Podcasts about Triple J

Dan Rankine (aka 'trials') was the only little Aboriginal boy living in his rural Welsh village when he woke up shaking from a nightmare. That's when he and his mother knew they needed to go home to Adelaide.Dan is now one of Australia's most respected hip hop producers, writers and rappers.Born in Adelaide, Dan spent his early years on the other side of the world - in the rolling, green hills of rural Wales - with his mum, who had fled there from Dan's violent father in the middle of the night.Far from his Ngarrindjeri connections, and with no one around who looked like him, Dan felt isolated.After an unexplained nightmare, he and his mum decided to move back to Adelaide, where things didn't suddenly become perfect.But a car crash, which could have been tragic, became an incredible turning point in Dan's life, allowing him to buy his first set of turntables.And at 16 years old, Dad set himself on the path to becoming 'trials', performing, writing and producing with and for artists like the Funkoars, Hilltop Hoods, Archie Roach and A.B. Original.Dan has recently stepped out on his own, to release his debut solo album Hendle - something of an origin story, full of honesty, pain and passion.Hendle is out now. Dan is set to publish an accompanying memoir later this year.Keep up to date with Dan's music, art and tour dates at on his Instagram page.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

This week we were beyond thrilled to be joined by one of Australia's greatest comedians Wil Anderson. Wil is a genuine heavyweight of Australian media. From his early days on Triple J breakfast to sold-out stand-up tours around the world, and hosting TV staples like Gruen and Question Everything, to his long-running podcast series,' Wil has done it all!  But beyond the resume, what makes Wil so great is how effortlessly funny and how much of a genuine thinker he is. In this episode, we dive into everything - from the craft of stand-up and how comedy has evolved over the years, to the balance between being funny and saying something that actually matters. Wil gives us a proper look behind the curtain of Gruen, his journey through radio, podcasting, and TV as well as discussing some of the philosophies he has on life himself. Wil has been someone we have looked up to for over 20 years now, he was a genuine bucket list guest and it truly was the greatest pleasure to spend some time with him. Send us Fan Mail Hey Guys! If you're enjoying the show - the best way to show your support would be to send this episode to a friend!

