversation with a lovely bloke named Rod.

    He enjoys photography and is engaged to a wonderful lady who is currently living overseas - and he lives with sex dolls.

     

    I’m sure you may have already guessed, today’s topic is a little risqué, so if there are little ears about maybe save this for a bit later or chuck on the headphones.

     

    Thanks for sharing your story Rod!

  • Vampire

    This week's episode is an extra special one - and that's a HUGE thing for me to say. It's a conversation I had with Madame X, a self-identifying vampire and so much more.

    I learnt so much from this chat. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.


    Thank you so much to Madame X for taking the time. You can keep up to date with all her news here:

  • Clairvoyant

    My guest today is Tracey Rhodes, she’s a clairvoyant based on the Sunshine Coast. This is a conversation from about 4 years ago, I met her at the Eumundi Markets. At the time, this was during “deep” covid, I was doing a series about death and dying. I’d speak with people from different movements and religions about what they believed happened when you die. Anyway I got chatting with Tracey and she had this beautiful way of looking at it.

    It is a bit of a chaotic conversation, it’s such a huge topic and Tracey has so much experience so we just kind of went with the flow, and there’s some special moments I’d forgotten about when I was re-editing it, so you really are in for a treat.

  • Animal Trainer for Film & Television

    I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of movies, TV shows or ads featuring animals – whether it’s a show based on one, like Babe or even if they’re just in the background – like a dog on the street. Did you know there needs to be at least one animal trainer present on set?  


    My guest today is Jet Shaw, and she does exactly that. She’s also an internationally acclaimed animal behaviourist and educator. She’s worked on some of the biggest movies, like Avatar, and has a career spanning over 3 decades.


    I'm very aware when it comes to animals and the ethics of them working in show biz, it can be a really complicated topic. It definitely is for me. But what I wanted to explore in this episode was the basics about the actual experience, so we don’t go too far into the politics. It’s a really important conversation, and I think it deserves an entire episode of it’s own. So who knows, maybe one day.


    What I will say is this… Jet is SO passionate about what she does. Her love for animals is undeniable, and as you’ll soon hear, she’s incredibly strict about the high standard she keeps to ensure the well-being of her animals on and off set. 


    She’s also really funny… 


    You’re going to hear about how Jet became a trainer, how it all works as well as some pretty special moments - you might even recognise a couple of the stars she’s worked with. 


    So without further ado - here’s Jet.
