Samuel Gaskin - Singer, Dancer, Actor, Activist and Change Maker. We get into his origin story, what it was like growing up in Australia as a curvaceous, black gay man and what it means for him now. Gaskin is a doer and his work with the indigenous people of Australia and New Zealand is both humbling and admirable.

During these Covid times, I think it&apos;s appropriate to pop a bottle of bubbly and bring the party and good vibes to lounge room and just freak out.  Everybody needs a little Hip Hop, Pop, Raps, Rhymes and Dancey Disco Delights. There is no better person than my next guest to make this all happen.  So let yourself go with the multitalented Hugo Bladel.

Wee is where Folk meets Pop, but in that cool vagabond way.  Glenn has been streamed by the hundreds and thousands cause he&apos;s the coolest, catchiest, hippest, hippy-Singaporean you&apos;ll ever meet. Listen to us talk of the nights we spent in Singapore and of course Glen Wee&apos;s undeniable sound.

Jasmyne Middleton is an absolutely tasty treat for the ears. She&apos;s got a stellar clear vocal that&apos;ll haunt, taunt and flaunt through your cerebellum long after the song is done. Middleton puts the poetry back into songwriting whilst keeping it fresh, sexy and mysterious.
