Men In This Town: The Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In the season finale episode, I welcome Minh Bui Jones to the studio, a man who made his way over to Australia as young boy, while finding refuge from Vietnam in the late 70’s with his family. To summarise his story in any way does it no justice, so I’ll leave it to you to have a listen for yourself. But to me, it's a story of compassion and perseverance, something we can all do with a little right now.

In this episode, I welcome Tyrone Pynor to the studio, a man that caught my eye during this past fashion week here in Sydney and I knew I had to have a chat with him. Currently working his way up the ranks in the Australian media industry, the now radio presenter at Triple J is on a journey of finding out who he wants to be in this world, and expressing it through his personal style is just the beginning.

In this episode of the podcast, I welcome Tirrell Cherry to the studio, an American born Sydney sider whose military kid upbringing saw him live a gypsy like life, learning to call anyplace home. A social being at heart, Tirrell’s work always gravitated towards people, from styling hair in Atlanta, to teaching spin in New York City, now in Sydney, his work focuses on the inside, as a mindset and manifestation coach. We of course chat about all of this, plus his love for music in his work, his colourful personal style, including how he brought his early surfer vibe look from tropical Hawaii to urban Atlanta and stuck to it.

Welcome to Men In This Town: The Podcast. I’m Giuseppe Santamaria, and for over a decade, I’ve been photographing men’s street style in various towns around the world, looking for those whose dress sense speak volumes about who they are. In this podcast, I take a closer look at those men by bringing them into the studio for a portrait and having a chat about their particular approach to the many facets of life.

In the season finale of Portrait Session presented by Portuguese Flannel, I invited dancer, photographer, and all-around storyteller Luke Currie-Richardson to the studio. He talks about reaching his goal of dancing professionally for Bangarra Dance Theatre, making photos through an Indigenous lens, and why he doesn’t identify as an activist or a leader.
