I used to write a list of my favourite theatre every year and then 2020/21 happened!

Here's a list of my favourite theatre of 2022 with some shout outs to the memorable theatre I was able to see in 2020/21.

My Favourite Theatre of 2022 (and 2020/21)

In 2020 and 2021, I relished any and all theatre I got to see because shows were so few and far between. I think I only saw ten shows in t...

“You can find us anywhere you get your podcasts.”

I *adore* this phrase, because it has been like two whole-ass decades and not one single venture capital darling has managed to unseat plain RSS as the distribution method for podcasts. Not one. (And they have really tried!)

Podcasts are just out there, like air. You don’t go to one place to get them; you get them from everywhere and anywhere. You can choose how you want to engage with them and manage them and it is legitimately heartwarming that nothing has ever gotten in the way of that being a fundamental fact.

This is the best of what the web is. It will never have a stock ticker or even a marketing scheme. Most people don’t even know it is there. But it endures (past the many, many attempts by squillionaire corporates to kill it) because of its absolute unshakable utility.

My suggestion: any time you hear “anywhere you get your podcasts”, send a little thanks to RSS for keeping the real web alive.

Here's the article I wrote for The Guardian Australia earlier in the year about the systemic barriers that prevent working class artists from breaking into a career in the arts and contributing to the national cultural conversation.

Want to make art? You better be rich: how Australian culture locked out the working class

Wages are low, work insecure and funding has been gutted. Amid a cost-of-living crisis and a pandemic, are we about to lose a swathe of artists to obscurity?

Before your movie gets my hard earned ticket money, i have to ask: does it pass the Turing-Voight-Bechdel-Kampff test?

1. At least 2 robots are talking
2. About something other than killing-all-humans
3. At least one of them doesn’t know they are a robot
4. At least one of them doesn’t know all the others are robots

Oh, for a muse of firepower.That would rise to the brightest heaven of adaptation! Shakespeare Aliens is the classic feminist science-fiction film on stage, remounted as if it is a history play from William Shakespeare. A story of soldiers, war, dreams, nightmares, complex human machinations and ...
