I recently had the incredible opportunity to have a great chat with none other than Redd Pepper, the man behind the voice for Hollywood movie trailers such as Independence Day, Armageddon, Men In Black, Space Jam, Jurassic Park etc, as well as many TV shows and adverts. He also lent his voice to the classic late 90's video game ShadowMan, among other popular titles.
In this podcast we talked about his humble beginnings as a train driver, to his discovery and journey as a voice over artist, his family life and other things.

HUGE episode for me! I had the immense fortune of sitting down with the super friendly Neal Tiemann of Carnifex and formerly of DevilDriver and having a really cool chat about his life as a musician and what he is currently up to with Carnifex. I was lucky enough to meet Neal on Carnifex's Australian tour in 2022 and he was such a friendly and gracious dude. I'm incredibly grateful and thankful for Neal taking the time out of his undoubtedly busy schedule to speak to me, really enjoyed this!

Sat down with my long time friend and INCREDIBLY talented musician Ben Elphick of Ghost of Aquarius.
