The last The Recipe episode for the forseeable future and a fond farewell to all the people I now call friends and the memories and experiences I have had. I was so fortunate to have been accepted to present on 4ZZZ literally this time last year. I remember putting my pitch together and a mock show and crossing my fingers and hoping. To find out that I had a daytime show and was able to do exactly as I had hope was a DREAM come true.

As a part of this show I have had the opportunity to interview some incredible guests and work alongside the most wonderful team of humans here at 4ZZZ. I am grateful beyond belief about this opportunity and will hold many cherished memories of the times we had. 

I love music and I love talking about music, playing music and talking other musicians about the music they play. This show has been a joy and I will miss being a part of the family here (and it really feels like a family). I hope to one day return to the airwaves because doing this show has been a highlight of my week.

I am leaving to pursue my music more thoroughly and find my place in the world of songwriters and musicians who I interviewed this year. Again, thanks so much to Grace, Pat, Blair, Amy, Anne, Chris, Charlotte, Avaxxa, Nico, Dan and Billie and all the other people who have made this year one of my most enjoyable.

The Biggest Love, tt.

Lincoln has been involved with multiple festivals and events over the past few years and this years Yonder is his maiden voyage as captain of the ship. In this conversation we talk about:

  • The diversity in the lineup including gender parity and First Nation's representation
  • The muti-arts focus of the festival including theatre activations, live art-walls and digital art installs
  • How Lincoln got started in putting on events the feel of being in the kitchen of a Queenslander with a band playing in the living room
  • and much much more

Thanks so much to Lincoln for coming through (and Amy for helping organise). Yonder promises to be a big shmood and I will be going to make sure you say hello if you see ya boy.