Interview by Ali WilliamsSpiderbait stands as one of Australia's most enduring alternative rock bands. Formed in 1989 in the small town of Finley, New South Wales, the trio comprises Janet English on bass and vocals, Whitt (Damian Whitty) on guitar, andKram (Mark Maher) on drums and vocals. The childhood friends began playing in a local tractor shed, forging a unique, high-energy sound that blended punk rock, thrash metal, and catchy pop sensibilities. Their tight-knit personal bond and minimal three-piece lineup became the foundation for a career spanning more than three decades.The band rose to national prominence through Australia's independent touring circuit and constant support from youth radio station Triple J. They achieved a historic milestone in 1996 when their frantic track Buy Me a Pony became the first Australian song to top the Triple J Hottest 100. This success catapulted their third studio album, Ivy & the Big Apples, into multi-platinum status. The album showcased their versatility, juxtaposing heavy guitar riffs with sweet, melodic vocals, exemplified by the chart-topping, acoustic-driven single Calypso.Spiderbait solidified their global and commercial legacy in 2004 with a blistering, hard-rock cover of the traditional folk song Black Betty. The track reached number one on the ARIA Singles Chart and gained massive international exposure through video games, television, and film soundtracks. Known for their explosive live performances, the band transitioned seamlessly from sweaty pub rock venues to headlining major festivals like the Big Day Out.Decades after their formation, Spiderbait remains highly relevant to the Australian music landscape. The group continues to tour to sold-out crowds, celebrating milestone anniversaries of their classic albums and introducing their raw, energetic catalog to new generations of fans. Their longevity, commercial triumphs, and fiercely independent spirit have earned them a permanent place among the legends of Australian rock music history.HEAVY'sAli Williams sat down for a nostalgic chat with Kram ahead of Spiderbait'sIvy & the Big Apples 30th anniversary tour.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Ali WilliamsSome bands age quietly into legacy status, then there is The Living End, who appear to have treated the passing of time as a personal dare.After decades of twisting punk, rockabilly, sharp-suited swagger and full-throttle Australian rock into something entirely their own, the band are now being welcomed into the ARIA Hall of Fame. For bass player Scott Owen, speaking with HEAVY Magazine's Ali Williams, the honour is still landing somewhere between pride, disbelief and that very Australian instinct to not make too much of the emotional bit in case someone notices.He admits the induction has made the band stop and reflect, which is no small task when you are part of a group that has spent most of its life moving at the speed of a getaway car with a double bass in the back seat. The Living End's first EP arrived in the mid-'90s, the first record followed in 1998, and Scott and Chris Cheney had already been playing together since around 1990. The mathematics, as Scott cheerfully points out, are “confronting”. Fair. Nobody asked time to come in here with a calculator and start being rude.But that long history is exactly why The Living End still matter. They were never neatly slotted into the machinery around them. In the '90s, when Triple J was a very different beast and Australian alternative music had its own wild ecosystem, The Living End were not simply alternative. They were, in Scott's words, “the alternative to the alternative” - a strange, sharp, highly flammable hybrid of rockabilly and punk that did not fit anywhere and therefore carved out its own corner by force.That identity has not softened. It has become the band's signature. Scott's double bass remains one of Australian rock's great visual and sonic weapons. It is not just an instrument in The Living End; it is part of the architecture. Alongside Chris Cheney's famously elastic guitar work and the locked-in chemistry that only comes from surviving decades of stages, buses, hotels, rehearsals, chaos and suspiciously romantic dinners together, the band still carry a sense of occasion every time they step up. Scott jokes that he and Chris have probably had more romantic dinners together than any couple in the world. Somewhere, a relationship counsellor just threw away their notebook.That chemistry also includes Andy Strachan, affectionately referred to by Scott as “the new guy”, despite having been in the band for around 20 years. Rock and roll timelines are ridiculous. A man can spend two decades behind the kit and still be treated like he has just wandered in with fresh ID and a lunchbox.Swinging back to one of the year's great live surprises: Jimmy Barnes joining The Living End onstage at the Hotel Brunswick. Scott says it was a hard secret to keep after finding out that morning, because the whole point was to blow everyone's minds without warning. Mission accomplished. When Barnesy appears unannounced at a pub gig, that is not a cameo. That is a national incident with vocals.For Ali, who had been in work mode in the media pit before realising she was casually talking to Jimmy Barnes himself, the moment became one of those live music memories that gets filed under: “This is why we leave the house.” It also reinforced something that runs right through the interview: the irreplaceable magic of real bodies, real instruments, sweaty venues and the shared lunacy of a crowd being lifted by noise.That idea sits at the heart of The Living End's current chapter. Their upcoming run carries the spirit of I Only Trust Rock N Roll, a sentiment Scott says came from the same place many of the new songs did: the strange, rattled, post-2020 world where everything suddenly felt unstable and everyone started wondering what, if anything, could still be trusted.For Scott, the answer is simple. Rock and roll still feels real. Still, for all the shifts around them, The Living End's purpose remains gloriously direct. They like to put on a show. They like leaving people wondering what the hell just happened. They like blowing the roof off the joint, whether that joint is a festival stage, a regional venue, or the kind of pub where the walls know more secrets than the patrons.Their latest album bares the same namesake as their upcoming tour - I Only Trust Rock N Roll. The album is available now on all platforms and for tickets and tour information head to www.thelivingend.com.auBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Beloved friend of The Betoota Advocate, Concetta Caristo is an Australian radio presenter, comedian, and most recently a CELEBRITY. She joins Betoota Talks to discuss her whirlwind journey into becoming a household name. She's leaving Triple J and (The Betoota Advocate has decided) she's going to be an actor on Anne Edmonds and Kitty Flanagan's new TV series. She's also a very bad Italian because she's never been to Italy before... But that's about the changeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We defended DJ Got Us Falling In Love's honour after a band called it absolute garbage on Triple J. We spun the wheel and played Tim's Top 5. A reporter at the Sydney Fish Market got bitten by a crab on live TV and immediately had it cooked, which is the most justified act of revenge we have ever seen. Glenn Robbins came in ahead of tonight's Celebrity Intervention premiere on Channel 7 and revealed he once watched Tim get destroyed by waves at Bells Beach. Tim and Justin Bieber have one very specific thing in common: YouTube Premium. Justin Bieber showed up at Coachella in today's Glossys. Ricki nearly choked to death on a piece of steak which is especially concerning given Neil Perry just taught us how to cook one properly. And Joel Creasey came in to celebrate the launch of his brand new radio show, which we are fully behind.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Melbourne band called Radio Free Alice went on Triple J's Like A Version, called Usher's DJ Got Us Falling In Love an ugly duckling and a piece of absolute garbage, covered it, then deleted the video when the internet turned on them. They have since apologised. Ricki nearly threw her phone off the balcony. The song has sold hundreds of millions of records and does not need their help. Case closed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stu Watts chats with Sophie Edwards. The past few years for Sophie have been a whirlwind of music and creativity. After being the first Australian to study a Masters of Songwriting and Production at the Berklee College of Music in New York City, Sophie returned back to Australia to begin an unstoppable trajectory in her home country. Her first release post-homecoming “4kInMyBrain” received airplay on Triple J and across the independent radio network, and her follow up single “4 Walls and A Telephone” secured her a performance at Spilt Milk as the Triple J Unearthed winner. She has also performed at BIGSOUND, Stonefest, and Groovin The Moo.Sophie represented Australia as a songwriter and producer at the Martin Garrix Academy, travelling to Amsterdam thanks to sponsorship by JBL Audio. She was chosen to be a producer at APRA AMCOS SongHubs Looped, and in 2025, was invited to perform at Spilt Milk as a local artist. Sophie loves working with emerging Australian artists, and bringing her sonic signature and fun energy to writing rooms across the globe. She is a nominee for “Breakthrough Producer of the Year” at the MPEG Awards for 2026. As a producer and a co-writer, Sophie has worked with artists such as Kimbra, Jerry Barnes (bassist for Nile Rodgers), Jared Benjamin, Lara Buchanan, and Jade Alice, and regularly collaborates on projects for brands such as JBL, APRA AMCOS, ANU, Casio, and Ableton.Sophie is currently hard at work on her debut self-produced album “Bouquet”, with releases slated throughout 2026.

