As the old saying goes 'Those who can, do...and those who can't, do podcasts with those who can'. So here is my interview with music journo and ukulele devotee Michael Dwyer. 

We talk about the changing face of journalism, combining his loves of the ukulele and David Bowie, and what it's like to spend hours in a van with the members of the Jesus Lizard with no one saying a word.

Yes you can appear on my podcast twice...but only if you have done 5 Ironman races, in five days on the five islands of Hawaii. To be honest I never thought anyone would take me up on this, but Mel Urie has! In this episode Mel talks about the highs and lows of doing such and Epic event, the impact of social media and what it means to be the only woman to be doing the race this year (and the first Australian woman ever!)
You can see Mel's full race report here, it's well worth the read https://rangamel.wordpress.com/2017/05/22/epic-5/

As a special bonus, I've actually recorded this with both microphones on...it turns out you can hear the guest a lot better when you have their mic turned on.

Something a little bit different for this episode, this is a short story about the joy of having an 11 year old who gets a pet snake. You can read the full blog post here http://blog.twodegrees.com.au/uncategorized/the-parable-of-joshua-and-the-serpent/

If you think doing 1 Ironman (3.8km swim/180km bike ride/42km run) is tough...then spare a thought for Melissa Urie who is going to be doing 5 of them, on 5 consecutive days on the 5 islands in Hawaii. Listen to Mel talk about her journey that has lead her to this place...and what it takes to do something this epic.
