Our guest today is Penny Spirou. An arts critic for AU Review, and arts administrator for various organisations, university lecturer, tutor and popular music PhD – these days Penny works for The Tax Institute where she is the learning technology coordinator. We’ve known Penny since the ‘before times’ (before kids) and when she was also the treasurer of IASPM ANZ – the Australia/New Zealand Association for the Study of Popular music. We’re thrilled to have her here to catch up, as well as get some recommendations from her (and her little people).

Jessica Mauboy Music Mothers and Others

Our guest today is Jessica Mauboy. An absolute legend of Australian music, Jess is a singer, a writer, a performer – multi ARIA award winner, and recently inducted into the National Indigenous Music Awards Hall of Fame – incredible. She’s been in the spotlight for nearly 20 years, and after a long time at major labels, she has recently taken the next big boss lady move by stepping out as an independent artist on the new label Jamally, with her new single “While I Got Time”.  Oh, and somewhere in there she finds time to be an incredible Mum, Sister and Daughter. We are so excited to have you with us on Music Mothers and Others – welcome Jessica (and thanks to Blue Music Services for connecting us). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
