Ep 214- Tom Tilley Jun 12, 2022

Show notes

He's been in our ears for over a decade now, but you've never heard him like this. Former Triple J stalwart turned Australian media mercenary Tom Tilley finally joins The Betoota Advocate Podcast to discuss his wildly unconventional upbringing in rural NSW. One of four boys, raised on a 12-acre block without power and running water - in a family whose whole world revolved around a very devout branch of Pentecostalism. Before he was speaking on the airwaves, Tilley was speaking in tongues. This interview covers his journey in the church, and his eventual escape.

Ep 213- Polish Club Jun 05, 2022

Show notes

The glorious purge of all political interviews continues this week, as The Betoota Advocate sits down with Sydney garage rock duo The Polish Club. Speaking candidly, vocalist and guitarist David Novak and drummer John-Henry Pajak explain to the editors just what these last couple of years have been like for touring artists. They answer the big questions. Does TikTok terrify them? What is on the horizon? What makes a good song in 2022? And why the hell don't they play in actual Polish Clubs.
