https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-2kb2y-1ad7893 On August 7, 1994, police stormed the Tasty Nightclub in Melbourne and forced 463 people to strip-search, humiliating and violating a queer community that had come to dance and be themselves.

Sammy and Dave: One Night, Two Men, and the Things We Don’t Say

Some stories arrive fully formed. Others creep in sideways, tapping you on the shoulder. “Sammy and Dave” is one of those pieces. It’s the story of two bisexual men who rendezvous in a Paris hotel room. It’s about the tension between who we are and who we pretend to be, and how a single night can hold a lifetime of longing, regret, and possibility. Sammy and Dave don’t fall in love. They don’t…

The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams - Review

“I didn’t go to the moon, I went much further—for time is the longest distance between two places.” – Tom Wingfield Long before it became an American classic, The Glass Menagerie was Tennessee Williams rewriting his own history. Premiering in 1944, it introduced the Wingfields—characters drawn so closely from his real mother and sister that the line between memory and invention almost…

Inside the Bubble (Feat. Dr Hubble)

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-y62s7-1a8b4be This episode is unashamedly about bubbles — why, you ask? Because we’ve got Dr Hubble, and the man knows more about bubbles than most people have had bubble baths. On Inside the Bubble for Noel Anderson’s 15 Minutes of Fame, he talks through the tricks of the trade, slips in a little science, and keeps the conversation bubbling along. Dr Hubble…
