Don't get me started

Send us Fan Mail KEITH AND LEE'S PODCAST YEAR - ... Keith and Lee are not quite sure why they started up a podcast. Most likely because it sounded like a good idea at the time. Which of course it most certainly was. They only felt some assurance that it would be fun, which it most definitely has been. The only real certainly was the name they started with - "Sticking it In" with the...

Send us Fan Mail IS IT POSSIBLE TO AGE BUT NOT MATURE? - At times, Keith and Lee tend to think of themselves as reasonably informed amateurs. That is to say they'll have an opinion on just about any topic even though they're not experts, let alone qualified. Which is not always the best position to take is it? But that certainly doesn't stop them. Sometimes though it does get intere...

Send us Fan Mail OUR FIRST IN-STUDIO GUEST - ROSS ... This podcast of Dont Get Me Started was totally derailed by the unexpected studio guest who sought out Keith and Lee specifically to meet them in their home town. Usually the two guys like to discuss, in their own way as two reasonably informed amateurs, a specific issue, idea or thought. But not this time. The guest, Ross, (one of the first li...

Send us Fan Mail ADDICTIONS -  ... Do we all have addictions? What is an addiction? Are some addictions mild and others extreme? What if you do have an extreme addiction, can one still function effectively? Are all addictions bad, or can some be good? Why do we rely on addictions? And why do movies and TV shows often romanticise the addictions of "interesting" characters - such as Patric...

Send us Fan Mail KEITH'S BOOKS ... Last episode Keith and Lee interviewed a successful first-time author, Peta March. In contrast to Peta's experience Keith's writing experience has been quite chequered, to say the least. With one novel (never published), a novella (never published), an edition of short stories (co-authored and heard on Keith's other podcast "Surf Town&quo...

Send us Fan Mail KEITH AND PETA'S BOOKS ... Children's author Peta D March joins Keith and Lee as their first guest on Dont Get Me Started. Lee knew that Keith had written a few books and wanted to know a little more. Probably as an opportunity to poke him a little! Cheeky bugger that he is. Keith related that he is a self-published author with mixed success. Some books have sold well on...

Send us Fan Mail Graham Eddy   It's not every day you get to sit and talk with a man who makes his living from betting. However, as hosts of the Noosa Now podcast we had the thrill of doing just that. But hey, that's Noosa isn't it? It's a town full of interesting people, particularly one who is on top of their game. Our guest today on Noosa Now is someone who fits that descrip...

Send us Fan Mail IS BLOOD REALLY THICKER THAN WATER? It's quite common to quote that "blood is thicker than water" with the inference that family is where our first priority lies. There is however an expansion on that quote that is not so well-known. Which is, "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." And this version has the reverse inference, bei...

Send us Fan Mail JUST A FRIENDLY DISCUSSION ABOUT ... With no particular topic to discuss Keith and Lee launch into a chat about some recent events here in Queensland and in New South Wales.

Send us Fan Mail KING CHARLES 111 AND THE REPUBLIC A considerable and quite surprising controversy has blown up around the coming October visit of King Charles the Third to Australia. His first as King. Whilst Charles is king of England, he is also king of Australia (yes, king of Australia and all its states and territories, which might surprise some) the controversy has once again ignited the dis...

Send us Fan Mail NOOSA NOW  A high-rise, six-storey building for Noosa Junction - really? Yes, really - and it's very close to becoming a reality!

Send us Fan Mail       HUMOUR AND LAUGHTER.      Things get a little crazy on this episode. Not being content to merely talk about humour, the boys indulge with a few jokes along the way - actually quite a few. Typical of their indomitable style, Keith and Lee attempt to mix up their laughs with some serious moments - after all they were supposed to be talking about humour. However it didn't...

Send us Fan Mail TO RECORD OR NOT? Keith couldn't come into the studio to record this week's episode of Dont Get Me Started due to a heavy chest and throat infection.

Send us Fan Mail MARRIAGE, IS IT STILL RELEVANT - OR NOT? For many, marriage is the ultimate public declaration that they are no longer available for dating or "playing the field." It's a binding commitment. Some people though feel that a committed relationship doesn't have to be so formal and often say that marriage is just a piece of paper. Marriage is of course much more tha...

Send us Fan Mail DOES LIFE HAVE TO HAVE A PURPOSE - YES OR NO? Although humans can be seen as part of the animal kingdom, there is something that intrinsically separates us from the non-human species. Just what that is might be hard to define, leaving it open to all variations of opinions and views. One thing that does appear to be particular to humans is their sense of ethics, morals and what mig...

Send us Fan Mail TIME AWAY FROM YOUR PARTNER - OR NOT? A line in the great music group Chicago's hit, "Hard To Say Sorry" reads: 'Everybody needs a little time away, I heard her say, from each other ... even lovers need a holiday, far away, from each other.' But do they? Is such a move selfish, a neglect of commitment or a liberation and much-needed me-time to refuel the t...
