Recorded on the weekend of 10-11 December 2016, this podcast features audio from the opening of The Phantom Art Show at the Tweed Regional Gallery in Murwillumbah, NSW. ChronicleChamber was lucky enough to attend the official opening on Saturday evening to record the first part of the podcast, where former Governor-General of Australia Dame Quentin Bryce and her husband Michael spoke about their experiences with the Phantom, and his impact on readers of all generations. You can read our full report of the evening or watch the Bryce's speeches on our YouTube channel. The second part of the podcast is a recording from Sunday morning, the discussion we had with co-curator of the exhibition Peter Kingston.

In his recent appearance on the X-Band podcast, Sammy J made huge claims about the extent of his phandom and the size of his collection of late-90's Phantom related newspaper clippings. Turns out he can back this up, as the gallery below can attest! Clearly the period from 1996 (film release) to 1999 (Falk's death) was a golden time for Phantom news in the mainstream media. Huge thanks to Sammy J for taking the time and effort to digitise these and share them with all of us. #SammyJ #XBand #Podcast

In this episode Jermayn, Steve and Dan interview Phamous Phan, Sammy J, which was made possible by their mutual mate, Duncan. Sammy embraces his inner Phantom nerd and tells many a story about his life with the Phantom, one in particular is quite moving, whereas others, as you would expect, are quite humorous. Sammy J also gets a few gratuitous plugs in for his upcoming show at the Melbourne Fringe Festival, Hero Complex, which will be running in September. Evidence of a long-term Phantom association between Duncan and Sam: Sammy J refers to this letter in the podcast: #SammyJ #XBand #Podcast #HeroComplex
