Spearheaded by Melbourne/Naarm-based creative Allison Watters, the DIY independent 'zine PULSE makes a comeback this year for PULSE: Issue 2. In what might be one of my favourite episodes/conversations to date, I chatted with Allison about all things PULSE, and pick her brain about her experience entering the heavy music and media industry, and why its so important to push for representation and support of non-men in the industry.

Another short one, this time with Mikaila Delgado from Sydney ‘alternative bright lights’, Yours Truly.

Their new EP ‘is this what I look like’ comes out next Friday July 15th and in this episode we go over the background of the EP and prior releases, the surprise video debut for ‘Lights On’ at Unify 2022, working with Josh Franceschi from You Me At Six for ‘Hallucinate’, Mikaila’s fem-focussed collab wishlist, rebranding their feeds for new releases, and we touch on feelings of imposter syndrome & mental health, and how that’s changing over time for Mikaila and the band.

CW: I do another little intro at the start of the actual interview but I just wanted to pop in here and mention a sensitive content warning. In the first few minutes into chatting with Carla, about the 2-3 minute mark, we do briefly talk about mental health (as usual), but we also mention suicide, so just be prepped for that.
