No Adelaide Fringe Reviews Or Coverage in 2024 - Will Be Back Every Other Year From 2025
The Adelaide Show Podcast putting South Australian passion on centre stage

078 – South Aussies Cosi and Becky Blake

Cosi is on our show this week, the main behind Channel Nine’s South Aussie with Cosi – and he helps us discover the northern home of the Adelaide Fringe.

We learn a few things about South Australia along the way, including how little we locals get out and explore it.

Becky Blake, lead singer of Chunky Custard, and THE piano chick, has a new Fringe show, Sex And The 60s, and a new song and we discover both tonight. We figured sex worked well for us last week, hence another dose this week!

In the Made To Move Minute, Max Martin “Acid In The Brain – The Need For Sleep”. This will make you go to bed early.

George Inglis rants a little about Soundwave and megatrends, with a video he recommends, see below.
