  • Summary

  • Thomas Lambell and Sarah Kwong have a lot in common; they were both born in February 1988 and raised as only children of single mothers. Actually, that’s where the similarities end. Tom grew up on a cattle farm in rural Queensland, learned to be a DJ when he was 16, and is a passionate Formula 1 fan. Sarah grew up in suburban Adelaide, attended musical theatre classes as a kid, and now works as a high school English teacher. Their taste in movies, music and books could not be more different. In this podcast, these two friends take it in turns to share something they love that the other one has never experienced, and take the opportunity to talk about art, creativity, and how those things have shaped them.

    ESPN's Top 100 Athletes of the 21st Century
    Sep 1 2024

    We're back! Join us, Sarah and Thomas, as we go through ESPN's recent published list of their Top 100 Athletes of the 21st Century. We have some thoughts, including about how many baseball players appear on this list, the upcoming Formula 1 film, and debate whether motorsport is more difficult than riding horses.

    This episode was originally recorded as a live stream, so you may occasionally hear us interacting with the chat.

    It's been a while, hasn't it? Just dropping in to say we're still around and still on board with the podcast. Sadly, real life has been happening and so recording has been tricky. You will hear from us again soon, and we'll keep you posted on our socials.

  • The Whitlams

    The Whitlams
    Nov 1 2022

    Named after one of Australia's most progressive Prime Ministers, The Whitlams are a band Thomas had definitely heard, but never fully paid attention to. Sarah was the same until she was invited to see them live about five years ago. In this episode, we talk about how Tim Freedman manages to be celebrated yet still underrated, the insidiousness of gambling in our culture, and run into our old nemesis, Powderfinger.
