Jimmy has twice appeared on the Joseph (Josh) Szeps podcast (here) and now he’s back for a 3^rd time. 84 minutes long and on YouTube, below.

Josh is Australian and Jimmy has dropped into the studio for a chat. It was mentioned that is was after Anzac Day (April 25^th 2026) so the recording could have been May 3^rd or 4^th (when Jimmy arrived in Sydney for gigs).
