Sydney Tonight

Ep 16- Can I Make A Vape From Scratch? With Keli Holiday

In what is the biggest show in Sydney Tonight's storied history, I am going to attempt to solve the vaping crisis(?) with one simple invention. Can I create the world's first ever healthy vape? Alone, probably not. But with the help of comedians Ben Hunter [https://www.instagram.com/bnhntr/?hl=en] and Jordan Sharp [https://www.instagram.com/jordansharp/], I might just stand a chance... As well as hearing three people expertly toe the line of broadcasting standards in this episode, you will also be treated with the gruff and soulful voice of Keli Holiday [https://www.instagram.com/keliholiday/?hl=en]! The man responsible for Dancing2, the song that came second in this year's Triple J's Hottest 100, was kind enough to join me on the show amidst a packed schedule of touring. We chat about his infamous dance moves, his hair care routine, and relive the first ever international show he performed as part of Peking Duk [https://www.instagram.com/pekingduk/?hl=en]! And finally, the walls hung heavy around Casa Sydney Tonight this week as we had to farwell foundation member of the team, Annabelle Moore. Annabelle has found herself a "real job" as a news presenter in Dubbo, so to see her off I put her to the test with a Sydney news quiz that you can play along with as well!

BONUS- What Do They Call HSP's In New Zealand? With David Correos

After taking a little trip across the ditch recently, I was shocked to discover that the Halal Snack Pack is known by another name in Aotearoa New Zealand. To help explain that (and several other cultural differences between our nations), comedian David Correos kindly joined me in the Sydney Tonight studios! David is one of the most exciting and unpredictable comedians not just in New Zealand, but almost definitely the Southern Hemisphere. If you've ever seen him perform before then you'll know that it's impossible to see where his shows will go, and that is what people keep coming back for! He'll be touring the Edinburgh Fringe Festival later this year so if you feel like heading over to Scotland for some comedy then I can't recommend him enough. Otherwise David is always floating around Sydney from time to time and is easy to catch on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/davidpostoffice/]!

Ep 15- Why You Should Be Using Wikipedia with David Correos

If you've found yourself turning to your AI chat bot instead of Wikipedia over the last few years, I'm sorry to say, but you've made a big mistake! Huge! And in this week's episode of Sydney Tonight, I'm going to show you why... by giving away free beef to the people of Five Dock. Another suburb will also get its flowers tonight as I cast my eyes over to Chatswood, a suburb that exists not only here in Sydney but also in Auckland! So while I was over in New Zealand recently, I took a trip over to Chatswood in Auckland to see which one is better. And finally, you'll also hear from comedian David Correos! David has been in the stand up game for many years now, making a name for himself as one of New Zealand's most exciting (and sometimes confronting) comics. David describes himself as "nomadic" but still found time to call the Sydney Tonight studios home while he was visiting for the Sydney Comedy Festival. We spoke about his nomadic lifestyle and his would-be career as a professional weightlifter. Sydney Tonight is the talk show our city has been crying out for!

BONUS- Guess Who's Opening For Pearl Jam! With Scarlett McKahey (Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers)

That's the question Teen Jesus' manager asked Scarlett and the rest of her bandmates over the phone last year. Her answer? "Who? Violent Soho?" As it turned out, it was them! Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers [https://www.instagram.com/teenjesusandthejeanteasers/] had the chance to tour around Australia and the US in 2025 with Pearl Jam, another feather in the cap of this band that has just gone from strength to strength! Over the last few years it seems like Teen Jesus have been unstoppable, winning ARIA awards, selling out shows, releasing their second album Glory [https://www.teenjesusandthejeanteasers.net/], and now appearing on Sydney Tonight! I spoke to Scarlett about her first steps into music (playing the cello), what it was like getting to share a green room with Eddie Vedder, and her impressive tattoo credentials. We also spoke about Skins and how cool they made smoking look even though it's soooo bad for you. Sydney Tonight is the talk show our city has been crying out for!

Ep 14- The Secret Airport Hack You Need To Know! With Scarlett McKahey (Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers)

Getting the train to the airport in Sydney will set you back no less than $18, which is money you could (and should) be spending on your holiday! But driving isn't any cheaper, having to deal with tolls and parking fees if you want to leave your car anywhere. But there is another way, and on the show this week I am putting it to the test to see if it's worth your while. You'll also meet Scarlett McKahey, one of the members of Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers, who is in town ahead of their headline show at the Roundhouse on Saturday 9th May. Scarlett sheds some light on the early days of the band and the teacher that helped them rehearse during lunch time at school, what it was like getting to tour alongside Pearl Jam, and her very extensive tattoo credentials! And finally, producers Aspen Beilharz and Nathan Roach jump into the studio for a secret segment that Aspen prepared without my knowledge, and that's probably for the best.
