Brisbados

I sat down with Esther Field, Brisbane BUS driver for 18 years! Brisbane buses and their drivers hold a special place in the heart of Brisbane locals - we had a heartfelt chat about what our bus drivers wish people did more of (and less of!), fares, routes, meal rooms and even lost property processes. Enjoy!

In this episode I sit down with my old friend, Ben Sung. A lifelong Sunnybank (well, Robertson) resident, Ben shares insights into growing up in Sunnybank as an Asian Australian person, his pet peeves (mow your lawns and tend to your gardens!) and the auspiciousness around the suburb and why so many have flocked there.  

I can't believe it either. This episode I sit down with Aussie TV and radio legend, Matt O'Kine, as we discuss the experience of returning to Brisbane in late stage covid, and an honest analysis of what the city needs to achieve its potential. I invite you to listen to this one with curiosity and an open mind. Thanks folks!

Welcome back to Brisbados, the show where we explore the stories, streets, and soul of Brisbane in sunny Queensland :) In this episode, we’re heading to one of the city’s most storied and spirited suburbs: West End.

This is our first episode! Come along as I contextualise Brisbane against its older sisters, Sydney (glam) and Melbourne (cool). 

Under 90 secs on what Brisbados is about and why were here - going from a simple small town to becoming *itself*, beyond the glitz and glam that southerners have brought us. More to come!
