If you’ve ever been at a show by Cut Copy, Empire of the Sun, Jet, Wolfmother or Regurgitator to name but a few, JBR was probably out the front making them sound good and loud for your earholes.

Happy 1st Birthday to LWICFD!

Thats right, on this day last year (22/8/23) ep#1 dropped & now here we are, all grown up with 31 eps out there & 1 year old!

Whilst also being a day of celebration, it’s also a very bittersweet day for me as it also marks the 4yr anniversary of my dear Dad dying. However, rather than sit around & continue to get all depressed & upset at this same time each year, I decided to try & make this day a happier one for me which is why I dropped ep1 on this date, as kind of a tribute to my Dad & also to help me deal with it in my own way. My Dad was a great bloke, he loved music & food & he loved having dinner parties with my Mum & their mates.

Dad was also a Research Scientist & so after he died my Mum, brother & I decided to set up a scholarship in Dads name to assist a PhD student who is researching Glioblastomas (or GBM, which is the type of cancer my Dad had). This year the Tim Trigg Scholarship for Glioblastoma research was awarded for the first time & the person who it was awarded to is my guest on this VERY special episode of LWICFD! 💥

Her name is Jacinda Holtsmark, a PhD student at the University of Sydney where she is working hard to kick GBM in the arse. Jacinda also has an amazing story to tell (that also went viral) about her own journey with cancer & how she met her cancer surgeon (who had operated on her when she was just an infant) by chance during a uni zoom lecture in lockdown 2021!

XL thanks to @shizafrigginhotsauce for the Friggin’ hot sauce & sponsoring my show. It’s shizafriggin hot, it’s shizafriggin delicishz. So go check them out and put it on all of the foods. 😜

I miss you & love you Dad
