The Tamp Podcast
Honest conversations over an empty café table — long after the last flat white.
Each episode, host Dorian Needs sits down with remarkable guests from all walks of life — business, sport, the arts, and beyond — to talk about the grit behind the glory. No scripts. No filters. Just the stories, setbacks and insights that rarely get told.
Real people. Real talk. Recorded after hours at Tamp Coffee.
