Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Oliver Cronin on Musical Roots, "7500 Miles" & Industry Pressure
Q: Why did you decide to take time off between projects?
I needed to look inward, stop trying to fit into a specific box, and Rediscover who I was and what I wanted to be as an artist, which ultimately made the music more honest and freeing.
Mr. Fantasy confirms he's coming to Australia — and makes Nic a personal promise
Q: Mr. Fantasy, in terms of song, became such a massive global phenomenon. When did you decide you were going to make a whole album out of this music?
He explains that there wasn't a formal decision to make an album; he was simply writing music, and upon reflection, chose to release it all as an album, with many songs dating back over a decade. The process was more about following inspiration and collaboration than hitting a predefined plan.
Hayden James on Writing Music Nobody Asked For — And Why That's the Point
Q: How much downtime are you going to get over the next little while considering you are back on the grind?
The next couple of months are nuts with travel; I balance shows with family time, like flying to the States midweek for shows and returning to do school drop-offs, trying to find pockets of normalcy.
Hayden James on Writing Music Nobody Asked For — And Why That's the Point
Q: Do you ever get a chance to still let your hair down?
Yes, sometimes, but I'm pretty disciplined overall; I'll have a wine here and there with my wife, but I stay focused on music and family.
Wasia Project on Saying Goodbye to Heartstopper & The Next Big Roller Coaster
Q: What do you think makes your live shows different from listening to the records?
Live performances carry the essence of the songs in a different way; the energy, crowd connection, and the immediacy of playing together in real time create a unique experience that enhances the recorded material.
