When did you start listening to TBTL? How did you find the show
TBTL was recommended to me by an on-line friend about 18 months ago. I began listening and quickly found myself chewing through the back catalogue. TBTL has become an essential part of my listening week. You guys have a language that I find myself slipping into my daily conversation - not the least of which is the turn of phrase, "All that is to say..."

How would your friends describe you?
I am an intensive care nurse who is routinely described as misanthropic, cynical, coffee addled and a purveyor of gallows humour. I am also dependable, affectionate, an amateur raconteur and able to un-do any serious situation with an inappropriate joke. I'm basically a lovable arsehole.

What was your favorite cereal when you were a kid? Is it still your fav? 
I was a fan of my Mum's muesli. My Mum was not a fan of my loving her museli. I still partake of a bowl of museli from time to time.

What food do you love to eat the most of?
Salt and pepper squid.

What’s the best or worst nickname you ever had?
Deano.

If you could play one song on TBTL, what would it be?
Tiny Tim's "Tip Toe Through The Tulips.”

What’s a special skill that you have?
I am a reasonably handy sailor and I've been sailing since I was 10 years old. These days, I often sail my boat with TBTL playing on my waterproof Bluetooth speaker.

What’s a skill you *wish* you had?
I wish I had the vocal range of Freddie Mercury.

If you were driving down the street and you saw Luke and Andrew on the sidewalk, what would you yell at them as you drove past?
"I LOVED YOU IN WALL STREET!!"

Can other Tens find you on social media?
I'm on BlueSky at @deanfromaustralia.bsky.social
