Happiness!

Anyone who listens to Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! on Bondi Beach Radio and the iTunes podcast every week, will know that I am a massive fan and believer in chasing your dreams in the pursuit of happiness. 

This week I am excited to have award-winning Australian comedian, podcaster & writer, Tom Ballard on Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! to promote his 2017 stand-up show Tom Ballard – ‘Problematic’, LIVE at Giant Dwarf this Thursday 4th – Sunday 7th May as part of Sydney Comedy Festival.

Over the past 2 years since our last recording together, Tom’s stand-up comedy career has been on a sharp rise to the top, enjoying nominations for Best Show at both Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2016, his American television debut on Comedy Central’s Roast Battle at Montreal’s Just for Laughs Festival, his political podcast Like I’m A Six-Year-Old has just hit 100 episodes and continues to grow from strength to strength and at the end of 2016 he appeared in SBS’s ground-breaking series First Contact, a journey of discovery into Aboriginal Australia.

One of the joys that I have discovered that comes as a result of surrounding yourself with like-minded people also pursuing their own ambition and success, is that invariably you get to watch your friends rise to the challenge, share their journeys and celebrate your collective wins along the way.

Tom Ballard was certainly already well on his way to this success we first met 6 years ago, whilst launching triple j unearthed as a radio station back in 2011, but to then watch him have the courage to leave his role has co-host of the Tom & Alex morning show on triple j, take a leap of faith to achieve his dream of being a successful stand-up comedian and see where he’s at now just makes me so happy!

“Being your own master of your life and your passions, it’s a very powerful and important thing to do and if you have a chance to take it then grab it with both hands.” – Tom Ballard.

Never a truer word spoken, my man. Let’s get into the show!

I can’t believe that in just 2 weeks, the Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! podcast is going to hit 100 episodes and in fact in 2 weeks, from Friday 21st October to Sunday 30 October, Sydney Craft Beer Week, Sydney’s largest celebration of craft beer is back for its sixth year. Co-incidence?
 
I am a mad craft beer fan and so this week, I reached out to a friend of mine, Sydney Craft Beer Week General Manager Yvette Myhill, about having both her and Festival Director Joel Connolly join us as guests on the Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! podcast to chat about the impact that Sydney Craft Beer Week is having on the way Australians consider their beer choices and the 137 Sydney Craft Beer Week events happening at 80 different venues all around harbour town in October.
 
On today’s podcast we announce the Sydney Craft Beer Week App iTunes and Google Play launch, tease the Frankie’s + The Grifter Brew Co + Sydney Craft Beer Week collaboration to create the official #SCBW2016 beer, we discuss the amazing growth of Sydney’s craft beer scene over the past 5-10 years, the sense of community & culture it brings, Joel’s journey across the USA discovering the wonders of craft beer in America a few years back, our favourite IPAs and so much more.
 
Sydney Craft Beer Week 2016 kicks off on Friday October 21st with 2 x Gala Openings on both the Friday night and Saturday afternoon at Giant Dwarf Theatre in Redfern, featuring 19 brewers and a range of fantastic craft brewer creations that will be tried for the very first time!

Australian comedian, writer & musician, Andrew Hansen from The Chaser. One of the most hilarious, engaging & insightful podcasts that I’ve ever had the pleasure to be part of.
 
Set in Sydney’s Giant Dwarf Theatre, Andrew & I enjoy vast ranging chats, bond over our grandfathers who were in World War II, his grandfather actually landing into Hiroshima the day after the bomb dropped to demand the surrender of a local general, The Chaser’s War On Everything’s hilarious APEC stunt with George W Bush and “Osama Bin Laden” (in fact Chas Licciardello dressed up as Osama), Andrew Denton, Giant Dwarf and so much more.
 
Sitting here in Little Jack Horner cafe in Coogee Beach writing this article and editing the podcast as we speak, wearing a massive smile on my face. Such an amazing chat!  😃
 

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
