Players PleasePlay Arn Sean O aka Sean McMahon from THE OWLSSean McMahon plays guitar and sings in Melbourne band, The Owls.
He has released many solo albums and also led a band called Downhills Home.
He is a total music culture person. He has played music since his teens and is a nice person. The music he makes with his friends just keeps getting better.
I always love music with flash and drama and The Owls don't trade or fuss with either of those. No worries.
We talked about his band and his friends and what he had for dinner and ambition and life.2025-07-2954 min
Different NoisesDifferent Noises 94Nearly half way through the year and new music continues to hit the in-box sometimes at a pace it is difficult to keep up with. Another mixed bag this time with the conventional cheek by jowl with the experimental.

BetteCeteraThe Fabulous(?) FourCalling all Pub Subs! We are back with Bette's latest theatrical release and... well, you'll see. We’re spoiling this move (and the series Weeds) so be warned! You'll also hear talk of A Chorus Line, Bradley's big birthday at the end of September, and how Bette wishes she'd sued Lindsay Lohan at the turn of the last century. Sean will talk about his recent travels and Bradley will give you bad accents AND bad math. We watched this movie so you don’t have to! Go watch Weeds instead! SHOW NOTES...2024-09-2044 min
BetteCeteraBig Business Note: This was recorded on June 30th, so it was after the debate (which we wisely cut all mention of) and before anything that has transpired in our political hellscape since then. On with the show! No matter what day it is, it's time to put on your Tuesd'y panties as we travel from Jupiter Hollow, WV to NYC where we will raise some hell and kick some snooty New York aye-ass! In this episode, we discuss a reappearance by Bettecetera fave Barry Primus, revisit West Virginia Hot Dogs, and dig deep into a film th...2024-07-171h 15
BetteCeteraOutrageous FortuneIt took some fits and starts and couple of meltdowns by our editor (Bradley) but the Outrageous Fortune spectacular is finally here! In this episode, Bradley and Sean dig deep into the well-known lack of camaraderie between Bette and Shelley Long while working on the picture, and the facts might surprise you! We also talk about how the character of Stanislav Korzenowski might be a play on the Konstantin Stanislavski and Bradley spends much of the episode confusing the two names not noticing. Finally, we even make a connection to Avril Lavinge’s 2002 hit Sk8r Boi! If...2024-05-2456 min
BetteCeteraRuthless PeopleNew Bettecetera achievement unlocked! This is our second attempt at an episode about the hilarious 1986 comedy classic Ruthless People, as the first one was not up to our exacting standards! We've never done a re-record before, but trust us, you're glad we did. In this episode, we shout out our sisters, get in the the obligatory Barbra reference, read Bette's latest tweets, and you'll also find out what Sean doesn't f--k with. Plus, you'll find out who is the nice one and who is the smart one! If you haven't yet, please give us a fiv...2024-04-1555 min
BetteCeteraBette She Could Have Done It: Bettecetera Rocks Chicago We hope you're ready to let us pepper your ragoût with a special episode that opens and closes with talk of Bette but spends the middle talking about the 2003 Best Picture Chicago. We have survived editing mishaps and background animal noise (Rosie's jangling tags and rapid panting are special guest stars throughout!) to bring this to you, so please join us on a journey that starts with some listener mail and more of Bette's bad tweets, then we'll time travel to the 1970s to imagine a version of Chicago starring Bette and Cher. After that we'll visit the 2000s...2024-02-1954 min

Bradley and Sean returned from their hiatus and they're ready to talk about their lives, including which one of them had Covid, whose car was dying at the time of recording (and is now dead - RIP). They eventually get around to talking about Bette Midler's first picture for Touchstone, Down and Out in Beverly Hills. Plus there's a letter from Bettecetera's Number 1 Fan Nathan, and there's even a brand new theme song. Have a Merry Christmas if you celebrate, and a happy year to all!

BetteCeteraSean and Bradley ARE Divine Madness Bettecetera is back and in honor of the nervous breakdown Bette had in the early 80s, Sean and Bradley are currently nervous breakdowns personified! (Do people still have nervous breakdowns? Are they called something else these days?) While this episode’s main focus is on Bette’s 1980 Concert film, Divine Madness, and her 1980 Barbara Walters interview, your Bettecetera Boys also discuss their obsession with Yellowjackets (including pondering the proper pronunciation of Christina Ricci’s surname), whether or not we remember Smash properly, deleted scenes from The Goonies, and we start the whole thing with a brand new number!
