EPISODE 54: IN HEAVEN WITH HANDS LIKE HOUSES

In this episode I catch up with new Hands Like Houses vocalist, Josh Raven, post-recovery and pre-tour for his first live shows with the band. This might just be my favourite episode yet, as another bucket-list item checked off! We talk all things HLH, including joining the band and transitioning between projects, vocal techniques, moving into new themes and musical styles, collaborating with old and new friends, Josh’s current bookworm reads, and of course preparing for the upcoming tour (starting this week!) and his top 3 current Aussie artists.

EPISODE 22: CARLA WEHBE LOVES YOU FOR YOU

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.

Otherwise, welcome to this funky, albeit short, episode with Sydney indie pop artist Carla Wehbe!