Divine Comedy is now out! Blurb below: World Tour. Sold-out Enmore Theatre. Dream wedding on the horizon. 2025 was set to be the best year of Anthony's life - then everything fell apart. With his heart in ruins, desperation (and destiny) pushed him into a Vipassana meditation retreat. The Divine Comedy is the story of ten gruelling days of silence, where Anthony journeyed to the depth of his mind and battled the hive of evil clowns behind his lifelong misery, and somehow returned with his soul intact. We chat about acting, 10 day silent retreats, radical honesty and accountability, love of musicals, integrity, pain, misery, honesty and suffering, acceptance, big mindset and mental shifts, love of musicals  + more!

After being crowned Jungle Queen and winning $100,000 for charity, Concetta chose to donate the prize to Full Stop Australia, the organisation that helped her family escape domestic violence when she was growing up. As a child, Concetta lived in a home where violence and fear were constant. Eventually, her mother made a secret call to a domestic violence hotline and began planning what the family would later describe as their escape. Concetta, her mother and her sister left their home, fled across the country and started again under new names. In this conversation with Kate Langbroek, Concetta speaks openly about the childhood she kept secret for years, the moment everything changed for her family, and the complicated journey of rebuilding a life after violence. She also reflects on the strange path that led her to comedy, the inner critic that still lives in her head, and the joy she has found in finally being able to live freely. If this conversation raises anything for you, support is available. Full Stop Australia runs a 24-hour confidential helpline for people affected by sexual, domestic and family violence.

