What's your best memory? Your worst? Two amazing questions for the answers they get, and just right as the basis for a new artistic work. Sepy Baghaei is the genius behind bringing this idea to fruition at Crack in 2012, and she, and it, are the subject of this podcast.
Through people like Adelaide's Gabrielle Griffin, we've developed a great love of puppetry as art for adults.

Skye Loneragan is something of a wonderful genius. A traveller, travelling and a clever juxtaposition form the starting point of what sounds like a genius work for Crack Theatre Festival. Plucked of Purpose: The Adventures of PB is its title, and we loved talking to Skye about it and other things..

We love the initiative, and welcomed our chat with its creator.
You seem to LOVE Brisbane comedian Jenny Wynter. Her comedy/cabaret/thing during the 2012 Adelaide Fringe did some amazing business, and our interview with her is consistently one of the most popular downloads.

They've toured with the Dresden Dolls, financed the recording of their debut album via crowd funding, and won awards both times they've performed in Adelaide for the Fringe.

Jen and Tom were generous enough to join us just after visiting their Fringe venue in the Big Slapple.
Simon Taylor knows more about me than I get right about him. But I think that's the point. After wowing with his psychological insights during 2011's Pieces of Mind, Simon's back in 2012 with his show Ten (10) Things I Know About You.

Dealing with the little discussed issue of youth suicide, Richard Fry's one man show The Ballad of the Unbeatable Hearts frankly discusses youths (boys especially) who end their lives prematurely.

We spoke to Richard about homosexuality and hope for the generations.
