After 20 episodes of laughter, chaos, and confession, Tim and Jordan wrap up Season 1 of No Notes the only way they know how — with warmth, wit, and zero structure. They look back on their favourite moments, revisit the wild tangents that made them laugh the hardest, and reflect on how far they’ve come since that very first day in the studio.
From lessons learned and friendships deepened to the power of showing up (even when you’re exhausted or over-caffeinated), this finale is a love letter to every listener who’s joined them along the way. Expect gratitude, giggles, petty grievances, and a few tears — mostly Jordan’s.
It’s equal parts wrap-party and therapy session — the perfect full-circle finish to a season that’s been anything but ordinary.

Simple Joys, Big Goodbyes

This week is all about neighbours - good, bad, and downright terrifying. Tim’s car is stolen from his New Farm driveway in broad daylight, setting off police reports, arrests, and a crash course in feeling safe at home. Jordan rewinds to the Sydney apartment where a late-night thud became a homicide investigation and a second round of witness statements. We swap war stories, ask what “community” actually looks like in 2025, and admit where we’ve gotten neighbours wrong (and right). Plus, Petty Grievances (scent etiquette, juvenile crime) and a Simple Joy you can sip.

WE’RE BACK BABY!

Brisbane’s own Sheppard - siblings Amy, George, and Emma - sit down with Tim for a high-spirited, candid chat that traces the band’s arc from busking duos and Valley Fiesta sets to the stomp heard around the world: “Geronimo.” They relive the song’s kitchen-table birth and a run of true pinch-me moments, and unpack why tall-poppy culture still bites.

From an intimate Warsaw gig of 59 people to the promise of their first fully independent album, the trio reflect on connection, growth, and what’s next for Sheppard. Along the way, they share laughter, candour, and a few Simple Joys & Petty Grievances that keep life grounded.

Besties in the Bard: Loren Hunter & Natalie Abbott

Tim sits down with Courtney Stewart to reflect on her path from performer to Artistic Director, mentorship, legacy, and the lessons learned along the way. From her fruitful acting career to the many hats she has worn as a creative leader, Courtney’s journey proves no two artistic paths look the same. 

Later, playwright–performer Merlynn Tong joins to share her process behind Congratulations, Get Rich - including why, in Mandarin slang, “38” means “bitch,” and how that bold idea shaped her latest work. 

A co-production between Sydney Theatre Company, Singapore Repertory Theatre, and La Boite, the show premieres in Brisbane this September before touring internationally through October.

"Changing the World One Story at a Time” (Courtney Stewart & Merlynn Tong)

Opera Queensland’s latest production of La bohème is here - and we’re joined by the luminous Nina Korbe to dive into the music, the madness, and the magic. From her first time in the OQ chorus at just 15, to stepping into the fiery role of Musetta, Nina shares the full-circle journey that brought her to one of opera’s most beloved characters.

We talk La bohème vs. Rent, the thrill of standing in front of a full orchestra, and why this production finds the sweet spot between grit and grandeur. Nina also teases her next big leap — starring in The Drover’s Wife (penned by her aunt, the legendary Leah Purcell) - and what it means to tell First Nations stories on Australia’s biggest stages.

La bohème is an original co-production by Opera Queensland and West Australian Opera. Presented in association with Brisbane Festival and QPAC presents.

Barking, Black Outfits & Brisbane Royalty: Ben from Brisbane Unleashed

This week, it’s just Tim and Jordan - no guest, no script, and enough chaos to fuel an entire season. They debate The Summer I Turned Pretty vs. Twilight romances (are you Team Jeremiah/Conrad or Team Edward/Jacob?), spiral into the existential dread of turning 30, and ponder the great mystery of our time: does anyone actually know what to do when sitting in the emergency exit row? Somewhere between dating app disasters, petty grievances, and nostalgic tangents, they also uncover the legend of the town mirror, celebrate the joy of fresh hotel sheets, and wade through the horror of bin juice. It’s unfiltered, unpredictable, and unapologetically No Notes.

No Guest, No Plan, No Problem

International cabaret icon Reuben Kaye brings all of it in this electrifying episode - glitter, profanity, genuine wisdom and a whole lot of heart. It’s filthy, it’s heartfelt, it’s inspiring, and it’s one of the most unfiltered conversations we’ve ever had. We cackle, and we clutch our pearls as Reuben takes us from outrageous stories and razor-sharp one-liners to unexpectedly moving reflections on identity, resilience and life in and out of the spotlight. Expect big laughs, big love and language your grandmother definitely wouldn’t approve of. Listener discretion advised: this one gets deliciously filthy.