Is alcohol confidence, connection, and a doorway back to yourself, or is it a liquid barrier that keeps you further away?In this episode, Vic is joined by Australian broadcaster and former Triple J presenter Mel Bampton. Now 15 years sober, Mel has come full circle back to radio after spending years rebuilding her life around yoga, surfing and sobriety. Together, they explore one powerful question: how do we make our way back after losing ourselves to alcohol?Mel explains how alcohol can feel like a shortcut back to playfulness, imagination, and that light, giggly version of us we lost somewhere between school rules, expectations, and being told to “behave”. They talk about how drinking can seem like it's giving you freedom, when it's quietly taking pieces of you away, and why it can be so hard to notice that loss of self when you start young.They also dig into timing, the moment you know it's time to stop, the shift from chaos to clarity, and the surprising truth that sobriety can be less about becoming someone new, and more about returning to who you were before life made you small.There's tequila, hangovers, bins full of glass bottles, silent discos in the jungle, and a full-circle comeback story that proves this, even if you've taken the scenic route, you can always find your way back to you.Enjoy!@melbampton_https://www.thepranaproject.com/blog/whats-in-a-name

O programa que foi ao ar ao vivo em rede nacional pela rádio SBS 2 da Austrália. As notícias do dia. Conheça a australiana filha de brasileiros Claire Naschenweng, que iniciou sua carreira musical sob o nome artístico de CNasch. Claire, que acaba de completar 18 anos, teve uma de suas músicas selecionada no Unearthed High de 2025, competição da rádio Triple J, e acaba de lançar novo single. De Lisboa, nosso correspondente Francisco Sena Santos contextualiza a acusação de racismo feita pelo brasileiro Vinícius Junior contra o jogador do Benfica Gianluca Prestianni, que foi suspenso pela Uefa para a partida da volta nesta quinta-feira.

Claire Naschenweng ficou em primeiro lugar no Higher School Certificate (HSC) de NSW na categoria Entretenimento Musical. Sob o nome artístico CNasch, teve uma de suas músicas selecionada no Unearthed High de 2025, da rádio Triple J, e está lançando novo single. Nesta conversa com a SBS em Português, a cantora brasileira-australiana afirma estudar para conhecer todo o processo de produção musical, e conta como junta a Bossa Nova à música pop atual para emplacar sua carreira.

In this episode, a conversation with Alister Newstead, a music journalist, reporter and music editor with Triple J and Double J, and author of a new book in the 33 1/3 series on Tame Impala's landmark album, Currents. The album is emblematic of a cultural shift in music production and consumption in the early days of streaming and a project that cemented its creator, Kevin Parker, as one of Australian music's most unlikely success stories and influential exports. This book dives deep into Currents, examining its context, creation, content and lasting impact on the history of Australian popular music. The album's theme of metamorphosis and genre-blurring sound embodied (and possibly encouraged) a wider shift in the 2010s of popular music trends, consumption and listening habits.

Over the past 13 years, Mel has also written 5 books about business and money including the global bestseller, Unf*ck Your Finances, and her latest book (released Feb 2026), Dare to be Wealthy.   So, she has the theory. But Mel also has the life experience. She grew up in the Western Suburbs of Sydney in a violent, often inconsistent household and came back from less than nothing in her early thirties, after giving all of her money to charity (a move she instantly regretted). Despite these starts, set-backs and mistakes – she is now a multi-millionaire gaining financial independence from the strategies she put in place for herself. Mel genuinely believes, as a result of her own story and working with tens of thousands of women and families, that understanding how to build wealth shouldn't be abdicated or just for the select few who can afford it – but is something that everyone can achieve. Mel is regularly asked to comment on money and finances making regular TV and radio appearances including Triple J's The Hack, the Today Show, Weekend Sunrise, Weekend Today, Sky Business and The Daily Edition. She has also been featured in or written articles for a variety of places including CEO Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Who, Vogue, Yahoo Finance and had a fortnightly column in the Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne's Age for 7 years.

It's been a year of engagements and tying the knot for some of the biggest pop stars in the world, like Charli XCX, Lana Del Ray, Dua Lipa and Taylor Swift.

We hear how you feel about marriage, and whether it's something you still wanna do.

