First Wine of the Day 3 featuring Dr Karl, Beans on Toast, and Oliver Clark

from Radio Woodfordia

One of the best reviews of Woodford Folk Festival you'll ever hear comes second-hand, from a new friend named Neil.This episode was recorded live from the Woodford Folk Festival as part of First Wine of the Day. Day three, and Harley Breen has finally had a shower. With Nikki Britton stranded on the Bruce Highway (again), comedian Oliver Clark steps in as co-host — and promptly gets upstaged by a surprise grandma in full polyester, and the national treasure that is Dr. Karl.Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki breaks down the three-part formula behind his seemingly infinite knowledge, sings a surprisingly committed rendition of Bad Case of Loving You, and reminds us all that science is simply a way to not get fooled. Then UK folk troubadour Beans on Toast, fresh off his first ever Woodford appearances the day before, drops in to play two songs — opening with the kind of song that sneaks up on you with Send Me a Bird, before closing out with the crowd singalong Beano, a love letter to Australian slang.This episode is for:Anyone who's ever had their faith in humanity restored by a communityPeople who want to know how Dr. Karl actually knows everythingAnyone who needs a good cry followed immediately by a singalong about prawnsDive in to hear about:What happens when your co-host gets stranded on the Bruce Highway and someone's grandma shows up insteadThe three-part formula Dr. Karl uses to make complex knowledge stick — and why a surprise midnight visit from a Hollywood A-lister is involvedBeans on Toast finding a home at Woodford on his very first visitTo come to the Woodford Folk Festival and FWOD next year visit: https://woodfordfolkfestival.com/FOR MORE:Beans on Toast: https://www.beansontoastmusic.comDr. Karl: https://drkarl.comOliver Clark: https://www.instagram.com/theoliverclarkHarley Breen: https://www.harleybreen.com.auNikki Britton: https://www.instagram.com/thenikkibrittonCREDITS:Hosts: Harley Breen, Nikki BrittonGuests: Oliver Clark, Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki, Beans on Toast, GrannyProducer: Bree Hickson-JamiesonExecutive Producers: Benny Wallington, Georgia ShawArtwork: Hannah RoseSocial Media: Eliza CowanAssistant: Madeline CorcoranCamera Operators: Amelie Barham, Ben 'Tofty' ToftEditing: Amelie BarhamMusic by: The East PointersRecorded on Jinibara Country#RadioWoodfordia #DrKarl #BeansOnToast #OliverClark #WoodfordFolkFestival #HarleyBreen #NikkiBritton #LivePodcast #Woodfordia #FolkMusic #LiveMusic #ComedyJoin the Woodfordian Citizens:Perks -- Bi-Monthly emails sharing the ins and outs of the world of Woodfordia and the people who keep the heart beating.- Special invites to special events on site at Woodfordia.
