16 Apr 2025 The Phatt – 16th April 2025 With Easter in the air, it's an exciting time in Bendigo. Brett and Keith had a chat with Col Thompson about the Easter Blues Bender being run by the Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival crew – there's plenty of great live music over the easter break to catch. As always, Brett and Keith ran through music history as Brett tried (and mostly succeeded) to confound Keith with the trivia that is "This Day in Music History". In the second hour they had a Community Conversation with Dulce Munoz from Loddon Campaspe Multicultural Services covering off all the great work they do across Bendigo and the wider region – you'll also be able to catch our chat with Dulce on our Phatt Community Conversations podcast. And although they thought the day's Word Up was missed, it was actually guessed (even though they were slack and only used it once). Great work by an eagle-eared listener, winning a $25 voucher to use at the Old Boundary Hotel in Milroy St.
9 Apr 2025 The Phatt – 9th April 2025 Another Wednesday, another Phatt. At least this week, Keith had some success in This Day in Music History, but sadly their expected phone chat with comedian Ross Noble didn't happen (due to outside circumstances), and in all the bedlam no-one got the Word Up for the day. But in the second hour, Brett and Keith were lucky enough to have an extended chat with Phil Tune from Bendigo Health about mental health across the Bendigo region. Don't forget that Bendigo Health are looking for feedback for their new strategic plan – go to www.bendigohealth.org.au/strategic_plan/ to have some input.
2 Apr 2025 The Phatt – 2nd April 2025 This morning on The Phatt, we had the usual brain-busting "This Day In Music History" quiz to kick things off, and spent some time on Cory watch – with U.S. Senator Cory Booker's record-making speech. In the first hour Brett and Keith with John Traill from Uncle Bobs Club Bendigo Branch about their fundraising for this year's Good Friday Appeal, and in the second hour the a Community Conversation was with Helen Yorston from the Bendigo Volunteer Resource Centre about all things volunteering. Sadly they had zilch guesses on Word Up, so no-one received the $25 voucher to use at the magnificent Old Boundary Hotel in Milroy St.
26 Mar 2025 The Phatt – 26th March 2025 Another week, another failure of Keith's previously encyclopedic knowledge of music in This Day in Music History – buy these questions are tough! But never fear because he and Brett had a great chat with Bendigo PRIDE Festival Glambassador Miss Polly Filla, and then in the Community Conversation, had a deep dive on all things Bendigo Military Museum with Curator Lena Morrison-van Velsen. A heap of discovery as always on The Phatt. But, the listeners don't appear to have a penchant for Word Up as they missed out on the $25 Old Boundary Hotel voucher again! Maybe next week.
