When Deborah Conway rebelled against her father's wishes and joined a band, it was the start of a life long career. From the creation of the undeniably catchy "Man Overboard" with Do Re Mi, to her fearless explorations beyond the realm of music into modeling and acting, her story is as much a ballad of personal triumph as it is a chronicle of her artistic journey.

When the chords of "Power and the Passion" resonate, one can't help but be transported to a time of potent political statements wrapped in rock anthems. That's the kind of evocative power my guest, Jim Moginie of Midnight Oil, brings to our podcast. We take a stroll down memory lane with him, as he recalls the band's storied past and their electrifying performance at Bluesfest in the throes of a pandemic. Jim's personal journey from an adopted child in conservative Sydney to a music icon is no less compelling, shaping not only his art but his world view. And as we discuss his memoir, we uncover the layers of a song that's as relevant today as it was decades ago.

Beyond the stage lights and guitar riffs, there's a rich tapestry of Irish music that's close to Jim's heart, and it runs through our conversation like a vibrant thread. The intimate pub sessions, the storytelling—they're all part of a cultural legacy that he holds dear.

Our episode transcends mere chords and lyrics, touching on the shared human experiences: confronting fears, the hard-won lessons of personal failures, and the growth that comes from them. As Jim talks about the upcoming film "The Hardest Line", we explore the sustaining power of music and the indelible marks it leaves on our lives.

Join us for a session that's as much about the man behind the music as it is about the enduring beat of rock 'n' roll.

When Australian guitar virtuoso Ian Moss strums into the conversation, you know you're in for more than a few chords of wisdom. This episode's rhythmic narrative takes us on a tour with Ian as he recounts the adventures of his latest 'Rivers Run Dry' tour and the tales behind the album's creation. It's a journey through the melodies and musings of a man whose name is synonymous with the legendary band Cold Chisel, giving listeners an exclusive seat at a table usually reserved for rock royalty.

Here's a musical feast for your ears: imagine the process of laying down a studio album in just ten days, then self-producing it when challenges strike. Ian Moss shares the studio's high notes and the harmonious decision-making that led to the outstanding final product. He didn't just stop there; we tuned into the possibility of reuniting with old bandmate Don Walker, the dynamics of their past collaborations, and the respect that fuels their enduring friendship.

I couldn't help but feel the buzz of nostalgia as I sat down with the one and only Shannon Noll, whose voice has become synonymous with the Australian spirit.
