Very few people leave the bright lights of a major city, come to the red centre and embrace the culture, people and lifestyle, Dan Donaldson is not one of those people.

Another great Alice Springs local joins The ASP with DT for episode 14 as Robyn Liddle shares some stories about her life and the way she sees our town and the world. Robyn is a STRONG woman and a great mother who speaks so beautifully about her experiences of parenting and the importance of self care!We also chat about her journey to becoming Indigenous Marathon Project Graduate  number 107 in 2020 and the emotional and physical challenges involved with endurance sports. Robyn was and still is a vital cog in her local E-Girls football team and Pioneers club and reflects on leadership and what made them such a dominant side.Robyn is a genuine, honest person and someone I have so much respect for, was great to catch up and have her as guest number 14 on the ASP with DT. Thanks for listening.

What a human!! Incredibly honored to be joined on The ASP with DT by none other than Alice Springs legend Phil Ballard. Phil lives life the right way, he's a very generous and kind person who is happy to help anyone, anytime, however he can. We chat about life growing up in the Alice, his upbringing as a 'free range kid' from Ilparpa way and some ripping times while at school. Phil is currently in Adelaide receiving treatment for a form of cancer which unfortunately has returned after being knocked on the head late last year. The way Phil talks about his current situation is absolutely inspiring and the fact he is so willing and ready to talk about it to help others is incredible.I hope that in some little way I did this great man some justice as he really is one of the best! Have a listen and get around one of Alices finest, Phil Ballard
