Whenever You're listening Today, This is Lisa and Russell's podcast.
Coming up. On the podcast, we chat to Liliana Aguerre
from the Multicultural Language Center in Subiaco. She has agreed
to teach Russell Spanish. Hello, we take calls analogy sing
As it is the first day of the Spring equadox.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Lisa's new boyfriend has an issue with her perfume man.
She's not quite sure how to navigate the issue. Ryan
Taff from Barking Gecko Arts chats about what's on for
the kids these school holidays. Jimmy Kimmel is returning to
TV after the past week of controversy and fall out
with his bosses at Disney.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
And we hate to be the bearer of bad news,
but the rapture is apparently happening tonight. Sorry for the
short notice.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
The sure report on ninety six AIRVM.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
It's going to be interesting to see what Jimmy Kimmel
says when here At turns to his show tonight after
Disney and ABC lifted their suspension. It'll be interesting to
see if he gives any indication of how their talks
behind the scenes went down. I mean, four hundred celebrities
had joined with the American Civil Liberties Union to protest
Kimmel's suspension. Tom Hanks, Jennifer Aniston, Meryl Street, Jamie Lee, Curtis,

(01:18):
Jason Bateman, Martin Shorter among those who signed an open
letter protesting Disney's decision, warning of its ramifications on Americans
right to speak freely around the world, people were canceling
their streaming. You know, Disney Services strengths the crazies, That's
what I mean. It will be interesting to see if

(01:38):
he gives any indication because the way Disney told the
story this morning was like, well, we've had talks with him,
and you know that's sounding very parental, But it could
have been Jimmy that has the upper hand of the talks. Anyway,
maybe maybe not. We'll learn some more when he gets
back for his model.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Those lawyers had the most exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Actor Gary Boosey has been sentenced to two years of
probation after pleading guilty to inappropriately touching a woman at
a convention in twenty twenty two. The case lasted three
years as several women accused Boosy of harassment and misconduct
during New Jerseys Monster Mania con The eighty one year
old had at first maintained his innocence, adding that he
had no regrets about his behavior at the convention. His

(02:22):
legal team say now he's pleased the case has been resolved.
Tom Holland has suffered an injury while filming the New
Spider Man film Brand New Day. I don't know what
he did, but he's dealing with a mild concussion and
he's taking a few days off filming to recover. Now
you might want to get your affairs in order. The
Second Coming is trending on social media. A South African

(02:42):
pastor named Joshua Malkella Malakella Malakella has gone viral claiming
that the Rapture is happening this week, just quietly. I
think it's tipped for tonight. Sorry about the late notice.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
I haven't got anything to wear.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I have never got into air. What do you wear
for the rapture? You need a date for the end
of the world, don't you. Well? For those not in
the know, the Rapture is a belief held by some
Christians about the second Coming of Christ, where the end
times are near and all Christians, both dead and live,
will rise to heaven. Malakella has had a vision. He
says he saw Jesus sitting on his throne and could
hear him very loud and clear, saying, I am coming soon.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
On the equinox.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Jesus. Well, I think that's got something to do with
Jesus specifically told the pastor that the rapture would happen
around the Jewish holiday of Rashashna, and rash Hashna officially
began last night and carries through until tomorrow. There are
videos all over TikTok, so you know, you know what's
happening with the hashtag.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Consult your Bible, Consult TikTok rapture talk, the Testament of.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Forget Genesis Hapsha capture hashtag rapture talk with people giving
advice on how to get ready for the Second Coming,
because I do have so many questions. What do you wear?
What do you need to hack? Can I bring my dog? Probably?
Probably listen. I probably don't have to worry.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
He hasn't given us a lot of time to get things.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
That's what I mean. I'm sorry about the late notice.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
It's terrible. There is very poor planning. That's all I
can say has read an incident. Is there trouble in paradise.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
No, there's not trouble in paradise. But my boyfriend, we're
all established now. He is brutally honest, a brutally honest person,
which I really like.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, I was just going to say that sounds like
a matchma.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
I love that, or at least I did until maybe
now it has come to my attention because he told me, hmm,
it has come to my attention that he does not
like my perfume. Basically, I guess it doesn't like the
way I smell.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
It doesn't like your.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
It's Joe Malone. I've been wearing Joe Malone for twenty
years and not post Malone. And Joe Malone makes many
different sense. But I am currently obsessed with the cypress
and grape vine.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Now here you can smell that smell's then pricey smells.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah, all right, so you've got something to go on, Okay,
it's yeah, it's not cheap. It is the thing, says
the cypress and grape vine. The aromatic notes of cypress
trees unite with the warmth of grapevine and the sensuality
of amber. A fresh and woody said that leaves a
lasting impression, refined, distinctive, and bold. The tasting notes say cypress,

