The Track

WELCOME! Today's episode is about 'Changing Careers' and here to discuss it is comedian Lizzy Hoo. Lizzy is my friend and started stand up comedy at 32 - which is older than when most of us find our way into it. She then gave up her corporate warlord lifestyle to become a touring comedian. I don't get it personally (lol) but she's great and this is a fun conversation. As always, I hope you enjoy yourself and I hope your career dreams are coming true.

Season 1 | Episode 7 Super cool DJ Sarah joins the Track this week. She's travelled all over the world as part of her solo act, and as part of in2steller (who I managed to miss at Meredith as I was asleep on a couch). She runs thru what's going on in the music industry - particularly the Australian scene + also starts asking me questions about stand up at the end. My gut tells me she wants to start doing stand up, Anyway, she rules, this ep rules. My favourite one so far! Sponsored by Taunton Town FC.

Season 1 | Episode 691 Australian Senator Lidia Thorpe came on The Track and rolled through it with me. If you've ever wanted to see a below average intelligence man interviewing a high-level politician, this is the episode for you. She went through how/why she stormed the stage and yelled at The King, why she'll let me keep my backyard when we get a treaty, the price of fish, plus how the bubble works in Canberra secrets. Pretty cool.
