Festivals, Movie Stars & Good Chat: Here Is The Music Podcast's Best Of 2018

Staff Writer

Here are our ten favourite episodes of the year.

It's been a huge year for The Music Podcast. 

We've gone to Splendour In The Grass, we've sat down with movie legends and Oscars hopefuls like Jamie Lee Curtis and Rami Malek, we've gotten to know some of Australia's emerging acts at BIGSOUND 2018 and we have spoken with some of the world's biggest names in music and film including Troye Sivan, Royal Blood, Alison Wonderland, Joel Edgerton, MGMT, Tom Morello and PNAU.

For your listening pleasure, we've picked ten of our favourite episodes from this year (in no particular order, we promise).

Amy Shark got in the studio this week to talk about debut ARIA #1 album, Love Monster, as well as ticking off dreams with blink-182's Mark Hoppus & Dashboard Confessional.

We were backstage at Good Things Festival in Sydney this month and we hung out with some of the event's big names including The Offspring, Dashboard Confessional, Stone Sour, The Used, Mayday Parade, Tonight Alive and Northlane!

Recently in Australia for his first-ever solo headline tour, William Ryan Key dropped by The Music Podcast to talk about his debut EP, Yellowcard's past and his solo future.

Radnor & Lee

Josh Radnor (How I Met Your Mother) and Ben Lee - Radnor & Lee - joined The Music Podcast ahead of their debut Australian tour. The duo talk about their music,  what fame does (or doesn't mean) to them and what the future holds.

Zan Rowe

Zan Rowe joined The Music Podcast to give the boys a schooling in audio presenting. Rowe discussed her switch from triple j to Double J, her favourite 'Take 5' segments and so much more!

Julia Zemiro 

Julia Zemiro co-hosted the podcast (yes, we really all were standing for this) ahead of the RocKwiz Live shows to talk about the future of the show, her time as co-host of Eurovision and more.

Papa Roach 

Papa Roach jumped in the studio during their first headline tour of Australia earlier this year to talk what took them so long getting back Down Under, touring with Axl Rose and fighting Marilyn Manson on stage... and that's just the beginning.

Splendour In The Grass 

Backstage at Splendour turned into a four-parter but we thought we'd highlight our interviews with Perth artist Stella Donnelly and music legend Henry Rollins who went to town on the current state of America and of course, President Donald Trump. You're gonna want to hear this one!

Jamie Lee Curtis/Rami Malek/Joel Edgerton

A very special episode of The Music Podcast saw us Neil chatting with some of Hollywood's finest talent, including Halloween's Jamie Lee Curtis, Boy Erased's Joel Edgerton and Bohemian Rhapsody's Rami Malek.
