In this episode, writer, theatre maker and hip hop artist Candy Bowers joins us to discuss losing love for The Cosby Show, representation in Australian comedy and TV, and how to call people out (even when they cry). Candy Bowers is an international award-winning playwright, actor and comedian. A NIDA graduate, Candy has worked across the main-stages at Melbourne Theatre Company, Queensland Theatre Company and Circus Oz. As the Co-Artistic Director of Black Honey Company, Candy makes work that delves into the heart of radical black feminist dreaming and cuts and tickles in equal measure. This year you can catch her on the small screen in Newton’s Law and The Ex PM.

Matt Steele from Little Village speaks with the band Las Cafeteras about their music and activism. Then Micah and Chuy break down the last two weeks of Hancher programming, including powerful residencies with Circus Oz and Las Cafeteras. As per usual, it's been a busy couple of weeks at the Hanch, but we wouldn't have it any other way!

Mitch hasn't really done much this month except for picking up his new Xbox One, so we discuss his initial reactions to the console and the set-up itself, then we jump into some new TV with the HBO re-boot of "Westworld", Netflix original Marvel Universe series "Luke Cage", blood and gore with "American Horror Story - Roanoke" and animation and real world crossovers in "Son of Zorn". Joe then takes the helm with movies to discuss "Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children", the kids films "Zootopia" & "Astro Boy" and ambivalence of re-watching "Star Wars - The Force Awakens", while Mitch only managed to see the surfing penguins from "Surf's Up." We even squeeze in a little cultural diversity with Joe checking out Circus Oz at the Darebin Arts Centre over the school holidays too.

Tom Davis - Circus genius on relying on others as the foundation of his art, finding inspiration in tragedy, and the history of Australian circus "Circus people will not be famous. People will know the name Leotard, not for the fact that he did the first triple on a trapeze, but because he was principle in inventing the leotard." One sign of a true artist is that their character truly shines through in their work. Tom Davis performs circus with real talent and charm, in all sorts of ways*; most notably during a recent international tour with one of Australia's most prestigious circus troupes, Circus Oz. He's also an impresario, running his own troupe as Long Answers to Simple Questions. Their show Left, winner of the 2013 Gasworks Circus Showdown, opened our eyes to the thematic depth that can be brought to what Davis calls "a populist, low art medium like circus". In this show we discuss working through grief, choosing an independent career over the mainstream, and why one of Australia's greatest celebrities didn't even get an obituary on her home soil. You can download the podcast at the bottom of this post, or on iTunes, just search for Wait Long By The River Podcast. Check us out on Facebook or Twitter, and if you're in Melbourne, come check out our live shows, first Wednesday of every month at Some Velvet Morning.  *His bio reads: "Deft in pass juggling, tumbling, and many manipulation and equilibristics skills, Tom can also base for banquine, pitching, push for teeterboard and knows basic adagio up to basing hand to hand." Deft is a real understatement when it comes to his juggling - he's a world quality performer in that specialty, having performed with some of the world's most respected jugglers from Europe and America.
