Taking fluid jazz, soul, R&B, pop and classical forms and injecting them into more modern moulds, Jessie’s mellifluous vocal performances, while always engaging – and often stunning – in their delivery never abandon vulnerability and authentic emotional connection.

Episode 3: Civic and Cultural Space
Thursday Jan 14, 2021
Thursday Jan 14, 2021
Fed Square’s opening marked the end of some controversies, but when one door closes many others others open. Between the public’s first reactions to Fed Square’s architecture, challenges in activating the space sustainably, the Apple Store plan and its final embrace as one of the youngest Heritage-listed spaces in the world, Fed Square has come a long way in its short two decades.
Listen to this episode of Anything But Square and learn how Fed Square rose from mixed public opinion to become the beloved jewel in Melbourne’s cultural and civic crown.

Episode 2: Architecture from Outer Space

Wednesday Jan 13, 2021
A project of such size and scope attracts controversy like seagulls to hot chips. With such a tremendous number of cooks stirring the pot on all sides – from government to the private sector, the general public and more – how did Fed Square ever even get off the ground?
In this episode, we uncover how architects Donald Bates and Peter Davidson deftly maneuverered through a feeding frenzy of stakeholders to create a space as innovative as it is ingenious.

Episode 1: Connection with the Yarra
Tuesday Jan 12, 2021
Tuesday Jan 12, 2021
Did you know Melbourne was deliberately designed without a public square, so as to prevent the spirit of democracy from arising? So much for that. In 1996, it was decided that Melbourne’s first and much-needed true public square would be developed, in order to link the city to the Yarra and provide a central gathering space for cultural events and quiet enjoyment alike.
Listen to this episode of Anything But Square and learn the controversy and ingenuity of how Fed Square became what it is today.
