We’re celebrating the 30th Anniversary of The Hooley Dooleys with an extended and exclusive chat with a legend of Australian children’s entertainment... "Bruce Thorburn" 💛

In this episode, we chat about Bruce’s beginnings, how he first started playing the violin and other instruments, how he met David and Antoine to form The Hooley Dooleys, where the name came from, his time with the group, favourite memories, the circumstances around his departure... and even the rumours of a reunion?!?

This was honestly one of the most fun and nostalgic chats we’ve had in a very long time... and we’re sure many of you will feel the same 👍

On this week's episode, I’m joined by American comedian, podcaster, and author "Courtney Kocak"

In this episode, Courtney and I chat about comedy, nostalgia, Australian vs American pop culture, and the weird shows we grew up with — including Australia’s very own Round the Twist, Summer Heights High, Bluey, The Wiggles, and more.

We also talk about Courtney’s journey in stand-up comedy, the differences between the LA and Austin comedy scenes, free speech, older shows that have aged differently over time, and how nostalgia can sometimes be funny, strange, complicated, and even uncomfortable.

Courtney also opens up about her experience connected to Girls Gone Wild, which she writes about in her debut memoir "Girl Gone Wild"

(Some strong adult language ahead... — you’ve been warned, don’t get angry at me 😅)

This week's episode is, without a doubt, one of the most insightful ones I've ever done on the show... so far!

I’m joined once again by collaborator and great mate Ryan Boyd (who now goes by "Ry"), aka CaloricLeader9 Productions, as we talk about a turn of events that has affected him during the week.

But don’t worry — I also open up about a past situation for the first time in months.

It’s pretty full on... and we hope some important lessons can be taken from this ❤️

Get ready for the biggest collaboration on the podcast to date...

I’m joined by the up-and-coming group known as "The Internet Squad", made up of seven talented individuals with autism — creating skits, gaming content, vlogs, grand final chases, holiday traditions, and much more!

Joining me are four of the iconic members who’ve previously appeared on the podcast... "Harry Stott", "Noah Prendergast", "Gabe Harari", and "Lachlan Girdlestone" — and we have a cracking time in this extended edition of the show.

There are laughs, there are tears, there’s straight-up confusion... but most importantly — there’s heart ❤️

This week, Moses and I are joined by a very famous voice — especially if you live in Sydney and catch a train 😂

She’s also the voice and performer behind Lulu, one of the teddies from one of Australia’s most beloved programs, "Bananas in Pyjamas"... the lovely Miss "Taylor Owynns" 🐻

She talks about her experience working on the show in the 1990s, behind-the-scenes stories, the opportunities it presented her, and how she later became the voice announcer for New South Wales trains 🚆

If you grew up in Australia in the 2000s, there’s a very good chance you watched shows like "New MacDonald's Farm" and "The Sleepover Club" — but there’s also a good chance you may not know the name of our next guest... "Tim Mager"

Tim appeared on both shows as an actor (most notably as the costume performer of "Max" in New MacDonald's Farm), and we ended up having one of the most delightful chats to date on the podcast.

This is one episode you won’t want to miss ❤️

I'm joined this week by a lovely woman who has had a long career in Australian television, and has since toured around the country in dozens of Shakespearean productions... "Merridy Eastman"

We talk about her journey from being a NIDA graduate, to becoming a Play School presenter in the 1980s, to later being cast in the beloved TV series "Always Greener" and "Packed to the Rafters", and the secrets of what it takes to become a natural actor on stage and screen.

It’s a beautiful chat about the importance of being yourself in the performing arts industry ❤️

My next guest has been predominantly active in The Wiggles, ABC For Kids, and Hi-5 communities for years, and even runs a channel dedicated to Hi-5 fan-made content... "Keiran Murphy"

We talk about our love for Hi-5 growing up, hopes for a reunion tour, how he started his "ZombieMurphinator2002" channel (which is also celebrating its 10th year on YouTube), and how he created his "Hi-5 Aspect Edition" channel.