(05:48):
a resinous, woody note gives the fragrance an aromatic freshness.
The grape vine is the heart, a blend of natural
cedar wood and vettava, completely complimented with warm amber. And
the bay amber is a note that wraps the fragrance
with woody warmth in buing the fragrance with sensuality.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
No idea what you're talking about? Well, are there are
secretions of a rare Himalayan deer musk in there as well?

Speaker 4 (06:12):
No, they are not.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
That's that's the whole point anyway. It is what is
considered a unisex scent. It Joe alone makes a lot of,
you know, fragrances that can be worn by men or women.
So maybe it's not girly enough. Do you think you
have another? Take a big with.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
It's not bad? So how much did you drop for
this one?

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (06:42):
How much did you pay for this one?

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (06:45):
My god, it's not drop from the gland of a
baby seal for that kind of mine.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
So my point is and please zero four seven six
ninety six ninety six ninety six. All advice is welcome.
How do I proceeded? Do I stop wearing it? Or
do I say, bugy you, I love this perfume and
I'm going to continue wearing it.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
She'll get used to it, He'll get used to it.
Either that or just don't wear it. Do you see
him every day? Every day?

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Not every day? I should wear it when I'm not?
Now that does see? Is that me? Am? I is
that me to give in and and cater to someone
else's passages? I don't. I'm really torn. I don't. I
love this perfume and I don't know what to do.

(07:39):
How how dare hell?

Speaker 1 (07:42):
How passionately did he unlove it? I mean, was it
just a passing comment? Like? I don't know. I'm on
the on that one.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
He doesn't wuck around.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
He was adamant.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
He doesn't sugar coat things. If he said he doesn't
like it, I'm pretty sure I could take it on board.
But he doesn't like.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
It, Well, then I think some this is a sometimes scent.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
I mean like.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Sometimes it's a special treat on my own, and at
three hundred and fifty dollars a bottle, it'll last longer
that way.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Three hundred dollars a bottle. I'm just going to wear
it on the couch with the dog.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
You don't go out all the time with him. I mean,
you can wear it in here. We don't mind, Susie
and I, we don't mind.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Ye. Most people people taste do like it, and it'll.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Wear off by the time you see him later in
the day.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Thank you. You've played it very carefully. And yeah, well
I was a bit nervous. I am devastated.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah, but you you know, because I was thinking, how
come he's never told me lots of time he doesn't
think I do like. The scent will dissipate, so will
your devastation over time.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Because I'm finishing the bottle. I'll tell you that much.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
It's going to be okay.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
You're going to have to suck it up for a while,
and then I'm finishing the bottle.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
And then next time, just by the smaller bottle, the
one hundred and fifty dollars bottle, all right, and check
the expiry date.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Thanks. Thanks, Oh give me, that's the problem. I don't mean.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
I just mean, because you're going to make it last longer,
aren't you.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
All right?

Speaker 1 (09:24):
There you go, I love you Joe below More Lisa
More Russell More podcast.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Soon on this Thursday of spring.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yes, we can all agree, now we can, whether you're
a just or an astronomer or just a pedantic panic
like Lisa. It is spring hit.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
The equinox at two nineteen this morning, and spring has arrived,
and you know, with a smellet in the air.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yes or that or that?

Speaker 4 (09:53):
Joe?

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Is that my verfume? Love it or hate? We want
to talk about our.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
What gets up your Maybe that's the problem.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Maybe that's why he doesn't like my perfume. Maybe he's
allergic to it. Maybe he hasn't sneezed, he just said
I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Maybe he just looks away and his eyes start watering
and rubbing his eyes.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
We want to talk about allergies because a spring means
hey fever season. What triggers yours?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
What triggered and how bad do you get? Maybe some tips,
some tips people could always do with some tips. Something
a zoo tech is one. There's tell fast or maybe
there's some sort of there's some old remedy for I'm
not affected by.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
The histamines in red wine, because.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
That would be that would be a tragedy.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
That would be a tragedy. Stick and I can't drink red.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Ones the perfume. Now the red wine.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
No, I don't worry. Don't worry. The red wine won't
be bothering him. What triggers your allergies? Are you an used.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
To be more so, I just actually copy quite badly
in spring. But no, not so much anymore, he said,
Touchwood season is not going to be the first in
many so yeah, no, no, I'm not too bad. But
I know I do remember what it's like, and it
ain't fun.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Well, we've already had a text from Wendy Saint people
trigger my ology in consider a disrespectful people. Yes, we're
we're talking about Well.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
It doesn't happen much general triggers, doesn't just Wendy.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, So what gets up your nose? What makes your
eyes water?

