    Interview with Billy Gudgeon
    Oct 2 2025
    In this special episode, I catch up with an old mate and one of Australia's rising country music artists, Billy Gudgeon. We dive into everything from growing up in a small country town to the musical influences that shaped his sound. Billy shares some wild on-stage stories, opens up about the meaning behind songs like Back To Country, Husband & Wife, and Kiss My Glass, and even reveals which legendary artist he'd bring back from the dead if he could.

    Plus, we get a sneak peek at what's next for Billy – including details on his upcoming live gigs and the release of his brand-new single Shake His Hand.

    Whether you're a country music fan or just love a good yarn, this episode has something for you. Enjoy!

  • Meat Loaf (Part 2) - Price Of Fame

    Meat Loaf (Part 2) - Price Of Fame
    Sep 24 2025
    Bat Out Of Hell would cement Meat Loaf as a household name and rising star of the music industry but fame hit hard. In this episode, we trace the whirlwind rise that led to physical collapse, creative clashes, and personal turning points. From losing his voice to butting heads with his creative partner Jim Steinman, the pressure would become all too much for Meat as cracks began to show on and off the stage before he eventually walked away from the limelight. But amid all of the chaos, he found love, became a father, and watched on from the side-lines as Jim launched his own solo album. We follow Meat’s slow but determined comeback as he gears up for the next chapter in Dead Ringer.
    Enjoy!

  • The Story Behind - Dancing In The Moonlight

    The Story Behind - Dancing In The Moonlight
    Sep 20 2025
    In this brand new series, we dig deep into the story behind some of the most memorable hits that we all know and love. In this episode of The Story Behind we uncover the unexpected and harrowing origin of the feel-good anthem “Dancing in the Moonlight.”
    What sounds like a carefree celebration of joy and unity under moonlit skies was, in fact, born out of a traumatic and violent experience. Songwriter Sherman Kelly and his girlfriend were brutally attacked by a notorious gang—a moment that would forever shape the song’s deeper meaning. Discover how a terrifying night sparked a timeless hit, and how music can transform pain into hope.

  • Interview: Lil Wolf

    Interview: Lil Wolf
    Sep 11 2025
    In this special episode I sit down for an interview with an up-and-coming indie artist out of Canada named Lil Wolf. Currently based in LA, Lil Wolf blends the genres of electronica, afro house and ambient soul creating warm melodic tracks with lyrics straight from the heart. During the interview we discover Lil Wolf’s musical influences, his struggles growing up including the loss of his mother at just the age of 10, his rebellious teenage years, his incredible experiences travelling the world including his fascinating spiritual experience during an Ayahuasca ceremony, we discuss Lil Wolf’s latest tracks and what we can expect from him leading into the future. It was an absolute pleasure chatting with Lil Wolf, he was such an interesting, humble and down-to-earth guy and I think you’ll really feel that throughout this interview. Enjoy!
