Aussie music icon Paul Kelly joins Matho for a candid conversation about the songs that have shaped generations, and what it’s like to keep performing them decades later.

From the idea that his songs now belong just as much to the audience as they do to him, to the memories of the people and moments carried within them, Paul reflects on a career that continues to evolve.

He also shares what keeps him touring, the joy of playing alongside long-time friends, and what fans in regional Australia can expect from the Red Hot Summer Tour — including his return to Dubbo for the first time in years (and his first show back after injury).

It’s a relaxed, honest chat with one of Australia’s most respected storytellers in music.

In this urgent and informative episode, I speak with a spokesperson from Australian Red Cross Lifeblood about their national callout for blood donors—especially those with O positive, O negative, A positive, and A negative blood types. As we head into winter, Lifeblood is experiencing the lowest O-type levels since 2023, and now A-type donations are also in high demand.

We discuss why O and A blood types are the most frequently used in hospitals, their role in emergency and trauma care, and why donations are so critical right now. With an extra 9,500 O-type donations needed this week alone, and growing concern for A-type stocks, your support has never been more vital.

🩸 In this episode:

• Why O negative is the universal blood type used in emergencies

• How A-type donors are urgently needed to support ongoing care

• What first-time donors can expect

• Why just one hour of your time could help save multiple lives

Whether you’re a regular donor or considering your first visit, this episode will inspire you to take action and give the gift of life.