Speaker 2 (11:38):
The Sunday in Bridgewood's He there's no allergy. But when
I look anywhere near the sun, my eyes start tickling,
and I have about fourteen or fifteen full blooded sneezes. Wow,
my grandfather used to always times in a row like that.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Try a pair of aviators, maybe to wear some sunglasses.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Just don't look at the sun.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
That's always the advice I was given as a kid.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Don't at the sun.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Don't look at the sun.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Look through one of those pile things that you look
through at the eclipse. Maybe just carry one of those
around everywhere you go. Had Gosnell says, the morning sun,
the first thing when I wake up is what triggers
his allergy. Melanie in Woodridge says, we live across the
road from a massive carrot farm. And yeah, and last Friday,

(12:27):
I am allergic to them. Cooked and last Friday they
spread so much chuck manure. I actually thought I'd stepped
in a dog pow. Got out of the cart away
from the gate, everything started watering. My nose was running.
It was so bad. My cure was David Gray's citronella spray.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Okay neutralizes the Maybe, well it helped, It helped.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yes, because it did. It was a weekend linger, a smell.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Home alone.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yes, apparently I was awakening.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Back to the perfume bass having problems. The boyfriend is
not sold on Lisa's favorite perfume three bottle.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Exactly you should like it. Saphie and Clarkson, Good morning,
Good morning, good morning. What is your allergies?

Speaker 5 (13:27):
Oh my gosh, everything. Seriously, I'm allergic to tree polland
grass polland horses, cats, dogs, everything.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 5 (13:37):
And I think like in the spring when it gets windy,
the weather gets good, but it gets windy and it
just turns everything up and I'm dying at the moment.
My eyes are so red.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Because the last couple of days, because the wind's been
coming in off the land, hasn't it, So it's coming
in off the farms and the bush all the pollens.
You been horrible. You must love it when the sea
breeze comes in, because you're not allergic to the ocean,
are you.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
Yeah? No, no, definitely not love the ocean.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Except for all the dogs running along the soph all right, Craig,
I think Craig is also a pollen sufferer.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
It's a common one.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, what have you got for us, Craig.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
Well, my cure for it is, or given to me
by my doctor a long time ago, was to never
put your bedding, your sheets, your pillow slip, or your
shirt out on the clothesline after you've watched them. Yeah,
because what that does is it just catches all the
pollen in the air and while you sleep of the
night time or wear your shirts during the day. It

(14:48):
releases all that pollen and you just breathe it all
back in.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah, last night, I would have collected all that smoke
that was around two.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yeah, smoke doesn't actually affect me. But yes, the pollens
hate fe has dropped all the way down since I've
been doing that now for years.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, that's good advice.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
That's a very good tip.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yes, sometimes you might not think of well absolutely.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Also, just just to comment on your perfume. A partner,
previous partner of mine, I was allergic to one of
the perfume. Allergic. Every time she wore it, I would sneak.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Oh, what it is allergic? That would be one thing.
He just doesn't like it.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
Possibly is an allergy to it, And that's why he's
telling you he doesn't like.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Trust me. If he was allergic to me to it,
he tells me he could have been diplomatic and just said, oh,
that really just kind of aggravates my sinuses.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
I could have done that and he But then you've
got to that if you're going to get serious with him,
you've got to ask you ask yourself the question, do
you like him more than you like the perfume. You
might want him to come near you every now and then.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Thanks Cry, You've got all the good advice.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Seriously, there you go.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Ten sixty five, or you can text us on zero
four seven six ninety six, ninety six ninety six. What
triggers your allergies? And what advice like that great advice
from Craig just to remind it. Don't leave things outside.
Yeah that makes to dry because it's just going to
be a collector.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
So which is a problem if you don't ever dryer anyway.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
True clothes horse inside do you? Yeah? Pretty much? Well
set for sheets and that's.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
What that's what he's talking about.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
But yeah, luckily I don't. I'm not affected by the point.
Wendy and Gosnell's on the text says, I have lots
of allergies. I learned a while ago to put vassaline
under my nostrils, and it stops the allergians going up
your nose. She says, I wish I'd heard that decades ago.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
I'm not all I believe that before might work.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Wendy says it does. She says, I wish I'd heard
it decades ago.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Vasoline sales will be going up to under the snows.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
There you go, Trevor and Alkamols.

