This is the first of two episodes recorded that night, which sees the inimitable Alex the Astronaut, L-FRESH the LION and Dear Seattle's Brae Fisher coming together for a wholly unique and entertaining panel.

That was life for a young Maddy Jane, whose connection to music was her ticket to the world. Now a resident on the mainland - Wollongong, specifically - Maddy's brand of heartfelt jangly indie-rock has afforded her a myriad of unbelievable opportunities. From arena openers, to national tours, to her very own prom night, Maddy has taken it all on - and that was all before her album even came out. Now, with her album out and (at long last) some shows to play, Maddy is ready to share her...2020-10-2339 min\"Chewing the Fat"Episode 8 - Social MediaThis week the boys chat all things social media.

Except, of course, this one. A wholly DIY freak-folk expedition, Crywank have been streamed millions of times and faced a fervent cult fanbase wherever they would show their faces. How exactly did two working-class English punks make such a considerable dent?

In her late 20s, she now stands as one of the country's most promising and captivating singer-songwriters, thanks to both her solo debut as well as two modern-classic LPs with previous band Two Steps On The Water. In September 2019, Jones was part of a national tour in support of Seeker Lover Keeper.

Really, it doesn't matter - any way you cut it, Joyce Manor have been one of the most consistent and engaging bands in rock throughout the 2010s. Never quite settling, and constantly switching things up, the band has found a cult following that's lead to sold-out shows and deafening sing-alongs in just about every corner of the planet.

It's bunny-moshing and sugar-rushes one moment, slow-dances and sombre synths the next. Across two albums, it's made them one of the most captivating new bands on the indie-rock circuit - and in July of 2019, it was finally Australia's turn to experience this exceptional band in the flesh. Over a couple of jetlagged drinks in Sydney, frontwoman Eva Hendricks and guitarist Spencer Fox let loose on everything from the art of percussion to their best-forgotten nu-folk project.

Azim Zain is a Malaysian-born singer, songwriter, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist that has split his life between Adelaide, Sydney and Canberra. Unfortunately, Azim was recently deported, meaning he can't be with us here in Australia to share this story.

Persevering through hellish piano lessons, Geneve later discovered the healing powers of Acca Dacca and The Living End. She's long since turned the amp up to 11 and carved her own path in the rock world. Although she's only 20 years old, Geneve has already lapped up considerable national attention for her endearing and honest music.

This week Ian and James spend some time unpacking the concept of The Sublime. Have you ever stared at something so big, so awesome, so towering that it was jarring? Did it kick you in the shins, give you goosebumps or turn your stomach upside-down? That's the sublime. Edmund Burke, a philosopher from the mid to late 1700s, popularized the notion of The Sublime. Not as just an expression of beauty, which it had been mostly up until that point...2019-05-3055 minTo: PlayerTo: PlayerEpisode 19 – AC Odyssey, Part 2 (aka Final Odyssey VII)This game is a doozie. An epic doozie, and it took us on our on Odyssey to complete it. Playing and discussing this game nearly broke us and turned us into just another game review podcast. But we swear it, we're getting back to our roots.

Having started this game more than a month ago our opinions have shifted slightly from where they were. Having been somewhat rose-tinted before, that shine is starting to wear off for Ian - though James is still very much in the thick of it. What did you think of the title? Is this just Origin's Lite?

They both latched onto music young, they bashed about in their teenage years and they found a wider audience for their emotive and honest take on indie rock in their 20s.

It has some good qualities but eventually that negative reputation starts to make sense to Ian, it's just a shame that he realized it after buying the game.

We talk about the Danish custom of Hygge, aka that sweet cozy hibernation station exercise, and figure out how we can square-peg-round-whole this paradigm shift into our own lifestyles.

The multi-instrumentalist has played with Kate Miller-Heidke, toured the world and been through the ringer both in a band and as a solo artist.

It's a nifty non-fiction called Wonderland: How Play Made the Modern World by Stephen Johnson. We found it on the MIT Press Game Design tab, and Johnson had previously been on the New York Times Bestseller's List for his book How We Got to Now. The book's thesis is wonderfully straightforward, as it argues that delight - not necessity, not hunger, not capitalism, etc - led to the most forward thinking and powerful innovations of our modern world.

Games provide simulated experiences, but the emotions and choices that they invoke are still real. So, are we in a simulation or the straight up base reality? We also bring on a guest, Dr. Jonathan Arendt, who helps us wade through the monster of this philosophy. As we continue to creep towards a world with more incorporated virtual experiences, it's important to weigh how important the distinction between the real and virtual really is. Are you more free in the simulation or reality? 2018-11-0156 minAll My Friends Are in Bar BandsAll My Friends Are in Bar BandsEpisode 114: My Friends PaganMelbourne band Pagan aren't concerned with round holes and square pegs – they're too busy trying to kick the door down and rip down the foundations.

We also discuss how video games and sports continue to replicate each others' structure and format more and more, and how viewers and players alike are changing their tastes to match.

It is a bleak game designed with the intention to build empathy in its players, having them experience some of the difficulties of wartime through an indie-game lens. This game dealt with some very difficult subjects, and so with that in mind we think its important to put a trigger warning in place. This game has instances of violence, both physical and sexual in nature.

The Walking Dead, Season 1 consists of five episodes and was released between April and November 2014.

It is also stated, incorrectly, that Dr. Sicart works at the "MIT Research Labs," which not only isn't a thing but incorrect either way.
