Ep.22; Imani interviews, Raphael Farmer |2020
So I had a total fanpeep moment at the beginning of this one but managed to pull myself together and seem almost sort of professional eventually... but he's so cool!!
We talked about his short stories, Firefly, Carried away and Island Boy, which are all awesome and we also talked about video games, gay love stories, comic books, that time he met Tom Felton and his migration from Mauritius to Perth.

Ep.21;Imani Interviews, AJ Betts |2020
I was a little (okay a lot) start struck during this interview But AJ is just so humble, kind and funny, so we had a lot of fun, some of my questions were a little tough, but it was all in good fun. This was definitely a career highlight for me.
We chatted about cycling around Europe, the ups and downs of book tours, the concept of "good vs evil", characters in her books that we love but would hate to meet and SO MUCH MORE.
This is random, but if you know what this book is, please let us know: It's a picture book from a few decades ago, it features a king from a faraway land and a ticking cake which everyone thinks is a bomb but it turns out it's just a ticking cake?
Also; PSA: Don't ever give this woman a boring ice cream, she deserves an epic ripple and crunchy stuff in it! Here's some links to check out AJ's awesomeness:

How awesome is Josh Langley! His newest book "Magnificent Mistakes and Fantastic Failures" was launched right at the beginning of the pandemic but is thankfully, now getting out to families. I have a copy and LOVE it! We chatted about using kindness as a super power, building residence, setting our fear to the side so we can be ourselves and other important things like drawing poop for a living while other people have to work, flowers, pasta and of course; ice cream. Here's the link to our interview from last year in case you missed it and some links to stalk, I mean check out Josh Langley! www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7SRVP6iyZo www.facebook.com/joshlangleywriter https://joshlangley.com.au/ www.instagram.com/joshlangleyauthor
