The Mitchen: a podcast about FOOD

August 24, 2015 By LEVINS 4 Comments

I’ve started another podcast! This one’s called The Mitchen! It’s a weekly panel about food, hosted by ACME‘s head chef Mitchell Orr and I from his his kitchen table, with four guests from the food world joining us each episode to discuss food and restaurant news.

For our first episode we are joined by four talented and hilarious chefs – Mike Eggert (Pinbone), Analiese Gregory (ACME, ex-Quay), Kerby Craig (Ume) and Clayton Eggert (Automata, ex-Momofuku Seiobo). Together we mourn the recent closure of Pinbone, find out how to pronounce Clayton’s new restuarant, react to the news of Noma hosting a pop-up restaurant in Sydney next year, argue over our favourite sandwiches and take a few shots at our good friend Dan Hong.

Two new eppys of HEY FAM!

August 19, 2015 By LEVINS Leave a Comment

Two weeks have passed, which means there’ve been two more episodes of my smash hit podcast Hey Fam..! Both episodes feature my co-host Angus Truskett and I shredding it up with bonafide Melbourne comedians. Subscribe to Hey Fam on iTunes or stream those shits below! No girls ALLOWED (until next week).

Episode 7: The Scene (with Tommy Dassalo)

Levins and (sober) Angus are joined by Melbourne mate Tommy Dassalo, host of The Little Dum Dum Club Podcast. We think about the things that make YOU think, including that second last eppy of True Detective, the abomination that is Pixels vs. the Adam Sandler movies we grew up with, Nintendo in Japan and how hard it is keeping up with Ballers every week. Plus we introduce multiple new segments, like the enthralling DREAMCAST and the extremely next level MAKES U THINK.

Episode 8: New York (with Stuart Daulman)

Hey Fam is eight episodes old! We celebrate by cutting us a birthday slice of Melbourne comedian (ugh we know, another one) Stuart Daulman. Together we dissect that final episode of True Detective season two and take a look at the season overall. Did we love it? Who do we want for season three? Is there any other podcast in the game that will spend a solid 20 minutes recasting The Sandlot Kids for a new generation? We answer all these questions PLUS give you some tight chats about Star Wars, The Beatles and our favourite laneways of Melbourne.

My new podcast: Hey Fam!

I’ve started a new podcast, three years after the death of my short lived Hip Hoptimists podcast with Franco. This new one is called Hey Fam..! and I host it with with my good friend Angus Truskett, the genius behind my favourite Facebook page, Plucka Duck Memes. Each week we hang out in his living room and talk about all the pop culture we’ve ingested over the past week – movies, tv shows, comics, video games etc etc. Recording the podcast has become the highlight of my week and we’ve started getting guests to join us in Angus’s living room.

You can subscribe on iTunes (and leave a review if you like it!) or listen to each episode individually below. Thanks fam!
