Supanova 2022

Saturday 9th April 2022 I produced a video for My Geek Culture surrounding Supanova – an Australian pop culture expo that tours around the country. This exhibition was held at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre.

While my media pass gave me permission to film, I was limited in reaching out to the guests, such as John Jarratt, Josh Lawson, Temuera Morrison and others.

Cosplayers were happy to chat about their costume, with me suggesting a random question.

Video, audio, editing by myself, with assistance from Sam Harris.

Hot Tomato Gold

So… I’ve been very busy lately.

I helped put this new digital station together by creating all the station imaging: Hot Tomato Gold. Streaming online via iHeartRadio and on your DAB radios if you’re based on the Gold Coast.

Part of the press release, available on Mediaweek:

The Hot Tomato Broadcasting Company has announced the launch of Hot Tomato Gold and CADA via DAB+ radio on the Gold Coast, as well as through the iHeart radio app.

Gold Coasters will also be able to listen to 1029 Hot Tomato through their DAB+ radio, waking up with Galey, Emily Jade & Christo for Breakfast and driving home with Moyra and Big Trev weekday afternoons.

Hot Tomato Gold is a new format that will play the Gold Coast’s Greatest Hits from the 60’s to 90’s, putting the Gold back on the Gold Coast.

Intro: Dave McCormack

Making a fancy introduction for Dave McCormack from Custard / Bluey for the breakfast show interview.

It’s nice to hear a positive response live on air from someone who’s awesome music I cranked throughout my high school years.

Champagne Comedy Podcast: Jason Stephens Speaks

As part of the Champagne Comedy Podcast series I produce, my new challenge was to include video with the audio.

D-Generation / The Late Show alumni Jason Stephens joins the Champagne Comedy Podcast for a chat about all things The Late Show. We completely nerd out asking all the fan questions we could think of.

Recorded November 6, 2021.

Nominated Again

The pandemic has taken a toll on many people and the economy, so it’s been a stressful year or two.

However, some light has shone and I’ve been nominated for a ‘Best Achievement In Production’ award for the 2021 Commercial Radio Awards.

I am truly stoked to be part of this line-up – just to be nominated after two years worth of hectic events is truly an honour. This is my third solo nomination, having been nominated in 2017 and 2018 – and was lucky enough to win that year.

The awards were on hold for 2020 due to the pandemic, and delayed for 2021, so the awards night itself will not happen until February 2022. I will share my entry once the event is completed.

December 2021 UPDATE: The event was cancelled and they announced the winners online at the start of December. Unfortunately I didn’t win, but you can listen to my entry here.

Champagne Comedy Podcast: A Year On In

Late August 2020 was the day the Champagne Comedy Podcast was launched. It was all due to the pandemic, and with Australia in lockdown and isolation, I gathered a few fellow fans of The Late Show to watch and review episodes and make a podcast out of it.

It started as a novelty, and now a year later with more than 20 episodes and specials in the can, it has evolved into interviews and guest reviewers. We expected downloads in the hundreds, but it’s now in the 10s of 1000s.

Here’s a montage of interviews of people who have been involved in the actual TV show, being parodied or contributing in one form or another.

My Geek Culture Oztalgia Podcast archive

The Oztalgia podcast was a limited podcast series for my old pop culture website Wireless Fodder, which has evolved into My Geek Culture.

Between 2015 to 2017, I interviewed popular Australian personalities who have an extremely impressive background in Australian radio, television and movies.

Most of it was not scripted, so my improv skills are a tad shocking.

Included in this list is Jamie Dunn, Scott McRae, Tony Johnston, Ian McFadyen, Shanra Grills (daughter of Lucky Grills), and Tim Ferguson.
