Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet
48 Dilruk Jayasinha (stand-up comic and actor).

"Stay true to yourself and anything’s possible.” - Dilruk Jayasinha

International comedian, actor, podcaster and former accountant Dilruk Jayasinha has travelled around Australia and the world performing alongside other international comedians of the likes of Wil Anderson, Sammy J & Randy and more.

With upcoming shows around Australia, including Melbourne International Comedy Festival (he sold-out 22 shows last year and had to book more), Adelaide Fringe Festival, recurring roles on “Sammy J and Randy in Rickets Lane” on the ABC and The Little Dum Dum Club podcast.

We have vast, ranging chats about the invention of Beroffee (Berocca and coffee), the inspiration and careers of Ricky Gervais and Wil Anderson, riding elephants, nudie runs and smashing tinnies in accounting lectures (very rock & roll), Dilruk's love & connection with his wonderfully supportive family, facing your fears through stand-up content, tales of Dil’s time growing up in Sri Lanka, a few of my own Sri Lankan experiences in Colombo, Kandy and Negumbo as an international Emirates Airline flight attendant and so much more.

Fascinating podcast with a hilarious comedian, who left me feeling inspired and full of energy for my own dreams after an hour and a half with a like-minded soul.

47 - Dan Kelly (Australian singer/songwriter 'Leisure Panic’).
Wanderlust. A strong desire to travel. One of the key qualities that so many of my inspired and inspiring podcast guests and I connect with and upon on a regular basis. The insatiable urge to explore, meet new people, learn about the world, the people in it and ourselves... to feel like we're moving forward and constantly evolving... as individuals... as professionals, no matter what industry we work in... Just to feel alive!

And this is where Dan Kelly and I connected… A career musician who tours with the likes of Bic Runga, Paul Kelly, Augie March, Casey Chambers & more, today we delve into wonderful, ranging chats from Leonard Cohen, cliff swims and 10 day getaways on the Island of Hydra, Dan Kelly’s Polish grandparents and an English mum who settled in Australia at the price of a £10 note, Dan Kelly's childhood and the contrasts of growing up between South Australia and the harsh realities of the Gold Coast in the 80s, the techniques we use individually dealing with the current age of overstimulation and the anxiety it brings, the meaning of 'Leisure Panic’ and the stories to tell behind the music.

Softly spoken and thoughtful, Dan Kelly left me pondering how I roll across the years of this lifetime, the events that have shaped my outlook, tenacious approach and the people that guide my own moral compass.

This is a beauty… Enjoy!

46 The Basics (The Age Of Entitlement LP & Tour).

Loose loose chats with the boys from The Basics...

Privileged enough to be invited into their descript ;) discreet Melbourne rehearsal space, where Kris, Wally and Tim are prepping for their upcoming ‘The Age Of Entitlement’ album launch tour which starts this week in Melbourne - it was straight into the fire with my jet-lagged ass having to work my ass off to keep up with the easy, quick-fire banter that these lads are renown for in person and on stage.

Fuckin’ hilarious regardless and I held my own in patches as we cover everything from the boys favourite pasta recipes, to saving wild tortoises & echidnas, how we’re living in this country, The Age Of Entitlement, the choices we make and how so many of us are just not making enough individual effort to contribute by lending our voice to the social issues of the current age, Castlemaine Rock, The Basics time spent recording in Abbey Road Studios, traveling to Turkey and the wonderful Turkish people, the opulence of the USA, the earliest ever memory of Wally De Backer AKA Gotye with a solitary Billy Goat Gruff and being serenaded by a homeless person in downtown Los Angeles, Tim Heath’s Iced VoVos and independent French comedy-drama film ‘Samba’. 

Wonderful contrasting chats and I thoroughly enjoyed spending an hour with the lads before they got back to jamming for this national Australian tour.

This album is about social issues… it’s not political record… “It’s just about love and wanting to be loved and caring for other people… and that’s it."

Get out and buy it… And go see a show, bitches!

45 Dave Anthony (LA PodFest organizer & comedian)
Welcome to this 45th edition of Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet. This is a mini-cast that I recorded with LA Podcast Festival organizer, stand-up comedian and fellow podcaster Dave Anthony.
 
In today’s chat, Dave Anthony and I talk about the invention of LA PodFest and how it came to be, Dave’s World Record for blocking Twitter followers, what not to do on Twitter if you’re a comedy and podcast fan, the Ear Buds Podcast Movie and the wonderful experience that Dave had connecting with a long-time podcast fan via Twitter right when the devastating tsunami hit the coastline of Japan a few years back and then later being able to meet her in person.
 
Enjoy!
