Oliver has learnt a lot about dating, sex and romance through having done exactly none of those things.

He chats to Liz and Tom this week about the stories behind his show The No Bang Theory before its return season for Brisbane Festival

Autism is no laughing matter, but laugh is exactly what Matilda Award-winning Brisbane cabaret performer Oliver Hetherington-Page wants audiences to do as he debunks the myths of 'cute' autism perpetuated through popular culture favourites such as The Big Bang Theory. 

The No Bang Theory is ready to charm the pants off Brisbane with stories, show tunes and a series of sparkly jackets. Fresh from captivating audiences in Melbourne, Adelaide, Darwin, the Gold Coast and Bundaberg, it’s Brisbane Festival's turn to witness this heartbreaking and hilarious, but always honest look at life on the autism spectrum. 

You can get tickets to The No Bang Theory here: https://www.brisbanefestival.com.au/whats-on/2024/the-no-bang-theory

And here: https://nafa-tsv.com.au/event/the-no-bang-theory/

Our host Liz takes the hot seat this week… sort of. She’s actually sharing it with her good friend Pete (GREAT friend, actually). See, Liz has always wanted a baby and Pete has never wanted a baby. So when Liz decided she wanted to go down the single mum route, she called Pete.

This is part two of a two episode arc that explores what it’s like to be a sperm donor in Australia, what’s involved, and how Liz and Pete have navigated the world of known donor sperm donation.

CW: Physical, emotional and financial abuse, sexual assault and rape culture.

Some people should never be given a badge of authority. When Juanita got married, everyone in her life kept saying she was with such a good man. After all he was a school prefect who became a police officer. But what went on behind doors was a very different story.

This is a harrowing story of the abuse that can happen when people are put in positions of authority and abuse that power. It is also a story of survival and not giving up even when all seems lost.

Take a trip down memory lane with a story from our archives.

A date, on a tractor, in an abandoned constructions site, at night? Jackie says yes. And then there was the "yoga" date that was ... well ... even we don't quite know how to explain it. The word cult comes to mind? London-based voice actor and stand-up comedian Jacqueline Ozorio has been on some interesting dates.

Jackie is a London-based trained voice actor with a passion for character work and storytelling.

To further my career as a performer, she moved to London after completing her postgrad in Scriptwriting at Griffith University. She was later accepted into the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (RCSSD) where she completed an MA in Music Theatre.

Jackie then wrote her first musical, a modern feminist comedy called ‘Real Women', alongside musical director and composer Matthew Samer, which enjoyed great success in the 2015 Queensland Cabaret Festival.

Since 2018 she's been a regular on the Penny Peepshow podcast, and love the challenge of giving life to so many different characters. Alongside her professional voice over and theatre work, she can also be found doing stand-up comedy on London's open mic circuit.

To keep herself fresh and engaged, she also trains in long-form improv with London's largest improv school, the Free Association, and in her spare time she loves to play DnD, watch horror films, and knit hats on the tube.

It’s part two of Liz guesting on Every Step and this time she’s donning her agony aunty cap and giving her best advice to questions hosts Judith and Krystina pose about Love at Work.

Are workplace relationships a blessing or a curse for your career? In this episode of 'Every Step,' hosts Krystyna Weston and Judith Beck discuss a number of real life, love at work scenarios, with the insightful presence of Elizabeth Best, a seasoned Journalist and the host of the podcast 'Ghosts of Boyfriend Past.' This is Part Two. Tune in for Part One of our exploration into the world of love amidst office cubicles.

The scenarios explored in this episode include:

•You are in your late 20s single and fabulous, working in a new team with other 20-something people and you find yourself attracted to one of your team members - What would you do if they asked you out for a drink after work? 

•What would you do if your boss asked you out and you had no interest?

•What would you do if you were interested?

•You have been dating someone in your team, and are now no longer interested in going out with them. How do you break it off without damaging the work relationship?

•You have been dating someone more senior for a while in your team and people have been making comments of favouritism - how do you handle the situation?

•What would you do if you heard that the person you used to date is spreading rumours about you and has even sent a personal text from you to others?

Long distance relationships are hard… and J.M Donellan aka Josh should know. He’s had four of them! (Fool me once, shame on me, fool me four times?) He joins Liz and Tom to talk about one of the grand romances that spanned four (yes, FOUR) continents.

J.M. DONELLAN is a writer, musician, poet, and teacher. Aside from novels and poetry he’s also written plays, video games, the internationally admired podcast series Six Cold Feet and the dance performance INTER. His latest novels are the gothic mystery Lenore’s Last Funeral and the surreal thriller Rumors of Her Death. The film version of the latter is currently in development with Continuance Pictures. He’s won numerous awards in a range of artistic fields but refuses to list them all here because no one likes a braggart.
