episode "The Curse of The Optimist" (w/ Sam Bowden) cover

Description

This week I'm joined by comedian, writer, and my favourite type of historian, Sam Bowden. Sam's show, "don't panic! (it's happened before)" is all about the cyclical nature of the events in history and one of my favourite comedy shows. We talk personal growth, the game of life, and Brisbane high schools. Sam talks about how a haunted house taught him the importance of where you live and I reveal why I'm starting to get more creative in how I celebrate vs how I commiserate. It's a really fun and interesting chat. You can follow Sam on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/sambowdencomic/] or listen this his podcast Whoa, Free Lunch!? here [https://open.spotify.com/show/11QH3V9MwUvMeoNqvVKEd3].

episode "Progressive Ghosts" (w/ Jess Fuchs) artwork

"Progressive Ghosts" (w/ Jess Fuchs)

This week, I’m joined by comedian, MC and queer ally, Jess Fuchs. We talk thrifting, Buddhism, and how the worst things to happen to you can be the funniest. Jess tries to convince me that doing things out of vengeance can be positive and that fluro green is a non-binary colour. I share my hot take on Yochi and ponder whether or not I’m a gym bro. It’s such a fun episode, one that Jess puts her body on the line for countless times, but it’s just testament to what a consummate professional she is. Jess is performing a series of shows as part of Qtopia Sydney's Pride Fest. You can find the details, plus the vast array of events happening here [https://qtopiasydney.com.au/pride-fest].   Follow Jess here [https://www.instagram.com/jessfuchs/].

"Obama did WHAT?" (w/ Pete Deppeler)

This week I’m joined by my friend, former colleague and famous radio intern, Pete Deppeler. We talk about all things radio; the lengths he went to get interviews with the Modern Family cast, how he didn’t pay for flights for ten years, and his switch from The Kyle & Jackie O Show and KIIS to his new home on The Christian O’Connell Show. Pete tries to pillage my data and persuade me to charge for premium content. While I, with my husky voice, share the draconian rules my parents had for using the landline and try and blag a free pair of shoes from ASICS. It’s always a fun chat with Pete. Lots of lols and (mostly) some good advice too. I hope you enjoy it! ++++ Follow Pete here [https://www.instagram.com/petedeppeler/].

"Trust Your Body, Trust Your Soul" (w/ Jarryd Prain)

This week, I'm joined by 2023 RAW National finalist, Jarryd Prain. We talk about what Nicole Scherzinger is best known for, the worst case scenario when asking someone out, and determine when is the best time for butt stuff. Jarryd reveals that he loved the Pink Power Ranger and that he wants to go on MAFS while I’m stuck reminiscing about The Thundercats and confessing I identify with Lisa Simpson. It’s a great ep, there is something for anyone that farts.    Follow Jarryd here [https://www.instagram.com/prainthegayaway/]. Follow me, Andy, here [https://www.instagram.com/procopics/].

"Chanel No. 5" (w/ Nick White)

This week, I’m joined by the talented Mr Nick White. We talk skin care routines, Australian Idol reunions, and the strategic use of thirst traps to sell stuff. Nick tells us how Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes makes him think and helps a listener Nina with some advice after she heard too much. While I, with my full head of hair, start to question if I should start catching Didis, and if Zoë Kravitz is a vampire.   If you’re in Brisbane, you can catch Nick perform “Nick White’s Talent Night” at The Powerhouse on May 21.   Otherwise follow Nick on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/nickwhite49/].

"Aioli" (w/ Edan McGovern)

This week, I'm joined by comedian, MC and one half of the Nobody Asked podcast, Edan McGovern. We talk about restoring the balance of quiet gays, our respective grandmother’s thoughts on global warming, and how fascism wants you to be skinny. Edan says you should kiss your friends but also, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do, as long as you’re willing to face the punishment of death. I talk about ordering from the breakfast menu at Flash nightclub and being a proud people pleaser. And we both agree that self-care has limits. Grab some chips and aioli or aoli and enjoy!   Follow Edan on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/edanmcgovern/] Follow Andy on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/procopics/] Follow the Nobody Asked Podcast on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/nobodyaskedpodcast__/] and YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@NobodyAskedPod] Follow Advice Accreditation Bureau on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/adviceaccreditationbureau/] and YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@procopics]
