AC, full-time doctor, part-time musician, is the very special guest on The Full Circle this week, and when combined with DC, you get the very unique sounding ACDC! Anyone else calling themselves this or similar are just cheap imitators!*

These are the two charts we compared if you're interested - let us know in the comments which you think is better:

2025: https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart/20250926/7501/

Dale Tanner is the incredible frontman of the Aussie band Ocean Grove, who released their incredible 4th album Oddworld, marking a shift back to their Nu Metal roots and are coming to the EU & UK in October & November 2025 for some epic live shows with Thornhill!

You can buy tickets here: https://oceangrove.tv/

They begin in Germany on Oct 17th and tour all around Mainland Europe, before arriving to the UK on Nov 4th and finishing in London on Nov 9th!

It was an absolute honour to have Dale on the show; I have loved Ocean Grove for many years now, they make amazing music and are incredible live, so please do get tickets if you are able to, because you will not regret it!

Playlist for Dale's Full Circle songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6zUkhkTGKYZgOoO6bqbwm0?si=YKvEtCHTR0mYHJy5D_5ogQ

Songs ranged from Ocean Grove to Limp Bizkit!

On the show:

Dale shared a fun fact never shared elsewhere! He answered some tough Would You Rather questions; including whether he's a Vegemite (Aussie Marmite equivalent) lover of hater, he shared some of his Favourites, played a fun quiz called "Odd, but not Oddworld"; it's probably best to just hear it rather than me trying to explain it haha, but it allowed us to reflect on all of Ocean Grove's albums, and he spoke very candidly about this mental health, including his own experiences and how he has organised an Aussie Music Festival called Fully AMTD which has just announced its 3rd installment, focussing on mental health support in Australia!

Tickets for this are available here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/fully-amtd-2025-tickets-1727381718219

Thank you to Dale for being such an incredible guest on the show, and thanks to each and every one of you for the ongoing support!

What was I thinking? I thought it would be an incredible idea to do a show straight after I finish a set of night shifts. 100% would not recommend (doing a show this way of course! 100% recommend listening obvs).

On the show:

I answer some tough Would You Rather questions, choosing which bands I would prefer to see live - I think the hardest one was between Bring Me The Horizon or Enter Shikari!

The return of the food challenge! Was I able to break the world record of most marshmellows caught by mouth in one minute?

I also answer some basic medical questions - was my knowledge compromised after finishing a night shift, or was it A-OK?

You can test your basic medical knowledge here: https://www.buzzfeed.com/audreyworboys/medical-trivia-quiz - comment how well you did!

And of course, The Full Circle, with songs chosen that are a little more chill in keeping with finishing nights, ranging from Ed Sheeran to Panic! At The Disco!
