Radio and performance

 

Radio and performance

 
 

Our podcast, Stupidly Small, topped the iTunes charts and turned an ordinary time into a very nice time indeed.

Podcasting

Lots of people know of The Fitzroy Diaries - a podcast with a full cast, a script spanning three series, and beautiful sound production. Only some people know about the ludicrous, deeply shambolic good time that was The Stupidly Small Podcast with Stew Farrell, who is in my opinion one of the best radio broadcasters and funniest idiots the world has yet seen.

Never don’t work with kids, in my view.

Live performance

If you need an emcee or someone to run something for kids or interview someone or if you want to chuck me on stage or on radio, these are things I have done before and enjoy enormously. I have emceed countless events, have run story workshops for kids, I love talking in libraries, I used to interview people on live radio for a living, and I have written and directed theatre shows in various venues across Melbourne.

Below is a gallery of vaguely relevant tomfoolery.

I have worked in radio a lot which is why my hair is often a shambles.

Radio

I started working in radio in 2004, on Triple M, as a producer and a performer on Mick Molloy’s Tough Love show. I went from there to… Radio National’s arts and culture show. I co-presented Alicia Sometimes’s beautiful show, Aural Text, on Triple R, and I was also a Breakfaster for a short time. Thanks to Radio National, I was able to make The Fitzroy Diaries with Sophie Townsend. I still appear on radio every now and then, and have only had a child fall out of bed and cry directly into the phone on the national broadcaster once.
