    Today I interview Jason, from Political Cutz who is currently producing his Fringe Festival show, The Builder's Fringe.   Jason's career has seen him go from professional hairdresser to public art producer and performer. With an unconventional path, Jason has learnt business and performance skills that have given him an understanding of what is successful public theatre. Jason is passionate about celebrating non-arts trades in creative contexts, looking to challenge audiences perceptions of what those trades represent. He along with his Fringe Festival show, The Builders Fringe, is constantly evolving Political Cutz & is the current Broker Manager of Urban Dream Brokerage.   You can find Jason's stuff here:   https://fringe.co.nz/show/the-builders'-fringe   http://www.politicalcutz.co.nz/  http://www.urbandreambrokerage.org.nz/   MY STUFF  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gavin.hews/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GavinHews   American Refugees: https://americanrefugees.co.nz/  https://www.facebook.com/Theamericanrefugees

    Gavin Learns - Episode 33 - Know Your Stuff NZ

    Another week another episode!    Today I interviewed KnowYourStuffNZ.    KnowYourStuffNZ is a community organisation of volunteers operating in collaboration with the New Zealand Drug Foundation to provide drug related harm reduction services at events around New Zealand, including drug checking.   I first encountered these guys at a music festival in NZ and I became really curious regarding how they operated, where they started and where they see themselves going forward.    Wendy came on to represent the organisation as the Managing Director. Wendy has been active in the field of drug policy since 2007. Educated in social policy and criminology with a focus on drugs at Victoria University, she began drug checking after the prohibition of “party pills” in 2008 when it became apparent that the now-illegal substance BZP was making its way into the illicit drug market after its prohibition. She started checking at music festivals in 2014.   If you want to learn more about the organisation, click below. FYI, the service is free of charge to clients if you ever come across them at a festival.    KNOW YOUR STUFF LINKS:   Web: https://knowyourstuff.nz/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KnowYourStuffNZ Twitter: https://twitter.com/KnowYourStuffNZ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knowyourstuffnz/  MY STUFF   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gavin.hews/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GavinHews  American Refugees:  https://americanrefugees.co.nz/  https://www.facebook.com/Theamericanrefugees

He currently plays in the Wellington chapter of the Ethersonic music and film project, and released his debut collection of poetry in late 2020, "The Death of Music Journalism".

    Gavin Learns - Episode 30 - Trent Baumann

    Today I interviewed the artist Trent Baumann! I met Trent on the classic comedy circuit and I really wanted to talk about some of the upcoming shows he has coming on. Trent is more of a performer rather than a comic and uses more of a circus performance rather than strict stand up.

    Gavin Learns - Episode 28 - A Dating Coach For Asian Men

    This episode was SUPER fun. Sebastian Yeh used to be a dating coach who specialized in helping Asian men find dates. I found Sebastian, funnily enough, on Reddit where he was hosting an 'Ask Me Anything'. I came into this podcast expecting to talk to a guy who was more or less interested teaching guys how to 'trick' women into sleeping with them but I was actually wrong and kind of convinced of the merits of a dating coach (who is ethically minded).  Sebastian was a great guest, someone who could just go on about any topic!  You can check him out on instagram @iamsebastiansolo.   Once again, my tour is coming up!  Check it out: https://americanrefugees.co.nz/#2429ba2e-74cb-4b3f-8c64-db083b78cf5b
