In this very special B-Side, Josh Pyke and Cameron James sit down with Australia’s favourite cultural prankster and storyteller, John Safran. Before his TV and radio antics, John was the frontman of Melbourne indie band Raspberry Cordial, where his knack for witty wordplay and subversive humour first found a stage.

\n

From those early gigging days to turning pop culture upside-down on Race Around the World and John Safran vs God, John’s career has been as unpredictable as it is entertaining. The trio dig into his lifelong love of music, the art of using a song to make a point, and wrestle with the age-old question: how do you actually define a novelty song?

\n

Expect candid stories, sideways detours, and a few behind-the-scenes confessions about the stunts that almost didn’t make it to air. Whether you know him as a fearless documentarian, a radio rebel, or just the guy who once got himself exorcised on camera, this is John Safran as you’ve never heard him before.
