During Summer Nightlife, Tim Webster will call on our fantastic Political Reporters around the country to find out what were the top stories to come out of their states and cities for the year 2024. Today: Jack McKay, Political Reporter at ABC Brisbane.

Derek Lacey is a former medical researcher who, while spending time as a stay-at-home dad, had a "Eureka!" moment that led to the creation of Melbourne-based Bluestone Yeast. The business launched in 2018, providing local liquid yeasts for brewers, and has been growing ever since to the point that, at time of writing, Derek and his team are putting the finishing touches to a new, far larger production facility. Given said facility is around 800m from Crafty Towers, we felt it was the ideal time to invite him onto the show. He joined us in the studio for a chat about how he came to swap medical research for his new career, the challenges and triumphs he and the brewers he works with have experienced along the way, what it's like operating as a small indie producer supplying craft brewers and those making beer in their homes, his future plans to diversify, and the lessons learned along the way. As someone who was born in Ireland, albeit having moved to Australia as a child, he has the gift of the gab and shares as many stories as he does insight on life at a yeast manufacturing business. In the intro to this episode, we also discuss the latest news, including new openings and the ongoing travails of some local businesses.

Australian firefighters are battling intense bushfires in Queensland and New South Wales, where the conditions are so severe they are focusing on saving lives, rather than properties. Authorities confirmed on Tuesday that more than 50 homes, and 30 sheds, had been destroyed in the area around the Queensland town of Tara - about 300-kilometres inland from Brisbane. Australia's prime minister Anthony Albanese visited another fire-affected area - Bundaberg, on the coast further north - saying the government was expecting about 42,000 claims as a result of the fires so far, and more crews would be coming in to help. ABC Brisbane reporter Michael Rennie spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

In this episode, I speak with Emeritus Professor, Roly Sussex who has been the presenter of ABC Brisbane's long running program "A Word in Your Ear." He has studied and researched language for many decades and today he shares his significant insights into our use of language and how it relates to our perception of death. Roly explains how language and the visual representations we create of death contribute to what he says has probably become the most negative concept in the English language.

Can a smart speaker replace a kitchen radio?   Last week, a small fluffy bundle arrived in our house. We now have a small puppy - she’s lovely, thank you - and the effect to my radio listening has been interesting.   Next to the sofa was a jumble of wires - something to charge an iPad, some USB-C connectors to charge laptops and mobile phones, and a different USB connector to charge an ebook reader and, oh god, my doorbell, I have a wifi doorbell, it needs charging every so often, heaven help me, what has happened.   Anyway, you’re probably well ahead of me: but for some reason, wires and puppies seem to have a fatal attraction for one another, so after seeing at least one of those cables being chewed and ruined, the charging station is in the much less satisfactory location of the kitchen.   Like any normal household, we don’t have enough plug sockets. I could unplug the microwave, but that would be foolish, so instead, I unplugged the only other thing I could unplug: the radio. Yes, the radio is gone. And this receiver is the one I use most often (particularly now, given puppy’s little bladder means she gets us up at 5.45am).   In the radio’s place, in one of the six USB ports that I now have available, is a little Google Home mini speaker. It is this that I’m now having to use as a radio.   This has been interesting. Instead of the 60-odd stations available to me on DAB+ in Brisbane, I now have probably a hundred thousand to choose from; and many more podcasts, too.   My listening habits have changed - but probably not in the way you think.   I’m still listening to my local public radio station, ABC Radio Brisbane, given it’s got decent local news and I recognise the voices there. I ask “Hey, Google, listen to ABC Radio Brisbane” and it responds that it’s playing “Six hundred and twelve ABC Brisbane”, which ought to be “six-twelve ABC Brisbane”, except this branding was dropped 20 months ago. It works, though.   But I’m also listening much more to my local community music radio station, 4ZZZ. This station doesn’t broadcast on DAB+ here in Brisbane, and so I listened very rarely to it. Being on the level playing field of the internet, however, I’m remembering to ask for it rather more often. “Listen to 4-zee-zee-zee” is the strange incantation that I have to use: the station’s branding of “four-triple-zed” doesn’t work, of course.   I’m also listening to on-demand news (which, I might point out, can now include “Podnews podcasting news”, my daily news service, on both Google and Alexa speakers). But no, I’m not listening to any overseas radio. (Few people ever do, says the research).   There’s no doubt that smart speakers are being used more than ever to listen to the radio, and that’s good news for the industry. I’ve certainly discovered that it is a very viable replacement for a kitchen radio. But it’s been interesting how it’s changed my radio habits, too - rediscovering a radio station on an inconvenient waveband, and hearing a bit more on-demand content, too.   Checking how your station is presented on these speakers is probably a good idea. I’m not of the opinion that you need “a skill” necessarily; but you certainly need to ensure that the service works as you’d expect, and with the spoken brand you’re using on-air. Both a Google Home Mini and an Amazon Echo Dot are very cheap to buy, and you probably ought to. Support the show.

But then, like the Almighty Zarquon at Milliway's (a Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference) Peter appeared - just in time - at the very end of the show! Today, the difference between bacn and spam, why you should never leave voicemail message and the most successful colour for dating site profile pictures."
