Boyfriend material, Han Arbuthnott is here to chat Juno by Remi Wolf. The episode that gets faster and faster as it goes along.

It's them pesky ol' Blues Brothers. They're raising money for the orphanage they grew up in and singing songs to make it happen. The phenomenal Gabbi Bolt joins Conk to chat the album and how it informed their introduction to music (AND COMEDY). Love it. 

Bok and Roll. Johnny Cash has been going through a bit of a quiet period.. But he's off the drugs and wanting the next big thing to kickstart his career again. Perhaps a prison performance? Lauren Bok is here to discuss the incredible At Folsom Prison, the live album that is as much about the banter and vibe as it is the songs. 

SOLO CONK.Conk takes you through the songs that defined his entry to music. The single he received from Father Christmas himself. The first CD he purchased. The gig that blew his mind. It's all here.

THE highest selling album in Australia's history. THE Rebel Star. A Conk.7 gargantuan tracks that sit 5 floors above over-the-top. A classic that took a LOT of convincing to get recorded and released. This episode may feature a phone call from a grandmother, a whole lot of Meat Loaf and a full rendition of a 7 minute track by Rebel and Conk. It's a fun one. 

It's time to Let Go. The always predictable Bel Anderson Hunt shares more than one story of a song from this album being sung at someone to spite them. It's a real doozy. 

The ninth of MANY MORE albums by The Mountain Goats. The wonderful Olly Lawrence introduces Conk to this iconic and prolific body of work and it is great. 

Daft Punk's final album. With the finest comedian.Stories of small towns in New South Wales, firm boundaries for music listening with families and open top driving in Los Angeles, this truly is an episode of Long Play.

She rose. She fell. She's from the midwest (the eastern section of the United States of America). She's a princess. But what does Jackson Eather think about it all??? Is it the best pop debut of the last 20 years???????? Is it alllll rise???Conk has definitive answers for this. And now so will you. So strap in, get knee deep in the passenger seat, and enjoy. 

Jett ushers in the Little Dark Age. A monument to the 2 weeks in 2018 that Jett got into music in a really big way.

Listen to Conk and Jett yack it up only on the latest episode of Long Play with Conk (this podcast ehhe).

That stuffy old geezer, Gerald from 47B, doesn't know good music when it hits him across the chest, displacing his ribs forever. HARDSTYLE.
