Part 2: Put some respect on their name immediately!
Dr Alethea Beetson - Proud Kabi Kabi and Wiradjuri woman
Hold on let me just mention the title for Dr Alethea's doctorate "How insurgence and resurgence functions in the creative development of Indigenous performers" and yes I will be putting those two letters in front of her name every dang time ! Dr. Alethea's resume speaks volumes in the creative arts industry both nationally and internationally, but we want to shine a light on Digi Youth Arts, which she founded in 2013. A space for emerging Indigenous youth artists, that's making big waves in not only Meanjin but nationally and globally. Also please go and checkout this deadly podcast Couzin2Cousin - where Indigenous musicians from Australia and Canada connect and yarn about music, their influences and experiences.
Loki Liddle: Proud Jabirr Jabirr Man
Energetic, passionate, exquisite wordsmith and performer. These are just a few of the words I'd describe Loki, and if you don't believe me go read some of his poetry or listen to his band Selve. Just to quote " I was always a writer before I was a musician", at 17 y'all he decided 'let me start adding music to my poems' and now they have a new EP from their residency at the Pink Hotel Coolangatta coming out later this year (2022).
Go check out Digi Youth Arts and Blak Social and if you're in Meanjin (Brisbane) please support and go along to one of their shows.

Manifestation is the topic but what does it mean?

Better late than never - first episode for 2021 and we have a couple of friends joining us on the pod talking all things Cancel culture and life lessons in between.

The perfect way to end our 2020, yarning with our good friends, Emily Devers (Third Quarter Gallery), Mitchell Walker (Deft 88/Don't Mind Us Records) and Grace Julia (Director/Film Producer). This month we're talking about Rebranding and Authenticity as a creative - how does our social media effect our personal brand and is it synonymous with our own self identity? Exoticism and reappropriating images as a form of symbolism. Supporting societal issues that matter with integrity versus a trend of clout chasers. Self Auditing and honest reflections that have changed our outlook for the better.

Fears & Fergie is the running title - Heyyyyyyyyyy, just to let you know WE’RE BACK ... and to get us into the swing of 2020, we thought to bring in a few of our mates! Joining us in the studio for Episode 5 we have three of Brisbane’s finest creatives: Well Born, Dancingwater and Only ODD! As usual we had a bit of a laugh (which may or may not have included Fergalicious), but this time we left our insecurities at the door to embark on an open and honest conversation about understanding our own fears and traumas, recreating nostalgic moments as a form of reconnection and empowerment and how society and culture provides the foundation or building block for an individual or creative.

The genre Afrobeat has been around for a while (give thanks to Fela Kuti) and with famous artists such as Beyonce, Drake and Burna boy elevating the genre it couldn’t be taking the world faster than it is - and well, now it’s catching some buzz on a mainstream level, especially in Brisbane. Joining us on the show, we’re lucky enough to have afrobeat and dancehall artist Slicker1 in the studio along with the creator of Arabanko events and Brisbane Afrobeats Festival.
