Front and Centre Podcast

It's the final episode of Front & Centre! How incredibly sad! But it is not over yet!!! Join Sean and Julza one last time as they count down their top five favourite news stories from the season and talk about some of their favourite moments, funny and inspiring, of the season. Stick around though, for when Sean and Julza give each other the iconic Quickfire Round® treatment, interview each other about what is planned for the future, and try not to cry!

What a plot twist for Episode 11 of Front & Centre, we're not interviewing just any incredible young person, we're having a conversation with the especially amazing General Manager of SYN, Tess Lawley! This is the perfect episode to listen to if you're aspiring to be in the radio industry, because Tess has some amazing advice for all us dreamers. Speaking of dreamers, one crazy man fantasised of the perfect break-up, so he paid a thief to steal his girlfriend's stuff to make it easier! Not a great plan. You know what else isn't a great plan? Rapper BoB raising $1 million to launch a satellite into space to prove the world is flat! At least there's the forever wholesome Octlantis to keep Sean and Julza sane.

It's the Front and Centre TEDxYouth Special!!! Sean and Julza are especially excited to interview not one, but two guests. The boys get the honour of speaking with Emily Wurramara, a young, indigenous, environmental activist who performed at TEDxYouth Sydney, and Macinley Butson, a 16-year-old inventor and genius who has won worldwide science competitions and it set to change the world. That's not all though! Sean and Julza also talk about the bizarre laws against solar power in Florida, and the drive-through-funeral trend taking over Japan's billion-dollar funeral industry. Oh, and don't forget about the upcoming Doomsday on Saturday 23rd September! Happy listening!

It's Front & Centre's electronic special!!! Where we are playing electronic music to go along with our incredible conversation with the phenomenal Black Summer, a 14-year-old DJ who blew up on the music scene when he was only 11, turning the heads of artists such as Flume and Deadmau5. Another great conversation with another great guest! But first, in the weekly unheard-of news, Sean and Julza discuss something weirder than Julza's sense of humour; art exhibits, and there have been some absolute doozies this week, from Pixar's Up-inspired installations, to museums chasing fatbergs (they're a real thing), to an Acro-cat circus!

It's the first week of September and spring which brings only one thing: the annual Dog Carrying Festival in China, and the publication of the 2018 Guinness Book of Records! Best time of the year! After Sean and Julza deliberate these crazy occurrences, as well as the Vatican's wacky ban on gluten-free bread, they then indulge in a conversation with Donut King Morgan Hipworth, an incredible 16-year-old who is completely running his own Bistro Morgan, serving up 'seriously good donuts,' while still finding time to get his homework done.

It was a beautiful day in Melbourne during Episode 7, but not so much in New York and China, where sinkholes seem to be swallowing people up, left, right and (Front &) centre, and in America, where nuns are up to no good, robbing banks! On the brighter side, the 10th annual World Gravy Wrestling happened this week in Manchester... ok... It was also a beautiful and inspiring interview with Monique Trsuler of the VFLW Box Hill Hawks, teaching us about the hard work it takes to be the best of the best, which includes running distances Sean and Julza couldn't imagine. Tune in for an extra 10 minutes of interview not aired live, including an extra quick fire question!

What's the weirdest 'vessel,' from which you have ever eaten your food? How about a dog bowl, like 1 in 10 Brits said they'd be cool doing? Well tuck into a hipster meal on a hipster 'vessel,' while Sean and Julza talk about this and the conspiracy theories surrounding the recent solar eclipse. Who doesn't enjoy a good conspiracy? Sean and Julza then have a truly enlightening discussion with Imam Kamran Tahir, delving into the initiatives started by the young Imam, such as 'I'm a Muslim, Ask Me Anything,' with the goal of dispelling racism, prejudice and misconceptions of the Isamic Religion. Not a show to miss!

There's some weird stuff is happening in Europe, from anti-tourism protests to Germans swimming to work to Belgian Brotherhoods making massive omlettes. After we all learn to be better global citizens, we speak to 2 outstanding global citizens, Liam and Dan Poole, who run Crepes for Change, a social enterprise dedicated to alleviating youth homelessness through delicious French desserts. Another quality show by your favourite radio presenters, Sean and Julza.

The world’s leaders really are crazy, especially in Episode 4 of Front & Centre, where Sean and Julza gush over Putin’s glorious 46 minute, topless fishing propaganda video, and admire Sir Trump-a-Lot (copyright Sean) and his ‘Real News,’ channel that totally delivers completely real news for sure. Your favourite radio presenters then interview the incredible Isabella Moore, a young woman who runs a music blog, Homemade Dynamite, has worked for Triple J Unearthed AND helps run an underage music festival called XraySpeX… and she’s only 15! What a show!!!

Have you ever seen a beached whale in Paris? Or wanted to own an island in Scotland? That’s the interesting news Sean and Julza will be discussing in Episode 2 of Front & Centre, followed by an interview with the awesome indie folk bro-sis duo Miss Eileen and King Lear, who even play a live song for us!

In Episode 3 of Front & Centre, Sean and Julza discuss the miraculous rediscovery of the Dinosaur Ant, the baffling state of the Venezuelan currency and the addictive and dangerous sport of Pigeon Racing that is leading to increased divorce rates in Indonesia. They are also lucky enough to interview the awesome Nick Pearce from HoMie, a social enterprise dedicated to providing pathways and opportunities to individuals experiencing homelessness.

In the first episode of Front & Centre, Sean and Julza discuss the unfathomable amount of trees planted in India and the mysterious Broken Heart Syndrome, before interviewing the super cool Katia Pellicciotta, co-founder of the Art Zine, Discord.
