Ipswich Today is on hiatus over the Christmas and New Year holiday period. New episodes return from mid-January 2025.

Very sad music industry news earlier this week with the passing of the original drummer for the Bee Gees Colin Petersen on November 18, 2024. I spoke with Colin in October 2022 before a Best of the Bee Gees show at Ipswich Civic Centre. The boy born in Kingaroy was generous with his time and loved a chat. This episode features most of that interview with Colin. May he rest in peace.
