Belly Podcast - 27 October 2026

After a weekend of Dingo festival delights, we kick off the show by welcoming musician Lila Swain (pictured center) and DJ Rahel an event organiser helping make magic happen up at Coorabell Hall every Thursday as part of the Foxy Lu crew. 

They’ll both be in to tell you more about the Speak Easy Jazz night happening this Thursday called ‘License to Play’ and quite possibly convince you to head along and support live music and local goodness.

In the second skunk hour of the show, we’ll have Del Larkin on the Belly hotline, from the band Sunkhour performing this Sunday at the Arts Factory bringing their unique and much-loved sound to the ears and hearts of the Byronshore. The tour is Back to Basics but I’m almost certain there'll be nothing basic about it!

In the second hour we’ll continue the interview we started last week in Part 2 with Dr. Corin Storkey (pictured) from Seleno Health.

New Zealand born co-founder and co-director of Seleno Health Corin has over15 years of academic and research experience, specialising in medicinal antioxidant chemistry, oxidative diseases, cellular protection and health. He holds a PhD in medicinal chemistry from the University of Melbourne, and the Heart Research Institute – Sydney. 

He currently leads the New Zealand based Maca and cacao research program in Otago Uni in NZ that studies Andean and Amazonian plant medicines and substantiates their traditions through biochemical analysis. His latest projects include Bean to Brain - substantiating traditional uses of ceremonial cacao by Peruvian shamans through biochemical mapping of active metabolites.

Last week's interview began with us eating some limited-edition Gut Happy chocolate and mapped its progress through the mind and body. Fascinating. We’ll pick up where we left off hearing and learning more about the molecules in Cacoa and how they work within the Endo Cannabinoid System. Particularly Anandamide.

All of that to come this week on Belly splattered with music of a south American flavour to enhance the worded journey to the heart of the Peruvian plains where the focus of the cacao bean originated.
