Thrilled AF to have the company of two incredible Melbourne based songwriters Katie Bates and Rose Zita Falko.

Mikki Michelle refers to herself as a Stripping Songstress. You may be more familiar with the term Burlesque Artist. Either way she's our first dancer as a guest on the show and we had a most excellent chat!

What a blast to chat with Abdulrahman Hammoud. Poet, teacher and founder of The Dirty Thirty Writing Challenge and editor/compiler of The Dirty Thirty Anthology.

More Than A Whelan goes live once again at the glorious Merri Creek Tavern. Featuring special guests Maggie Alley, Natasha Johanna, Gabriela Georges, Jessica At Birth and Mitch Power!

Peter Bakowski was one the first poets I ever met. So it was an absolute joy to talk to him about all things poetry in the Castaway Studios.

Peter Drew is one the most iconic artists in Australia, he has a new book out called Poster Boy, he's the first street artist we've had as a guest on the show and it was an absolute joy to talk to him.

For the very first time More Than A Whelan is presented as a live show for the Melbourne Writers Festival. With special guests Hannah Blackburn, Natalie Jeffreys, Aurelia St Clair and Justin Bernasconi. Plus the debut performance of Crystal Veins.

So good to have a chin wag with two time Austin Poetry Slam Champion Bill Moran on his sixth visit to Australia. We talk of many things including Galveston, Death Metal, Gun Control, Teaching and of course poetry.

So damn pleased to have our very first international guest in the Castaway Studios, Arielle Cottingham, the Texan born 2016 Australian Poetry Slam Champion.

Thrilled to have a chat with poet/performer Adam Gibson (The Ark-Ark Birds, Modern Giant, The Aerial Maps) at the Coogee Bay Hotel.
