In this episode, I speak with radio identity Marty Haynes; the brains behind the largest truck and motorbike convoy in the Southern Hemisphere, and one of the largest regional one day fundraisers in the country.  We also talk COVID, kids, KA's Christmas lockdown, caravanning, what made him cry, a Queen's honour, what's to come and how he's skippering Convoy through these crazy times.

In this episode, I speak with  Ni-Vanuatu woman Blanca Tomaki, about how COVID-19 has decimated the beautiful island nation of Vanuatu's tourism industry, and how that has coincided with a rise in the country's domestic violence rate.  Blanca is a former tourism industry worker, whose life has been turned upside down by the pandemic.  Today, she speaks with me about how she, and other women, are navigating COVID-19.

In this episode I interview Geoff Phillips. He was a much-loved and lauded fixture on the airwaves, on the NSW South Coast, for fifty plus years. As well as a regional radio and television stalwart, he's a former Australia Day Citizen of the Year, a mad-keen golfer, and now, happy retiree.  After five decades in radio and television, he has more than a few stories to tell. (Unfortunately, there are some audio glitches here, but I decided candid, if occasionally glitchy responses, are preferable to a redo/practiced responses. Hope you enjoy. 🙂)

Children's author, actor and filmmaker Tristan Bancks, talks inspiration, communication and fabrication, on the eve of the release of his latest offering, Ginger Meggs.  The book based on the iconic character created by our great-great uncle in 1921, celebrates the 100th anniversary of the red-headed, comic strip rascal.  We touch on the writing process, why Ginger's still relevant in the digital age and a bunch of other things, including the dubious narrative he's trotted out to thousands of school children over the years, suggesting his sister (that would be me), is in fact his evil muse....🙄😂
