Fascinating episode of Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! this week as Tim Lo Surdo joins us to talk about social justice, “anti-rascism” and what inspired him to found Democracy in Colour. 

Los Angeles-based Australian actor and singer/songwriter Sam Clark joins us this week on Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! LIVE from LA!  Sam's first ever acting job was on Australian TV soap opera Neighbours, he’s had 2 x #1s on the ARIAs Physical Singles Chart and last year starred in Grease: Live, the USA television special broadcast by Fox that was a live, televised remake of the 1978 film Grease and this week Sam's launched a brand new single and music video called ‘Out Of Reach’ that we’re featuring on the show! Sam & I chat about working with Grammy award-winning songwriting partner Bill Grainer (Jennifer Hudson, Forever In Your Mind), our very first meeting for at a house party in the Hollywood Hills with Aussie actor Jacinta Stapleton, our shared love of hiking the canyons around greater Los Angeles and top tips/key lessons/advice for any Australian contemplating packing up their lives and making a go of it in LA. Are an Aussie actor or budding rockstar wanted to live a life in Los Angeles,

Exciting!   This life is all about what you make it and Los Angeles-based Australian Leah Martin-Brown, talent buyer at LA’s iconic live music venue Viper Room and lead singer of Evol Walks, has got this shit down in spades!   Having recently signed a new worldwide deal with Rick Sales and Adam Mott of Rick Sales Entertainment (Slayer, Mastodon, Ghost & more), Leah and Evol Walks have shared the staged with the likes of Dream Theater, Shaggy, Everclear, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and shitloads more over the past 2 years!   With new tunes now on the way, co-written with Jake Pitts (Black Veil Brides) and Dan and Travis from Atreyu, 2017 is set to be a very exciting year indeed for this Gold Coast native.   If you are an aspiring Australian musician or actor who harbours ambitions of making it to the big-time in the USA, then this week’s show is ALL about you!    In the wise words of Leah Martin-Brown: "Fear Is Bullshit. Don’t be a pussy.”  There is absolutely fuckin’ nothing stopping you from making a start t

Ever wanted to have the gumption to just say…”Fuck it! I am going to chase my dreams?”   No? Well, listen in, ‘cause me and Gaz Williams are living and breathing examples of how to pave that road to success with an tenacious, unwavering ambition fuelled by a desire tobe happy and love what you do in life.   The Partnerships Lead for General Assembly launched FuckUp Nights in Melbourne a year ago, a global movement founded in Mexico that has spread like wildfire from the likes of Istanbul to New York to Tel Aviv and now Australia, where start-up founders, small business owners, entrepreneurs and inspiring entrepreneurs meet-up to soak up the stories of failed businesses/projects by now successful businessmen and women.   And yes, FuckUp Nights is now coming to Sydney! Next week on Friday 9th of June, Gaz Williams and his crew are launching FuckUp Nights Sydney at the picturesque Circular Quay at the Overseas Passenger Terminal next to Sydney Harbour Bridge, right near Sydney Opera House and yes, you can be a p

From little things, big things grow…   Inspiring founder & owner of Northern Californian brewery, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co, is a man of passion, determination and innovation.    From humble roots, as a small West Coast craft brewery with a goal to produce 2,000 hectolitres of beer a year, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co is now a bi-coastal North American business that champions innovation, advanced energy technology & sustainability, business leadership and is now brewing 1.7 million hectolitres of beer a year from their West Coast and East Coast breweries.   After learning to brew from the father of a close friend at a young age, Ken Grossman opened a homebrew supply store in downtown Chico, called The Home Brew Shop in 1976, before selling it in 1978, founding Sierra Nevada Brewing Co in 1979 and releasing their first batch of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co beer in 1980, which was an American Stout.   At the time, there was no such thing as small-scale or “micro” brewery equipment in the USA and it was way too e

Meet Sam Blacker! One of the key things I talk about regularly on Hot Delicious: Rocks The Planet! is surrounding yourself with people who like yourself are pursuing their dreams as hard as you and for me Sam Black, Public Figure, radio host, sketch comedy artist & podcaster

I moved to Bondi Beach late last year after falling in love with the Sydney Eastern Suburbs beach lifestyle and I made a decision to stay. One of the attractions of Bondi Beach for me is not only that I now live 5 minutes walk from Bondi Beach, with spectacular coastal walks and lunchtime swims part of my regular routine, but I have become friends with and have access to a wealth of like-minded, ambitious, progressive and creative individuals that work and reside in this beautiful suburb of Sydney. So many in this local global beachside community possess a mentality that encompasses an understanding that 9-5 is a primitive way to exist and there is another way to achieve success, whilst living life to the fullest! (as we speak I am sitting here at the home office in my board shorts having started my working week at midday on a Monday). One of those inspiring peeps in my life is the human embodiment of the word ‘community’ and the creator/owner of Bondi Tony's Burger Joint, Tony Gosden. Hailing from a music in