In this episode with special cohost Jordan Barr, we work out the telltale the signs of a roomie phase, unpack the reasons why it happens and debate whether we should be reframing our expectations of long term relationships.

In this episode with special cohost Blake Pavey, we're unpacking how height is affecting your love life, where this tall tale of height superiority is coming from and whether it's as big a dealbreaker as society would like us to think.

A blue-tinted photo above the bar at the Gov. A midnight residency that turned into decades of collaborations. Charlie Owen joins us for a warm, unscripted tour through the songs, friendships, and stages that shaped his life in Australian music.We trade the mythology for the moments: meeting Don Walker in the small hours, saying yes to Tex Perkins for Triple J's Unplugged, and learning how a Working Class Ringos ballad could hush an arena full of Chisel fans. Charlie opens up about his long run with the Divinyls and the bond with Chrissy Amphlett, the quiet pride of being named among Australia's best guitarists, and the surprise of discovering that Midnight Rain with Lewis Tillett topped Rolling Stone critics' list years after the fact. The thread is always the same—collaboration, taste, and putting the song first.We get into the set he's bringing to South Australia: a solo, guitar-forward celebration with dobro, electric, acoustic, and a light touch of keys—no loops, no samplers. He explains why he sings now, how certain tracks like Spencer P. Jones's The New Day of the Dead feel eerily current, and why some songs are too heavy to carry on stage.

Triple J, the kings of alternative and underground radio since 1975 just held their public vote for Australia's greatest 100 songs of all time with some 2.65 million people voting. That's nearly 10% of the entire Australian population!!! It's with pride, joy, exultation and somewhat genuine surprise, that INXS' 1987 classic “Never Tear Us Apart” came in at number one despite stiff opposition from iconic acts such as AC/DC, Midnight Oil, Crowded House, Nick Cave and Gotye. Originally, darlings of the early Triple J movement back in 1982, INXS were later promoted heavily by more commercial FM radio stations like Triple and Fox FM particularly as their career soared globally in chart, touring and record sales were concerned. As such, INXS were often overlooked in previous polls which particularly in 1992 with their incredible Welcome to Wherever you Are, a sticking point for ardent fans. This poll win soothes the hearts of many. With Need you Tonight and Don't Change featuring as well, INXS' inclusion is a true victory for what Triple J's mission statement espouses, namely “the world's greatest music democracy”!! So we peel back how this awesome result came to fruition, tackle the time honoured debate and battles of Indie music vs the mainstream and most importantly why Never Year Us Apart as a song has grown in stature over the last 37 years!!! On Sunday 10th August at 8 pm we will also be doing our first "Watch Party" via facebook. Gathering the global INXS fans, to watch INXS's Live Baby Live being played with new commentry, on Australia's Channel & and Channel & Plus.

As the new spokesperson for Astronomer, Gwynnie's made waves with a new ad, as well as a surprising body part of hers that's got some recent recognition.

And, Australia was arguing this weekend about what is actually the hottest Australian song of all time.

Combat-wounded Staff Sergeant (Ret.) Johnny “Joey” Jones turned a traumatic, life-changing disability into a personal mission to improve the lives of all veterans. Known to his friends as “Triple J,” Jones was raised in Dalton, GA and enlisted in the Marine Corps after high school. During his eight years of service, he worked as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (bomb) Technician, deploying to both Iraq and Afghanistan on separate tours. During his last deployment to Afghanistan, Jones was responsible for disarming and destroying 80+ improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and thousands of pounds of other unknown bulk explosives. During that tour on August 6, 2010, he stepped on and initiated an IED, resulting in the loss of both of his legs above the knee and severe damage to his right forearm and both wrists. He recovered at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington D.C. Focusing on overcoming adversity, finding a positive perspective in dire situations, leaning on those around you, and finding strength in yourself and your community, Joey now serves at the Chief Spokesperson for Zac Brown's Southern Ground and Military director and spokesperson for Camp Southern Ground. Joey regularly appears as an outspoken, yet insightful military analyst for Fox News. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
