Tim Ross, comedian and architecture aficionado (TFM LIVE)

Tim Ross is a man of many talents - one of which is talking, but his love for mid-century modern architecture has taken pride of place since his former life as one half of the legendary radio duo Merrick and Rosso. Like a modern-day indoorsy Paul Hogan, there’s something about Tim Ross’s  Australian sensibilities that we connect to. He makes us feel Australian without the Southern Cross tattoo. Tim is the recipient of the National Trust Heritage Award for Advocacy regarding Australia’s legacy of modernist architecture; of an Australian Institute of Architects National President’s Prize for activism and outstanding contribution to the profession; was a National Architecture Awards jury member and is an honorary Institute member.His three food memories are a hit of 80s nostalgia with the bonus of pineapple (of course) and revolve around the food of his teenage years. Tim's memories are full of surprising and incredible stories about his parents - his mum was a GP and his dad a pharmacist (and lunchtime nudist). Tim’s social cause is the Aboriginal Legal Services NSW / ACT. He says it’s an inconvenient truth to find out what we learned in school wasn’t the full history of our country and it’s going to take us a long time to understand the landscape in the way that we should. We have to listen to Indigenous Australians.  This episode was recorded live at the Poliform showroom in Sydney. TFM is produced and edited by Lauren McWhirterOriginal score by Russell TorranceSend us Fan MailTo find out more about the project and Savva - head to threefoodmemories.comInsta - @savvasavas @threefoodmemoriesEmail us at [email protected], we'd love to hear from you!  TFM is produced and edited by Lauren McWhirter with original music by Russell Torrance.
