When he first floated the idea for this podcast, Mike thought, yeah, sounds like fun. He figured it'd unfold at the usual glacial pace most creative projects do. What he didn't realise is that Danny has spent a lifetime launching projects and actually finishing them, fast. This got Mike thinking. Most creatives struggle to start, to finish, or both. So what exactly is… [Listen](https://www.buzzsprout.com/57077/episodes/19655634-21-action-man.mp3) ## Why Do People Hate Bono? _2026-08-10_ He's one of the biggest rock stars of our time. He's talented, influential, he works tirelessly to help people in need, and he and his band U2 had the audacity to give one of their albums away for free. Out of all the famous icons in the world, Bono has to be one of the worst right? Wait, why's that again? We are joined by Danny's original podcast cohost Bobby Kennedy to dig into the subject.… [Listen](https://www.buzzsprout.com/57077/episodes/19622661-why-do-people-hate-bono.mp3) ## 19.

The Day I Crashed _2026-07-27_ Back in 1996, working in a sheet metal factory, Danny heard a new song on the radio and was sure it was the new Supergroove single. It wasn't. It was "Too Much" by Dave Matthews Band, a band he'd never heard of. When his then-drummer handed him the full album, Crash, Danny's entire concept of music changed on the spot. Not only did Crash turn him into a lifelong fan, it showed him what was… [Listen](https://www.buzzsprout.com/57077/episodes/19535762-18-the-day-i-crashed.mp3) ## 17. Our Favourite TV Themes _2026-07-20_ Most of us would agree that music might just be the best time machine we have. It has the ability to take us right back to a specific point in time, a specific place, a specific memory, and one of the best examples of this is TV soundtracks. That short opening sequence of melody and rhythm has the uncanny ability of staying in our heads, attaching itself to the memories and emotions we have from… [Listen](https://www.buzzsprout.com/57077/episodes/19517819-17-our-favourite-tv-themes.mp3) ## 16. Worst Gig Stories _2026-07-13_ You'd be forgiven for thinking a professional musician's life is made up entirely of inspiration, joy, fun and adventure. But is that true, or is it a little romanticised? And why should something as simple and as awesome as playing music be so challenging? Rooney and Danny sit down for a quick fire back and forth, sharing their most ridiculous worst gig stories. Tune in and let their frustration… [Listen](https://www.buzzsprout.com/57077/episodes/19483596-16-worst-gig-stories.mp3) ## 15. Fav Guitarists vs Fav Drummers _2026-07-06_ Mike's off chasing moose and drinking maple syrup in Canada, eh? So this week, drummer Rooney brings in some of his favourite guitarists, while guitarist Danny returns the favour with some of his favourite drummers. Together they dig into what actually makes a great drummer, and a great guitarist, while spinning some of their favourite tracks along the way. whatdoweknow.co.nz… [Listen](https://www.buzzsprout.com/57077/episodes/19449551-15-fav-guitarists-vs-fav-drummers.mp3) ## 14. Blame Canada? _2026-06-29_ It's crude, it's offensive, and it's far more carefully crafted than it has any right to be. Our two hosts revisit South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut and talk about its incredible soundtrack. Could it be that beneath the juvenile exterior of this crass movie lies true craft, talent and sophistication? And did this ridiculous movie predict the world we're living in now? whatdoweknow.co.nz… [Listen](https://www.buzzsprout.com/57077/episodes/19415789-14-blame-canada.mp3) ## 12. Pick Me Up Mr Glyn _2026-06-22_ Buzzsprout If a tree falls in the forest and no one's there to hear it, does it make a sound? Not if it doesn't have pickups!