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 ‘Problematic’ that’s LIVE at Giant Dwarf this Thursday - Sunday 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 g

  This show is a very special RECAST of our interview with Archie Rose Distilling Co founder, Will Edwards.   Founded in by Sydneysider Will Edwards, Archie Rose Distilling Co was inspired by both the distilling industry of Tasmania and the urban distilleries that call New York and London home.   In March 2015, Archie Rose Distilling Co. became the very first multi-spirit distillery in Sydney in over 160 years, with a mission to honour Sydney’s rich, spirit-making past by producing handcrafted, premium and unique spirits, including gin, vodka and whisky.    In today’s podcast we chat about leaving a job you hate to pursue your passions, what it takes, Luke’s fascinating journey of discovery from the urban distilleries of Brooklyn to farmer distillers in Tasmania, Archie Rose Distillery’s world firstTailored Spiritsrange, which allows customers to create their very own gin, vodka or whisky (including their name on the bottle) and the brand new Archie Rose Launches Distiller’s Strength Gin - launched last month

It’s 1am and I’m struggling for sleep, so I put the pen to page to release thoughts that have been burning a hole in my brain.. my journey to Turkey to experience ANZAC Day’s 85th anniversary on the Gelibolu (Gallipoli) Peninsula.   On April 23rd my flight touched down in the beautiful city of Istanbul and we hit the road in the station wagon that was to be our home for the next few days. After a brief encounter with a Turkish policeman (clip-on koalas are great for avoiding speeding fines ;)), we arrived in Eceabat on the Gallipoli Peninsula, parked our “hotel” on a grassy lot across the road from Vegemite Bar and immersed ourselves in the local culture… ah, I mean drank copious amounts of 500ml Efes beer cans with other Aussies/Kiwis who’d made the trek to Turkey for ANZAC Day.   The next morning with dusty heads we headed off to the nearby ANZAC Cove and surrounding battlegrounds to learn about Australia’s first foray into war as a country in it’s own right. For the uninitiated, during World War 1 Allied

I have blonde hair, a ginger beard, have lived a life and career of so many lifetimes… all focused on the pursuit of loving life and The Secret to Happiness… although I didn’t necessarily recognise it at the time.   After dropping out of university and a Swinburne University BASc Biochemistry degree through lack of passion and zero desire to be stuck in a laboratory in 10-15 years time, I have served drinks and cleaned ashtrays back of house at Melbourne’s Crown Casino, spent 6.5 years jet-setting the globe with the rock star’s lifestyle without being the rock star as an Emirates Airline flight attendant, set a life up for myself as music industry professional, driving operations & logistics for music festivals/events around Australia such as Splendour In The Grass, event production and festival photography for triple j, created a music supervisor role for Ballistyx Snowboard Show on Channel GO! managed rock & roll b

Ever wanted to Choose Your Own Adventure?   I don’t mean like in the books that you used to explore as a kid, I mean in life!   To turn the page and venture down a path without knowing what lies ahead, just because you think that it might get you to a place that you never even dreamed of.   Well, then welcome to my life… and the life of record producer & Bondi Beach Breakfast host on Bondi Beach Radio, Boston Rodriguez.   Life is to be enjoyed and from an early age, this fast-talking, energetic North London lad has built a life and career out of exploration.   Whether it be writing/presenting nationwide radio music documentaries whilst living in New Zealand, opening up the eyes and world of Kingston's youth whilst working as an art auctioneer in Jamaica or his London  journey from star music student to record producer, the life of Boston Rodriguez is one of Choose Your Own Adventure and it is truly my pleasure to bring that adventure to you!   Let’s get into it!   Connect with Boston Rodriguez (Bondi Beac

How good are you are marketing your own personal brand?    I don’t just mean posting photos on Instagram, writing LinkedIn articles and sending out the occasional Tweet. I mean, how are you collaborating with peers and friends in your existing and prospective networks to broaden the audience of your business, brand, blog, vlog or podcast?   One of my key goals for 2017, is to increase my volume of guest appearances on other content creators radio shows, podcasts, blogs and blogs.   I created the Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! radio show and podcast two years ago and while my extensive knowledge of digital brand marketing as a global award-winning senior social media strategist, working with a range of different brands and industries, holds me in good stead for marketing my own brand and making the strategic decision when I first started, to have the guests on Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! who are inspiring individuals and entrepreneurs across a range of industries, certainly means that the cr