Speaker 6 (17:11):

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Good morning Trevor. Well, thank you. Still breathing freely so far?

Speaker 2 (17:19):

Speaker 4 (17:26):
Yeah. I start sneaking too. Yeah when I when I
buy the wife to buy the expensive one.

Speaker 6 (18:25):
Perfume.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, that's what you need, a man who is allergic
to cheat perfume. Sharon in forest Field, Hello, Sharon, are
you good. I believe you have the greatest cure always
is Dad's cure.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yes, my dad always believed in vi.

Speaker 6 (18:48):
Vied the nostrils cures everything.

Speaker 5 (18:51):
It's from hey fever to any any remedy that you need.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
I used to love a bit of vix when I
had a cold as a kid. But up on your chair.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
It's a long time to have to wear vix though,
you know, September, October, maybe into November.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, but if it were.

Speaker 6 (19:08):
Even if he was going out, because perfumes made him
sleeep and long after was always fixed up the nostrils.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
A bit of vix A lot of people get, yeah, perfumes.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Well, thank you Sharon.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
So we've got vassoline and vix yes, no problem, having
a great day to thanks Sharon.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
We were looking up the bit of vassiline under the
nose before it says it does literally trap pollen. Some
will sneak through, but it will trap a lot of
the pollens.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
You can't catch everything.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
It was Wendy that told us thank you.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Very much for your tips this morning, and now you
know it makes us all feel a little bit better.
You know, everyone's in the same boat.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Almost Yes, at this time of year.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
You need a hanky.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
More more of Lisa and Muscles podcast. It's on the way.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
So so I I think my golf is going. It's
it's making progress because I've already had an injury. Now
it is time to get a Spanish teacher Russell for you.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
So so I've got a tongue in injury. I'm going
to coming up trying to get my pronunciation correct.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
The Multicultural Language Center in Subiaco seem like a good
place to go, and we have Liliana Agire on the
line with this.

Speaker 6 (20:24):
Good morning, Liliana, Good morning Lisa and Russell. How are
you today?

Speaker 3 (20:29):
I should say sounds I've been doing already having a
conversation with Russell.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
I've been doing some duo lingo, you see, just to
you know, get a few phrases and words. But I need,
I need to be taken further. Liliana.

Speaker 6 (20:47):
Absolutely, we can help you, Russell. That's not a problem
at all.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
That's good.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
How far does something like jewel Ingo go for for
helping learn another language?

Speaker 6 (20:57):
Lilliana, Yes, absolutely, you know and do a ling fantastic,
It really helps you with vocabulary. Now there are different
things that the students can do on their own. To
be honest, realistically, if you look up in the dictionary tragedy,
you can find a lot of vocabulary. You can sort
of read about the grammatical rules. But we teachers help

(21:21):
you to put all the dots together.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
That's the thing. It's only a little bits and places
and phrases. One thing it is, it is. It is
very insistent that you do it every day, to the
point of dare I say it bullying you on your
phone to do your Spanish so that you can span
your Now, I know you wouldn't. You wouldn't bully, but

(21:45):
you will. You will push me as well, won't you.

Speaker 6 (21:49):
Well, to be honest, one of the most successful students,
you know, they really dedicate some time. They have to
have a goal, they have to have inspirations. So here
we are, you know, to always help them with staying
in track and always reminding them of what is your goal?
You know, why? What is your why? What do you

(22:10):
want to learn? And just keep things fun and entertain
and for them as well, because to be honest, sometimes
when you are doing this and your own it can
be a little bit boring. You are, so here we
are to help you through the process and to just
keep you motivated.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Russell does have a goal. He'd like to be speaking
reasonably good Spanish by the end of the year. Is
that possible.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Yeah, I'd like to be able to, you know, engage
in some general small talk, maybe order order something at
a restaurant or something like that. I'll take care of this.

