Pausing the (painstakingly slow) #100in24 rollout to share the news I'm bringing a live show to a bunch of cities [Berlin, Dublin, Bristol, Stockholm, Bern, Ghent, London, Melbourne, Sydney] this Aug/Sept 2022.
The tour kicks off in Berlin with a show presented by Bear Radio, which is run by Jill Beytin and Julia Joubert. This episode features a pretty casual chat with Jill about the local German scene, including a juicy story about a recent controversy with one of the public broadcasters.
Register to come to the Berlin live show, Aug 28: https://shorturl.at/bekvx

Colette Kinsella is a radio documentary maker based in Dublin Zoo.
She literally lives in Dublin Zoo.
I found out how she fell for radio, her passion for animals and one of the all-time greatest love stories.
It’s a lot of love. But it’s not surprising, considering I love Ireland, I love Irish people and I loved this catch up with Colette.

Newtown Performing Arts high school was a melting pot of extraverted dancers, actors and musicians.
But even amongst a school full of characters, Eric Avery stood out.
He now works as a professional artist. I found out about that, as well as a new relationship that’s lead him to Darwin, and his experience as a gay, Indigenous man.

When she’s not competing in triathlons (or posting photos about competing in triathlons) Ellen Leabeater is a producer for The Guardian’s daily podcast, Full Story.
Today we’re getting the full story on Ellen’s love life. Specifically, the challenges she faces as she tries to navigate Sydney’s dating scene as the city goes into lockdown.
After a romantic first date on the harbour, Ellen is forced to consider if this will be her ‘final first date’. Also, her dog graduates from university, which can only be described as another punch in the guts to our tertiary education system’s credibility.

Lewis McKirdy changed the way Australian youth radio presenters think about talking on the radio.
His unique style, instantly recognisable voice and unflappable temperament allowed him to cut through the airwaves.
In 2016 he decided to take a break from radio and move to London. He’s mixed it up career-wise since then, spreading his wings. But he’s still the same loveable larrikin.
I asked him to reflect on those triple j days, but we also discuss the best-tasting fruit and his job driving an animal ambulance.

I’m pretty sure Tristan Dabbs use to have a velcro wallet with a chain on it. He’s also the first person I know to own an MP3 player – before the iPod.
We sat next to each other in Year 8 homeroom at St Pats, Dundas, in Sydney’s north-west. Coincidentally, St Pats was one of the first schools in Sydney to have a Covid-19 case.
A good 15 years later, it’s time to catch up. You’ll hear the story of why he asked a friend to borrow $2000. And also, the accident that turned his career inside out.

As well as camping and playing with a pocket knife, during scouts I met a bunch of interesting people.
My first memory of James Munro was when we were 12 years old. Another kid said something about his mum and James went over and punched him.
The Munro's are a tight unit. Ruth is the quintessential Australian Mum. Pete is the reserved Dad whose beers we stole. There’s James, who now lives in Germany, and his little sister, Rachel. She just got married.
We reminisce about home phones, reflect on dusty wedding venues and you'll find out why Mrs Munro 'won't be going anywhere'.

I met Rachel Worsley at a wedding when she wrote a poem about pickles on a typewriter.
Rachel gambled a successful career in law to try her luck with a poetry business called Typepolar. Her parents weren’t excited about it.
But exactly one year after starting – armed with only a typewriter and her imagination – Rachel has proven her dream can turn a profit. Instead of going out to celebrate, she’s talking to me.

Hi friend, it's Mike. Hope you're well wherever you are. I'm jumping into the calls, but I wanted to leave this as a little holder. One day soon, when I've had a bit more time to think, I'll update this file with a proper intro. In the meantime I hope you can check out the first episode featuring a 'breaking news poet'. Take care.
