Since landing in London on March 20 I’ve really been on quite the journey with Delta - seeing her in Norway the day after I moved to London, catching up with her the next week on my lunch break at work in Soho, seeing her perform in Amsterdam for a Eurovision preview party, seeing her Camden pop up show where we got a cute pic with Tim Tams, the Turquoise Carpet for Eurovision’s Opening Ceremony,...

Hello beautiful friends! Welcome to episode 47 of the bradtpop podcast. I hope you enjoyed your break and are feeling refreshed! Usually the first episode of the year is a bucket list of items I want to achieve but I’m not doing that for 2026. Whilst I was glad to learn a new skill of DJing and get fitter by playing rugby with the Convicts last year - I still need to learn how to cook dammit and I...

Andrew and I start this episode acknowledging the sensless violence at Bondi Beach last weekend.

Last episode I did an artist spotlight on Missy Higgins and today I am following up with another incredible Aussie singer Keith Urban!  Unlike last episode - I am not going to do a deep dive into every single from every album cycle as he has just released his 12th studio album High so that would take far too long - but I will go high level into his early life and career and spotlight many of his h...

Today I am going to do my first ever artist spotlight on one of my favourite Australian singer-songwriters Missy Higgins!