Speaker 6 (22:43):
Yes, yes, absolutely, that's not a problem at all. We
have plenty of time, to be honest, when you think
about it, oh it's one month, two months, it's not
enough time, but you will be surprised how much you
can actually learn in this period of time. So we
can definitely help you here. And obviously you know, we
will concentrate on things that you can't say in a

(23:03):
real life situation, because often when you have a look
at the books and all this other material, it may
not be the best way of fast tracking your learning.
So this is why we are here to help you
with this process and we can definitely definitely make some
serious progress.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Were retired to help you with this, Leanna, what's the
hardest part of Spanish learning Spanish for people to learn is,
for example, the rolling beyond or the because that's important.

Speaker 5 (23:38):
Well, it is.

Speaker 6 (23:39):
I mean it is, but to be honest, it's not
the end of the world. You cannot do it, you know,
as a the way we do it. But it's definitely
one of the things that you know, English speakers struggle with.
I will say, there are other things that we don't
have in English grammar, for example, we don't have in

(24:01):
English we have to be in Spanish we have said
and start and this can be a little bit confusing
for a students sometimes then yes, yes, yes, but again
we're playing what the differences are more. Yes, we have
things like the masculine and the feminine.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
For now, yeah, this is what gets made. This is
the language, this is.

Speaker 6 (24:27):
The law and the l Right, well, you know there
is always like an option for or this is a
masculine object, this is a feminine so we we we
explain this again in class, you know, but in English
and everything is pretty much neutral, so you we don't
have that. Yes, and there are other bits of pieces,
you know, like we have what we call the false friends.

(24:49):
So it's referring to words that sounds similar to English
and Spanish, but they mean completely different things. So for example,
in English you can say embarrassed, and in Spanish to
say that's embarrassada. But the barrassada means pregnant in the Spanish.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Oh, you don't want to Max, You're going to be
embarrassada if you say that. When do you think we'd
be able to start classes with him?

Speaker 6 (25:18):
We can study in October.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
No, you're going to help wrestle in Spanish. But what
other languages are on offer at the Multicultural Language Center?

Speaker 6 (25:33):
Yeah, definitely. We also teach French and Italian and we
have been doing this for around fifteen years. Our main
center is in Subiaco, but we also have a school
in Matloli and in Carawa.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Good all the Romance languages, all the beautiful, all the
lovely tour through europe languages. Yeah, what have you set
for a kenticky tour?

Speaker 1 (25:56):
I think I'm a bit past Kenticky.

Speaker 6 (25:59):
Thank you anyway, Well, I'm I'm excited to stablish, you know,
this exciting journey.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
I am. I am excited to learn because Spanish has
always been a language, and I did travel a little
bit and I used the odd word here and there,
but just not enough. And I want to I want
to expand on that.

Speaker 6 (26:16):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
I'll look forward to getting the progress reports as you
go along, Liliana, thank you so much.

Speaker 6 (26:23):
It is my absolute pleasure. Guys, I'm really looking forward
to this Russell.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
I will be seeing you not you will be very soon.
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (26:32):
It's my pleasure. A fantastic day.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
And for more information on the Multicultural Language Center in
Subiaco and the types of languages and lessons they teach.
Had two language classes perth dot com dot au school
holidays coming up and as always, there is some great
stuff happening at Barking Gecko. Ryan Taff is the CEO
of Barking Gecko Arts and he's joining us this morning.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Good morning, that's right. I need all the help I
can get to learn Spanish, but I won't be any
help to you. But it's not about barking Spanish this morning.
It's about Barking Gecko, which is perfect.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
It's been more than thirty five spectacular years now. But
for those who have been living under a rock, tell
us about Barking Gecko Arts.

Speaker 7 (27:20):
Certainly so as you as you have said thirty five
years of being Barking Gecko. In nineteen ninety six, Awesome
Arts Festival was born from Barking Gecko and then this
year we decided we'd bring them back together. So hence
we're now barking Gecko Theater Company anymore, and also Arts Australia.
We're barking Gecko Arts. Two great companies come together, but
we we make work across art forms for children from

(27:43):
zero to twenty one all the way in there, exposing
kids to creativity because we know that's the most important
skill that we'll need in the future is creativity.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
I feel like kids have never needed it more more
that confidence that comes from a class.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Like this completely.

Speaker 7 (28:03):
We know that it helps kids connect. We know that
one in five kids in Australia are reporting feeling lonely.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
So social skills, yes.

Speaker 7 (28:10):
Social skills, problem solving, collaboration. They've done studies in the
UK where kids are exposed to creativity are more likely
to graduate, get jobs, be employed.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
Well.

Speaker 7 (28:22):
Economic Forum and UNESCO are saying it'll be the third
most needed skill for employment in the future yep. And
that it helps kids imagination and creativity and play helps
kids make sense of the world around.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
So we're at a critical point, we really really are.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
And instead of instead of kids watching other people's creativity,
it's about learning how to make their own and It's
okay to enjoy other people's creativity on a screen or whatever,
but not all the time learning to make your own.
That's right.

Speaker 7 (28:53):
And you know, even if you don't use it to
become an actor and actress, musician and designer, you use
it in your every.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Day absolutely, absolutely, no.

Speaker 7 (29:01):
There's you know, the big story that they told that
I remember at a conference was when they went on
to map certain viruses, they gave it to gamers because
the virus has moved too fast. Gamers came in, yeah,
and mapped it. So anything that kind of allows them
to problem solve or imagine a world that they want
to live in. You know, as we move into this

(29:22):
future of unknowns, there's a lot of questions that kids
have and using their imagination and creativity and building that
world for themselves is probably the best way forward that
we know that we can have Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Well access and inspire the program.

Speaker 7 (29:35):
New programs, new program Yeah programs, because what we what
we realize is that people are doing it tough at
the moment. You know, cost of living has gone up,
not a lot of spare money. Lots of schools are
making the choice between whether they have equipment or breakfast
programs or whatever, so we want to take that choice away.
We'll provide the creativity and the excursion. We're looking for

(29:57):
people who want to come and join us on that
journey of providing crea activity wherever they have, wherever people are.
We want to remove geographic barriers, financial barriers, social barriers,
transport barriers. So we're in the process of raising the
funds so that particularly schools in low xyer areas or
vulnerable areas can have a free excursion to a community,

(30:20):
to a venue in their area. At the moment, we've
got hubs in Kwanana, Calamunda and Thornley, and we use
the CBRT Center as well, so we engage those schools
in their own community and their own venues so they
have some own ownership in their community and feel sense
of belonging in their community. But for those kids that
can't afford it and parents that can't afford it, schools
that can't afford it, we don't think you should miss out.

(30:41):
So we're going to come to you in whatever form
you want us to come to and provide those creative experience.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
That's great because I mean school holidays start at the
end of this week. Well aware. It's like a locomotive
steaming towards us. You guys have got the awesome festival on.
So the first week of the holidays, which is seventy
percent is free and the rest is economical, you know,

(31:08):
y thirty dollars. So what's what's happening with you as
for a week? Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 7 (31:12):
Seventy percent is free and the other thirty percent is
under thirty I think it's even under twenty five dollars.
So andy percent is also interactive and immersive, so.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
You have to be that for a week long. That's right.

Speaker 7 (31:24):
Takes over the Perth Cultural Center, or the bits we
can now because it's getting built on. But the Urban
Orchard and the State, Theitter Center and the library and
Forest Chase. There's amazing stuff. The Urban Orchard that we
normally know for fringes getting turned into a Teddy Bears
picnic area with a whole lot of stuff to do
with creativity and craft and design and textile and music.

(31:44):
There's the feet Bust to get you there. I won't
explain too much about that, but it'll get you around.
You might be onto something there. But then we've got
shows in the.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
In the State Theater Center.

Speaker 7 (31:57):
We've got reasons to stay inside, which is Barking Gos
News show Cintorium Theater doing their show Odyssey that works
for children within your adversity and disabilities, Drip Drop, which
is another thing that's a lots on.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
You know, talk about doing these things free or heavily subsidized.
Do you rely on the support of the community. How
can we help? How can people support checking.

Speaker 7 (32:27):
Out the awesome festival program on the Barking Gecko website
Arts dot com dot au. Please also try if you
can and you're in the position to your business a
philanthropist corporate and you can not everyone, can we understand that?
Please find support us link.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Help the next generation.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Well, if you're a business or corporate, it's only going
to come back to help you, Yes, exactly.

Speaker 7 (32:52):
So as little as thirty five dollars will help we
keep the bus.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
I think, I think it's just fans fantastic what you
do right danger.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
And you've been doing it for so long and not.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
No no this I think this would keep you young. Actually,
thanks so much for coming in and telling us about
this and what was that website again.

Speaker 7 (33:14):
Bucking Gecko arts dot com Today all right.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
That's where you want to go to see where you
can your kids up the that's.

Speaker 7 (33:19):
Right, and there's an accessibility guide for those who have
children who need more planning.
