Join Challito and Leigh this Thursday from 4pm on Cannonball on Orbital Radio - also joining them is Tara Clark.

Tara is a trained actor, accidental director, published playwright, voice over artist and one half of theatre company Two Peas, currently based in London. Career highlights include playing Darling Mae Thomas in Old 505's inaugural subscription season production, We're Bastards and playing Tanya Crawley in the Australian premier of Jez Butterworth's Jerusalem, a production which earned 7 Sydney Theatre Awards nominations. She loves nothing more than a good boiler suit (is there such thing as a bad one?) and dresses with pockets. Her favourite word is "seditious" because although it's intended as a criticism it brings to mind the early Suffragettes, and she finds that false dichotomy to be a valuable reminder. She's usually one of the last ones to get up at karaoke, but when she does you can expect Solsbury Hill or Vienna.

Join us from 4pm today - Challito and Leigh will be chatting with Kathy Luu (who will know from previous Cannonball shows) Orbital Radio.

Kathy Luu is a direct descendent of the Greek philosopher Luutonius who was the founder of The School of Delightful Thinking. Never too far away from a slice of cake, she is currently being a director, actor, social creative, writer, designer and artist. She recently appeared as the lead in the first Asian-Australian romcom feature, Rhapsody of Love and is currently working on her black comedy zombie web series as director (soon to be launched). If she was a sentient android she'd be found wandering the moors in the late afternoon rain, or fast escaping to the far ends of the galaxy with her secret human lover. But alas, she is human - a great relief to her, for we are such stuff that dreams are made on.
