Ep # 81 Corin Shearston.... Amplified Regional Hits the Road

Hey Legends — buckle up for a rollicking ride. Corin joins us for a chaotic one-man roadshow: skull on the dash, Pacific Highway-bound, tech gremlins, green-screen mishaps and general keg-side mayhem. He’s out traveling the countryside with his channel Amplified Regional, exposing dusty rural music gigs, secret pub stages and tiny-town heroes who keep scenes alive long after the tour buses leave. We dig into pub culture and gigs in the sticks, wild nights in Thrashville, the human cost of the Lismore floods, and the weird, wonderful circuit of country halls and beer gardens. Corin’s living on petrol and punk, part documentarian, part road warrior — switching between heartfelt stories about community bands and laugh-out-loud disasters when the tech just won’t cooperate. It’s filthy, funny and surprisingly sincere — the kind of rambling conversation you’d have over a cold one at the back bar. Stick around: we’ll show you where the music actually lives, celebrate the unsung acts, and even point you to the best beer-garden vinyl to soundtrack your next road trip.
