FORUM LIVE PODCASTS

We’re rounding up some of your most-listened-to podcasts and recording them live from the festival grounds. The best bit? You get to eavesdrop. Here’s what’s going down…

Join author, speaker, therapist, and the creator of the global phenomenon, Like A Version, Lissie Turner AKA Mel Bampton as she explores the connection between environmental and human mental health.  

Become smarter than your boss at What the Flux, which breaks down three major business stories in five minutes.

Where’s Your Head At? hosted by Love Island favourites Anna McEvoy and Matt Zukowski will talk relationships, break-ups, reality television, and everything in between. 

Laugh at the messiness of life with Sometimes Funny Always Awkward – unfiltered chats about dating, sex, adulthood and being a hot mess! 

Kings of satire, The Betoota Advocate will sit down and interview a topical guest while reporting fiercely, without fear or favour, on the latest news.

THE SCIENCE TENT

Back bigger, bolder, and brainier than ever before – you’ll forget you came to the festival for the tunes. Body farms and forensics to solve crimes? Check. Conservation and wild animals in drag? You bet. The science of wellness? Hook up that IV baby, you’re all covered. 

COMEDY CLUB

As the sun sets on the Forum, the Splendour Comedy Club fires up! From Thursday through to Sunday, expect a (jimmy) buffet of comedy treats by some of the country’s most hilarious. You may want to pack an extra pair of (dry) pants.
