Ep 162: Bruce “Hoppo” Hopkins
his week, the face of Bondi Rescue talks gives our listeners a little insight into what doesn’t make the nightly programming. Aside from spending the last decade on TV screens in 151 different countries, there’s a lot more that comes with the responsibilities that Bruce Hopkins is tasked with between the flags and out past the headlands. He’s been working Bondi Beach since 1991, and has seen more rescues than any other serving lifeguard.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep 160: Abdul Abdullah
With the 2021 Archibald Prize right around the corner, The Betoota Advocate editors interview five-time finalist Abdul Abdullah. From his unconventional artist beginnings as a Muslim kid raised in a Perth boxing gym, to his recent clashes with redneck councilors demanding his paintings be taken off the walls in Mackay Regional Gallery - Abdul’s attitude, style and approach to painting is not what we usually associate with the arancini balls and complimentary champagne of the Australian art world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
