What a Great Punk

This week, with Todd still in Greece living the life of a real Malaka, I (Jamie) was joined by pod fave and absolute hunk Thom Stewart (previously of Methyl Ethel)! We deepened our ever growing bromance over a few cold ones in Thom’s backyard in Freo and discussed the Willy Wagtail that he tamed, his current day job as a signwriter (it’s all about mitigating the bubble and the crease), and living in a house full of rockstars. Thom then showed me his new leather jacket and unfortunately I was unable to hide my disdain for it. Woops! To be fair, he doesn’t like it either! Stonker episode. 10/10.

Pre-save (Listen when it's out) to our new single "Bending at the Knee" here: tnsw.co/bendingattheknee

With Chewy in Greece, we’re podding from different time zones this week. On this Patreon episode we talk about the benefits of working on ping pong time, being rough to the core, sitting down at concerts, why we don’t talk about nuts, if we’re a sucker or a wiper, and Todd gives us the rundown of what it’s like on the island of Ithaca.

**Apologise for the quality of Todt's audio this week, we had some teething issues podding from Greece which we'll get sorted for next week**

This week we chat with Maz and James about songwriting with bigwigs in LA, the importance of smelling fresh, how touring and airports ain’t what they used to be, the dangers of late night maccas, surviving replacement members, and we ask the question on every Uber driver’s lips,  “What venues do you play?” **Apologise for the quality of Todt's audio this week, we had some teething issues podding from Greece which we'll get sorted for next week**

This week Todd was in transit en route to Greece, so Rhys Mitchell joins me (Jamie) IRL for an intimate Sunday afternoon chat that spans mental health, acting, songwriting, Rhys' band Mouth Tooth and lots more! There is, of course, also some singing, role plays and tomfoolery along the way. Enjoy. To hear the full episode head over to our Patreon https://patreon.com/whatagreatpunk

This week with Todd en route to Greece, we've unlocked one of the great Patreon episodes! We'll see you all again for a new pod next week: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY HELEN! This week on the Patreon two of our favourite divas join us to celebrate our 200th fricken episode! Think crappy party hats, surprise tequila, uncharacteristically crude jokes and you’ll just be getting started. We also announce the winner of the amazing What A Great Punk artwork made by Rhys, and answer the big question 'Will we be continuing beyond Episode 200!?'."

Chewy and The Cricket on the pod this week chatting about novelty bands, Austin Powers customer satisfaction levels, being called “darling” by wine mums, trying to solve the mystery of where screenshots go once they’ve been snapped off, and going through a few hypothetical questions for a laff.

This week Jay Watson joins us for a chat about life as a responsible parent vs. life as a pissy-shitty band person, what it’s like touring with a crew of 50, anti-snoring remedies, dealing with nerves and anxiety at live shows, and finding a balance between artistic drive, money and obligation that comes with being a successful artist.

We've unlocked this week's very special Patreon episode—in which we had the honour of chatting to Cody Smyth, who joins us ahead of his upcoming photography exhibition in Sydney that documents candid and behind the scenes moments of the first 10 years of The Strokes. We discuss how he became friends with the band at high school in NYC, what it was like watching The Strokes blow up, the beauty and nostalgic value of film photography, and Cody shares some crazy stories of his time as iconic rock photographer Mick Rock’s assistant.

 If you are in Sydney get down to the exhibition 28 July - 2nd August at The Verona Rooftop in Paddington, and if you’re not you can check it out and purchase some incredible prints online at https://www.behindthegallery.com.au
