Hello, welcome to Under the Skin from Loomery. I'm Russell Brant today I spoke with Tim Minchin.

Do you know who Tim Minchin is? He's the Australian comedian actor, write a musician and songwriter.

You're probably know him from his fantastic musical Mat Matilda which won a bunch of awards

including an Olivier he was nominated for a Grammy it was an amazing musical I've seen it

twice maybe even three times his musical Groundhog Day also won awards. His new album,

A Part Together, will be released on Friday the 20th of November. A Part Together.

I like that. It's a nice name for an album about this time and Tim Minchings is very very beautiful

like all like he started with sort of comedy parody songs right and I think that most people that do those things well.

It's just a good song anyway, like the Conchords or who else is it that I think about with that?

Oh, like Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

The songs are just really good anyway.

Hey, so, you'll love this conversation.

We talk about atheism, we talk about spirituality, it's quite intense.

There's points of it where it's a little wordy, I would say, but also there's a I would hope a sense of fraternity

and warmth because certainly that's what I feel of him I think he's a

incredibly accomplished and beautiful person here's some comments from a previous podcast which I say to you I

suppose to encourage you to listen to other podcasts of mine obviously and I suppose I don't know it's

like I'm boosting myself up this one's from the

I'm Varypharkas podcast did you enjoy that Jen yeah I like he honest why he's very

grounded and direct do you see him as a sort of shaven-headed uncle? No. Why? He doesn't remind me of my uncle.

He doesn't want to remind you of an uncle, but imagine putting him in as a new uncle. He doesn't want to remind you of an uncle but imagine putting him in there's a new uncle.

You be a good uncle. Imagine there's transfer market for uncles and you could just buy in. Right,
