  • Julie is back in the van and we've parked up at Ocean Beach at Umina. There's multiple dog interruptions, ladies learning to surf, we'll tell you about the greatest headphones going around, and we'll try to unpack "If you were alone on a trail, would you rather run into a bear or a man?"...


    A lot of laughs in this one! Hope you enjoy it!

  • The Podvan went Creeping Up Slowly to the front of Avoca Beach Theatre where Jason from Taxiride was about to Get Set for his gig to celebrate 25 Years Of Taxiride! (25 years to the day from when they released their debut album). We chat to fans, we talk about what it's like to live life as a full-time muso with Brett Wood (who is playing support for the band) and Jason and Jeremy get in the van for a singalong at the end. The end is soooo good!
