Welcome to our Summer Edition of In the Cove's Podcast. We revisit three of our favourite interviews from last year. Our regular monthly podcast will be released on January 20th 2021 - the third Wednesday of the Month. Our podcast is sponsored by Centro Lane Cove West - a convenience store located in Waterview Drive (the Burns Bay Road Complex) .It is worth checking them out as they have an extensive convenience item range (including vegan meals) and if you are looking for a present for a homesick US, Brazilian, Asian friend they have a big range of foods from overseas to try. Here is a tip - if you live in Riverview you can easily access Centro by walking across Burns Bay Reserve and walking to Hughes Park - so easy and Centro has barista coffee and all your convenience foods. Find out more about Centro here.
Simon Kennedy is a Lane Cove Local and a very funny man. With more than 16 years as an international headline comedian, presenter and writer, Simon is one of Australia's most insightful, and versatile entertainers. We speak to him about how he has managed to keep busy working as a comedian during COVID 19. He is also one of Australia’s best Donald Trump Impersonators. Will Trump leave the White House?– will he have to pivot and become the best Joe Biden impersonator? Simon would be very happy to take this role on.
Simon has also written the book 9/11 AND THE ART OF HAPPINESS. This book has gained worldwide accolades. Simon writes about resilience, success, happiness, and the art of letting go of bitterness and hatred.
