    LIFE OF BRIAN…Mannix that is Episode 8 Carlotta & Craig Bennett plus Tania Doko & Eric Bazilian

    It's duelling duos as Brian & Kevin break bread with Carlotta & Craig and Tania & Eric. 

    Australian showbiz icon Carlotta and entertainment reporter to the stars Craig Bennett have turned a lifetime's friendship into a hilarious stage show that is packing houses across the country. Find out all the juicy gossip behind the glamour when they spill the beans to Brian & Kevin. They don't, but it reads well doesn't it? 

    Tania Doko and Eric Bazilian (She of Bachelor Girl and He of The Hooters) have lots in common. They both married a Swede (not the same one) They both sing great and write sensational songs and they both speak to Kevin at the same time about all of those things. Who knew?

    Deep Purple may not be touring Australia now, but we did manage to get their bass player and the man who came up with Smoke on the Water - Roger Glover - for a chat and he is quite a character.  

    Our other star attraction is the incredibly likeable and talented Huey Lewis, talking everything from Back to the Future to his hearing problems to his new Broadway Show which is about to open.

    LIFE OF BRIAN…Mannix that is Episode 4 Graham Nash and Revisit Bryan Brown

    Graham Nash is befitting of the word LEGEND. Kev got to chat with Graham about his life and times, including The Hollies, the formation of Crosby, Stills and Nash then the addition of Young, plus his upcoming Aussie tour. Great stories from an all time great of our generation. 

    Also we revisit our pandemic and hilarious chat with Bryan Brown, another whose name sits well alongside the word LEGEND. Bryan talks about becoming an unlikely author and his days on set with Paul and Ringo. Yes, that Paul and Ringo. Funny bastards apparently.

Entertaining interviews

Great guests and good questions. Glad Kevin the consummate pro is there steering the ship, he keeps Brian’s bogan banter at the start in check which is definitely a good thing - once the interviews get going they both work well together.

Legend

Loved listening to Philip Brady.

Fun podcast
