The StickyBeak

In this episode of The StickyBeak, I head to Nambour, a town on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland to experience Fred Brophy’s Boxing Troupe — the last tent boxing show in the world. Part documentary, part personal adventure, this story explores the gritty history of tent boxing, Fred’s carnival upbringing, and what really happens inside a travelling boxing tent.With real audio from inside the tent and reflections from the night, this episode captures a uniquely Australian tradition that won’t be around for much longer. Take a ringside seat and step into a fading piece of Australian history. This episode was brought to you by Tüt, toilet lid stickers to zhuzh up your toot.

In the early 1980s, a strange little craze was born — not in a hospital, but in a cabbage patch. These dolls came with names, birth certificates, and adoption papers… and they sparked absolute chaos. Parents brawled in department stores, priests called them ungodly, and conspiracy theorists went wild.But behind the madness lies a story you probably haven’t heard: claims of stolen art, a soft-sculpture pioneer, and a billion-dollar empire built on a very messy beginning.This episode dives into the wild rise of the Cabbage Patch Kids — from their cult-like frenzy to the artist who may never have received the credit she deserved.Thank you to Stephania Blum from Cabbage Patch Boutique: IG - @cabbagepatchboutiqueThis episode was brought to you by Tüt, toilet lid stickers to zhuzh up your toot.

Drag queens have long owned the spotlight — from RuPaul’s Drag Race to brunches, bingos, and club nights. But there’s another side of drag that’s just as bold, creative, and culturally vital… and it’s been overlooked for far too long.This week on The StickyBeak, Monika dives into the world of Drag Kings — performers who’ve been bending gender, challenging norms, and shaping queer culture for over a century. From vaudeville to underground cabaret, punk shows to late-night clubs, kings have always been here, even if mainstream drag hasn’t made space for them.You’ll hear from three incredible drag kings as they share their journeys, their artistry, and how they’re pushing drag into the future.This episode celebrates identity, creativity, and the performers redefining what drag looks like today — whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering drag kings for the first time.HUGE thank you to...Buck Wylde : IG @buckwylde_dragkingHannibal Lickher : IG @hannibal.lickherPrinze Valentino : IG @ Prinze_valentinoThis episode was brought to you by Tüt, toilet lid stickers to zhuzh up your toot.
