    Parcopresis with Alex Jae and Alexei Toliopoulos

    The podcaster community is a tight one. We tend to all have the same challenges of finding fresh guests for each episode. Invite one podcast host to be a guest on your show, and they’ll put you in touch with another who could be a potential guest, or they’ll introduce you to a podcast that you may not have been aware of. 
    Todays episode is a case in point.
    Alexei Toliopoulos has been on the show before - he’s a prolific podcaster whose latest show The Last Video Store is an absolute delight tailor made to show off his encyclopaedic knowledge of cinema.
    This time he's brought along Alex Jae, who is likewise a host of several podcasts, her latest one being Screen Queens, a twice-weekly podcast about EVERYTHING you watch and see on your screens. From cinema to television to tiktok and everything in between.

    Fan Fiction with Tarsh Jago and Imogen Whittaker

    Fan Fiction with Tarsh Jago and Imogen Whittaker

    Comedian Tarsh Jago and cabaret artist Imogen Whittaker met in the considerably unlikely world of Aboriginal health policy and advocacy. But these friends found that they share a great deal of common ground.
    In their defence, the first half of this quiz is pretty tricky. Question writer Cindy MacDonald really didn't hold back this week.
    See how you go yourself!

    Writing with Worms with Sofija Stefanovic and Liam Pieper

    Liam Pieper and Sofija Stefanovic are old friends who went to high school together. They've since both gone on to write moving and funny memoirs about their childhoods. Sofija wrote about being an immigrant kid in Australia during the dissolution of Yugoslavia, while Liam used his teenage experience of selling pot around the suburbs of Melbourne from the back of his pushbike to tell a story of family, addiction and learning how to live with yourself. And now they tackle the quiz together to promote the Melbourne Writers Festival.
    Go see Sofija talk with Prize-winning writers Siang Lu (Ghost Cities) and Laura Jean McKay (Gunflower)

    DemisFeet.com with Demi Lardner and David Correos

    This episode is possibly the most chaotic the podcast has ever been. Demi and David are masters of surfing the absurd and are both very comfortable teetering at the edge of the abyss of improvisation. They are also both very funny people.
    See Demi and David in their show at the Sydney Comedy Festival:
