The Sweetest Plum Podcast

The final show live at The Rochester. Thanks to everyone who came along, and to everyone who has ever listened, or randomly shouted one of our references at us in public. A very big Boom Boom Pow to all of you.

After 12 years, 200 episodes, and 1863 anecdotes about kids Declan grew up with in Bulleen, it's time for us to finish the podcast and head back to the family farm for good. Thanks to everyone who listened along the way. But we're going to do one last final gig at the Rochester Hotel, Saturday 27 August, at 730pm. So come along and help up go out with a Boom, Boom, Pow. This one probably will sell out, so if you can book tickets now at this link. We'll leave the podcast up for about a month so you can download any old episodes. A Boom Boom Pow. Love Dec and Nick
