Send us a textJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians.Eskimo Joe's Kav Temperley opens up about the band's remarkable three-decade journey in Australian music and their electrifying new single "Miracle Cure." From their humble Fremantle beginnings to becoming ARIA chart-toppers, this conversation reveals the authentic storytelling and creative chemistry that has kept them at the forefront of Australia's music scene.Growing up in Fremantle's nurturing artistic community, Kav shares how the town's creative atmosphere shaped his musical destiny from an early age. "If you wanted to be a professional artist of any description, no one would say 'what are you going to do for a real job?'" he recalls. This supportive environment fostered the connections that would become Eskimo Joe, when childhood friends and neighbors discovered their shared musical passion.The band's evolution from campus band competition winners to multi-platinum selling artists showcases their remarkable resilience and adaptability. After taking a creative break in 2013, they've returned with renewed energy, embracing today's digital landscape while maintaining their commitment to meticulous songwriting. Their latest single "Miracle Cure" draws inspiration from what Kav calls "Australian Gothic" – blending their signature sound with influences from the vast Australian landscape they experienced during their storytelling acoustic tour.Perhaps most fascinating is their intentional shift away from traditional album cycles, choosing instead to craft one perfect song at a time. "We are so annoyingly fastidious," Kav admits with a laugh, explaining their Beatles-influenced approach to songwriting. With a 20th anniversary celebration of "Black Fingernails Red Wine" on the horizon and more new music in the works, Eskimo Joe continues to demonstrate why they've remained relevant across generations. Stream "Miracle Cure" now and discover why this beloved Australian band still rocks after all these years.What have Eskimo Joe been up to lately?  Let's find out!!Get out when you can, support local music and I'll see you down the front!!Visit: ThatRadioChick.com.au

If you've ever had a lifelong battle with a personal problem, chances are you have taken a few weird - maybe drastic - measures to come out on top.

Belinda Alexandra is an international bestselling author with a whole string of blockbuster historicals to her credit, but she has taken a new path with her latest book, The Mystery Woman. It has been characterized by one reviewer as “Australian Gothic”, a story of secrets, lies and unexplained death in a 1950s country town. In some ways it has a few similarities to Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, or hints of it. Hi there, I'm your host, Jenny Wheeler and today in Binge Reading Belinda talks about her long road to publication, her passion for cats, and why psychopathic personality traits seem to be more evident today than ever before.

But now, here's Belinda. Introducing Belinda Alexandra Jenny Wheeler: Hello there, Belinda and welcome to the show. It's so good to have you with us. Belinda Alexandra: It's so good to be speaking with you, Jenny. Jenny Wheeler: You are a bestselling and highly successful author. When I started this podcast and asked around amongst my friends, a lot of times they said, “get Belinda Alexandra on”, so your name is really well known. Belinda Alexandra - Blockbuster international author The latest book we are going to be talking about today is The Mystery Woman. It has been called "Australian Gothic" by one reviewer, and you have said that it's a bit of a departure from some of your earlier books. Tell us about how it's different. Belinda Alexandra: A lot of my earlier books were big historical sagas – sweeping generations and across countries and so on. But I think there comes a time in every author's life, especially when we have written quite a few books, when there is that other book inside of us we want to write. I had been very influenced by classic noir mystery stories. My mother used to gobble those down and I used to watch them with her when I was a child, so I think I always had that desire in me to write something more contained. It was an opportunity to do that. I think we like to stretch ourselves as authors and to do something a bit different, so I wanted to create a story that was in a more claustrophobic environment in a small Australian town – the sort of thing that you could imagine you would watch on TV, looking through your fingers, with a sense of suspense and an atmosphere about it. Shades of du Maurier's Rebecca Jenny Wheeler: As you've been talking, and as I was picturing you with your mother, it does have shades of Rebecca, doesn't it? Belinda Alexandra: Yes. I wanted to give a nod to that because that was one of the books I've loved, but also the classic film by Alfred Hitchcock was so wonderfully done. When we talk about Gothic, a lot of the time people get confused by that term. They think it might mean vampire novels or horror fiction, but a classic Gothic story is a story that has elements of suspense, and usually a setting that could be naturally beautiful, but it has a sense of foreboding about it. Several movie of Du Maurier's Rebecca - which one is your favorite?

‘Whether Picnic at Hanging Rock is fact or fiction, my readers must decide for themselves.' It's a scorching St Valentine's Day in 1900 when three boarding-school girls and a teacher disappear during a day-trip to Hanging Rock in the arid Australian outback. Fact or fiction? Misadventure or murder? Accident or assassination? Join us on our latest literary podcast adventure as we delve into the mystery, history and hysteria of Joan Lindsay's classic Australian Gothic novel with Kate Young, author of The Little Library Cookbook. From the slow-seeping horror of Hanging Rock to coming-of-age tales of tuck boxes and midnight feasts, high jinks and humour, Kate guides the Slightly Foxed magazine team through the school-story tradition and asks why it's such fertile ground for fiction. On the way we visit the Chalet School, Malory Towers and St Trinian's, and slip into darker territory with Decline and Fall, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go. In this month's literary expedition, we take a peek inside Quentin Blake's House of Illustration, and to finish there's the usual wide-ranging round-up of current reading featuring: Anthony Buckeridge's classic Jennings series of prep-school stories; Emily Danforth's romp, Plain Bad Heroines, inspired by Shirley Jackson; and Tsitsi Dangarembga's tale of a young girl from a rural village in Zimbabwe, Nervous Conditions.Please find links to books, articles, and further reading listed below.

Australian Gothic - The Murder of Angelo Agostinelli...In May 1994, caravan park owner Angelo Agostinelli went missing from the small town of Millicent in South Australia. The gossip around town was that he'd run off with another woman, but as days turned into weeks an intricate murder conspiracy unfolded. Angelo's disappearance sent the community into a frenzy and it was hard to differentiate fact from fiction amid all the increasingly outrageous rumours and that were being thrown around. In time, all of the caravan park's dirty laundry would be hung out to dry and all its dirty little secrets were exposed...It would also turn a lot of the towns folk vegetarian.

Veteran Aussie Director Brian Trenchard-Smith and Mark Hartley talk trailers: BTS directed hundreds and tells all. Donna McRae discusses her second microbudget feature "Lost Gully Road", a supernatural thriller.

This story was inspired by my first visit to Queensland .  As I listened to the fruit bats fighting in the outside in the warm thick Townsville night, I thought about how perfect this sound was for Australian Gothic and wondered…
