Australian musical comedy trio
POPULARITY
If you're an avid podcast listener, you've likely heard one of Richard Fidler's Conversations. For 20 years he's been chatting with people from all walks of life, making the Conversations podcast one of the most popular in Australia. So as they mark this big 20th birthday, I thought it'd be fun to flip the mic on Richard. Because his story begins long ago, as a founding member of the Doug Anthony Allstars, and host of Race Around the World. In 2016 Richard published his first non fiction book Ghost Empire, and since then has written three more (Saga Land, Golden Maze, and The Book of Roads and Kingdoms).He is a curious soul, a master storyteller, and you're about to relish in his tales.T.

They were terrible.We also talk about the late Barry Humphries (no relation to Mark, he claims), Elon Musk and Twitter and SpaceX, so-called "firming strategies", the Doug Anthony All Stars, Doug Anthony, Alan Seale, car parking considered as a superpower, Kyle Sandilands, Gerard Henderson (briefly), how many ducks you'd need to form a herd, and Farmer's Union Iced Coffee.Full podcast details and credits at:https://the9pmedict.com/edict/00197/Please support this podcast by throwing a few dollars into the tip jar at:https://the9pmedict.com/tip/https://skank.com.au/subscribe/Another Public House Forum episode is scheduled for 27 May 2023.

Tim Ferguson needs no introduction. He's been a mainstay in Aussie comedy since he first appeared with the Doug Anthony All Stars on The Big Gig. Now, he's back on stage to smash your preconceptions about disability (and why it actually rules!). You can catch Tim Ferguson's Fringe show Disability Rules! on 10th, 11th & 12th March at The Boboli at The Garden of Unearthly Delights. Grab your tickets here. And Tim's on Twitter @realtimferguson and Instagram @therealtimfergusonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Paul McDermott makes a mean cup of tea. But you probably know him better as a member of the Doug Anthony All Stars and the former host of Good News Week. This week, he catches up with Mia to talk about growing from a demon-free twin into an instrument-eschewing artist with a pretty voice; falling into Adelaide Fringe Award-winning DAAS through a chance encounter outside a food truck; being ocularly impaled on a Silverchair drumstick during a live television broadcast; and the many other sides of his increasingly public visual and sonic creativity. He also delivers a very special live performance of "Canberra (In the 70s)" from his new EP, 'I've Seen The Future And You're Not In It', accompanied by Glenn Moorhouse. This episode was produced by Tash Noore. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#20 The Boy Who Cried Batman - The King has returned and he's at the spooky New Theatre Grand Hall where the Masons get up to all sorts of mysterious time-travelling. And Richard is very excited to be welcoming comedy legends The Doug Anthony All Stars, Paul, Tim and Paul. There's lots of chat about the Edinburgh Fringe of the eighties, the point where comedy and tragedy meet, what happens when you become the carer for your comedy partner, what happens if you never wash your clothes, the Doug who became a diplomat, how Jerry Sadowitz terrorised the public, and curing rectal cancer. Sorry the first minute or so got lost, but I have attempted to recreate it (and it was nothing of any worth). Plus there's a beautiful song at the end which is going to leave you wondering why the audience is laughing, but suffice to say what was happening was very funny indeed.SUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITESee details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATESBuy DVDs and Books from GO FASTER STRIPE See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Comedy legend Tim Ferguson looks back at the Doug Anthony Allstars' 1990 album ICON and chats about working with Hunter S. Thompson, appearing in Batman movies, playing the euphonium and being banned in the UK. Tim and I go track by track through the album and discuss all things Allstars. Apologies that the sound quality is lower than usual, the episode includes an out-of-the-studio Skype call.
Are you ready for another action packed week, full of surprise and adventure? I hope you are 'cause that what I've got for you. I had a fantastic chat with author Georgia Clark about her love for Aussie musical comedy group Doug Anthony All Stars, silent film star Clara Bow and the Buffy The Vampire Slayer TV show. Didn't someone talk about that already? Yes! I talk a bit at the top of the show about why I think it's important to hear about artworks from multiple perspectives. Sounds extremely interesting, doesn't it? Well... IT IS!! Links: Georgia Clark Doug Anthony Allstars Buffy The Vampire Slayer Hustlers The Sound Inside

Richard Fidler, the “nice guy”, the “quiet one” or “the guy with the guitar” in the Doug Anthony All Stars. Faultlessly polite, his memories of DAAS Kapital differ somewhat from Tim & Paul’s.
