    RS#143 - What So Not

    WhatSoNot returns with a masterclass in genre-bending on Podcast 143 of The Roadshow, a conversation that dives deep into an artist whose career reads like a map of the modern dancefloor: fearless, expansive, and relentlessly inventive. Fresh off the release of his new EP with BUUNSHIN—a collaborative tour de force that flits between pulse-pounding bass and shimmering, human moments—WhatSoNot breaks down how two styles collide to create something that feels alive, something beautiful.From the come-up to the stage of global tastemakers, WhatSoNot discusses the grind, the gut, and the grammar of a career built in the margins of genres. He shares his view on the state of the industry, the pressures and freedoms of staying prolific, and what it’s like to be one of Australia’s most enduring voices in electronic music. A true craftsman, he’s turned the idea of “dance music” on its head, bending the changes of reality with creativity to keep listeners present to the sounds of his mind.This episode peels back the layers of a career that has seen him share the stage with the biggest names in the game—Skrillex, Toto, RL Grime, and many more—speaking to the artistry behind those high-profile collabs and what they reveal about his approach to sound design, rhythm, and resonance.WhatSoNot’s take on community, experimentation, and the future of electronic music is as candid as it is visionary. If you’ve ever wondered how a producer who’s helped carve the soundscape of a generation thinks, this is your window into the mind that’s kept our ears surprised and our bodies moving.

    Beneath the Surface: Kurt Krispyn on Protecting Earth’s Most Vital Resource | RS#140

    Estuaries — the delicate places where rivers meet the sea — are among the most overlooked ecosystems on the planet. They act as nurseries for countless fish species, filters for our waterways, and buffers protecting coastlines from storms. Yet, like so much of our natural world, they’re under threat. On Episode 140 of The Roadshow Podcast, host Jacob Roads sits down with marine biologist and podcaster Kurt Krispyn (host of  @Paramount.importance  to explore why these environments matter more than most of us realize — and why their decline is a warning sign we can’t afford to ignore.Krispyn’s expertise is rooted in estuarine science: the study of those brackish, ever-changing waters that sustain life on a scale far larger than most people imagine. In this conversation, he unpacks how waste, pollution, and mismanaged fish farming ripple through estuaries, choking the very nurseries that support biodiversity. He explains how the diversity of fish schools is shrinking, how human activity is reshaping migration patterns, and why estuaries are the frontline in the fight to protect our waters.Roads and Krispyn push past the headlines, asking the hard questions: What happens when estuaries collapse? How does it affect the seafood on our plates, the health of our oceans, and even the climate? And most importantly, what can we do about it?Krispyn’s answers are both sobering and inspiring. He makes it clear that while the decline is real, it isn’t inevitable. From smarter waste management to rethinking aquaculture, from local conservation efforts to global awareness campaigns, he lays out practical steps that communities and individuals can take to preserve these ecosystems. His work — both in the field and on his own podcast, Paramount Importance — reflects a mission to raise awareness about the natural systems we take for granted.For Roads, this is more than just another interview. It’s an urgent reminder that water isn’t a passive backdrop to human life — it’s the active force that makes life possible. And estuaries, often dismissed as murky backwaters, may just be the most important battleground of all.If you’ve ever wondered why environmental decline feels so close to home, this episode will give you the answers — and the call to action — you’ve been looking for.🔔 Subscribe to The Roadshow Podcast for more conversations with thinkers, doers, and visionaries shaping the future of our world.

    'I Killed The Prom Queen Returns' RS#139 | Michael Crafter

    The godfather energy is real. In this episode, Michael Crafter—founding voice of Australian metalcore and the engine behind Confession—sits down to talk scars, scene, and the fire it takes to come back swinging. From early-2000s DIY chaos to main-stage mayhem. I Killed The Prom Queen, the breakups, Delta Goodrem, rumours and why the timing finally felt right to step back into the spotlight. We get into the band’s 25th-anniversary victory lap—IKTPQ reuniting the classic nucleus (Crafter, Jona Weinhofen, Kevin Cameron, JJ Peters) for a set that reclaims a decade of riffs and rapture, while honoring the low-end legacy of the late Sean Kennedy. Expect a celebration and a reckoning, not a nostalgia act. On the tour: it’s a national run across Australia from late September into October 2025, with heavyweight support from @Emmure (USA), To The Grave, and Threshold—an unapologetic, elbows-out bill built for circle pits and catharsis. Tickets are moving through the usual suspects. This comeback didn’t appear out of thin air. We talk about the behind-the-scenes calls that made it real, and how years of side hustles, setbacks, and stage cameos (hello, @Parkwaydrive ) sharpened Crafter’s focus for this moment. If you grew up on breakdowns and battered hi-hats, this one’s a time capsule and a flare gun.
