Ep. 296 - The Quinnterview

Season 4, Ep. 97

Producer and editor of the show, massive nerd and the guy with the iron chin, Quinn Jackson, jumps across his desk and joins the boys on the couch to get interviewed for his guest episode. Quinn takes us through his childhood, growing up in the country town of Howlong, being an introverted child and going against the grain of rural living by being invested in an academic path instead of a sporting one. Quinn takes us through the transitional period of moving to Central Queensland to go to high school, being on the debating team and then getting his foot in the door in the hospitality scene after school, leading to experiences such as working in Mount Isa during the rodeo and witnessing Fred Brophy's for the first time. Quinn runs us through the lows he's experienced as well, including battling with the loss of a best mate and what it taught him to then the rollercoaster that was sending the email to Tom and Cam for the job. To wrap up, we cover the original call out that sparked the Podcast Royale, some of Quinn's media interests, starting a 3D printing business with his best mate and wrap up with a couple of ripper yarns from his life before sending it into the guest questions. Hope you enjoy trendsetters!


Big thankyou to Bec for taking over the desk for this episode.

    HUGE weekend in Melbourne. What a weekend at the supercross with some elite people. Plenty of absolute dribble and shenanigans occurred within our 48 hours in the big smoke: Poo sabotaging Quinn's plane seats, shirt cannons, motorbikes flying and the biggest mob of chafe to ever grace Melbourne city. We recap the weekend that was before diving in to the usual segments: Poo's got a bone to pick with Apricot Chicken during the cooking and we discuss cheating death during the news before covering the cricket and UFC Qatar. Absolute ripper motivation to remind you to be grateful this week before we dive into an uprising of Poo's Reviews, gizmos are back and there's plenty of reading for Quinn.
