From downtown uptown intown Toowoomba, the epicentre for the Darling Downs Radio Club. Right off the bat comes the important action item. If your watch tells you that today is Sunday 7 June, then hot-foot down to Bunnings Toowoomba North in Ruthven Street and help us make our BBQ fundraiser a brilliant success. We're there from now until 1530, and our sausage sangers are way more edible than RG8. Hi - I'm John VK4JPM Secretary of the Club, and I'm here to invite you to COME ON DOWN because THE PRICE IS RIGHT! Seriously, your warm body at Bunnings can help us in at least three different ways: we might still need a person or two to help with the roster. Hard to tell right now because QNEWS is filed days ago. But look, a bit of extra help never hurt. we definitely want you to buy a sausage sanger or two, and the price IS right! * when you turn up, you can smile and help tell everyone what a great club the Darling Downs Radio Club is. There's nothing like a personal recommendation. Sunday 7 June from 0800-1530 local time, which is most likely today if you're listening to the morning live broadcast. Tomorrow night is our club meeting, and we're doing something both important and special. Firstly, we're meeting at the Guide Hut in Harristown. Hut makes it sound way smaller than it really is. This is a bit of a test and we'd like your input. Three important items on the agenda for the meeting 1. we're bringing some of the stuff that has been gathered, and we'll be selling it on the night. There will be a couple of pretty good ICOM transceivers, some mixed electronics, cables, and whatever else we pull out of the storage space. Plus you can bring your own gear to add to the sales effort. 2. it's time we had a discussion about future plans for the club. All good, but your committee thinks it would be helpful to have a one, two, five and ten year outlook so that we can make strategic decisions on your behalf. What do you think the club should look like in five years? What activities would we regularly be doing? Is the monthly meeting format the right way to go? What education and training should the club deliver, and how often? What would your ideal meeting topic be? These and more questions need answers, and it's your club so we can go in any direction that you can support. and 3. bring along your latest toys for show-and-tell. Always fun. We'll have tea, coffee, timtams, and lots of good cheer. It's at the Guide Hut at 18A Memory Street in Harristown, with tons of parking. And if your street memory isn't so good, check out all the details at the website: ddrci.org.au and click through the calendar entry for the meeting. VK4RDD is located southeast of Toowoomba on a high spot. Output frequency 146.750 with -600kHz transmit offset and no tone (although CTCSS won't hurt). This is Kevin VK4UH. With Glenn VK4GMI I am the manager for the Harry Angel Memorial 80m Sprint. The “Harry Angel” is an annual 80m contest event, first established in 1999, to commemorate the life of Harry VK4HA who at the time of his becoming a Silent Key, at the age of 106, was the oldest licensed amateur in Australia. The contest has three sections, Phone, CW and Mixed. Certificates are awarded to the three top-scoring entries in each section. Place winners are also eligible to claim points towards the WIA Peter Brown Contest Champion Trophy. This year 36 logs were received which represents a consistent participation rate over recent years. This is particularly gratifying as this year's contest clashed with the WIA AGM and Conference in Albury and a number of other significant sporting events on the same weekend..

The girls have had an extraordinary impact on Australian racing in recent years. A current emerging talent is twenty five year old Coriah Keatings who just recently won her first race at black type level. Coriah, apprenticed to Nick Olive at Canberra has a very impressive 135 wins on  the board after just four years of race riding.  Born and reared on her family's farm just outside Albury, Coriah was in the saddle at a very early age and went on to become highly successful in many equestrian pursuits. Her entry into the racing industry happened almost by accident.This is an absorbing chat with a country girl who would have excelled in any one of several sports, but her innate love of horses influenced her decision to become a jockey. Coriah says she's still on cloud nine after winning her first stakes race on Spicy Lu at Eagle Farm. The young jockey explains the origins of her intriguing given name.  Coriah says her early passion for horses was encouraged by mother Kerrin, herself an avid horse lover. She says her father Craig had little interest in racing, but has become one of her staunchest fans. Coriah joined pony club at four years of age and was still heavily involved into her late teens. The 25 year old says she had little difficulty with academic studies but much preferred school sporting activities. The young jockey was all set to enrol for a university course when Covid got in the way. She earned some pocket money at a Zambrero Restaurant in Albury. At the suggestion of a friend Coriah made enquiries about a job with former successful jockey Jodi Bohr who was training horses in Albury at the time.  She openly admits to being all at sea when she began riding trackwork. Coriah looks back on two other jobs she undertook, one in hospitality the other in retail.  At one stage she was working both jobs at the same time. She recalls an invitation from leading Albury trainer Ron Stubbs to join his team. Coriah says Ron wasn't in the position to offer her an apprenticeship, but knew of another trainer who was. She looks back on a very happy stint with Donna Scott who became a valued tutor and friend. Coriah looks back on her first race ride. She finished second but believes she should have won. She got the shock of her life after passing the post. She was delighted to win her first race on a horse trained by Donna Scott. Coriah looks back on a relocation to Canberra and the transfer of her indentures to her current boss Nick Olive. The jockey talks of her partner Matthew Kelly, a young Canberra trainer who's beginning to make his mark. Coriah pays tribute to some of the horses who've kick started her riding career with special mention of the Nick Olive trained mare she regards as her favourite to this point in time. She says there's one member of the Olive team she's “busting” to win a race on.  Coriah speaks fondly of talented mare All Adore and makes mention of two other metropolitan winners she's ridden for Canberra trainers.  She talks of her versatility in being able to use the whip in either hand. Coriah agrees she's on the tall side as jockeys go, but appreciates the luxury of being able to ride on the limit weight. She clearly remembers two occasions when she came away from the races with winning trebles, one at Cowra and the other at Canberra. It's a nice chat with one of the rising stars of the female riding ranks.

In this episode of the Better with Running podcast, hosts Chris Armstrong and Zacca Newman open the show by breaking down their recent performances at the Albert Park 5km. Zacca celebrates a successful return to the racing scene with a sharp 16:25, while Chris reflects on a consistent string of improvements. Despite a 5:00 AM start and a chaotic, aggressive opening 400 meters, Chris clocked a 17:45—a significant jump from his recent outings in Albury and Bendigo. The spotlight then shifts to the newest addition to the Run2PB coaching ranks, Nikki Curry. With a background as a Physiotherapist and a mother of two, Nikki brings a unique blend of clinical expertise and lived experience to the team. She shares her journey of growing up in a running-centric household and later rediscovering her passion for the sport after starting a family. Her recent results speak for themselves, highlighted by a massive performance leap that saw her move from a 2:54 marathoner to an elite 2:41 personal best, culminating in a 6th-place finish at the 2025 Melbourne Marathon.As a coach, Nikki details how her elite-level experience and medical background allow her to communicate effectively with athletes facing setbacks or injuries. Nikki's philosophy is rooted in helping runners of all levels unlock their potential through structured coaching, a journey she knows firsthand is made easier with the right support system and a bit of fun along the way.The episode wraps up with a signature quick-fire round, offering a lighter look at Nikki's life outside of the sport. From her current shoe rotation and"soundtrack of her life" plus her preferred way to eat a potato, listeners get a full picture of the person behind the 2:41 marathon time. Whether you are a parent balancing training with a career or a runner looking to shave minutes off your PB, this episode provides a blueprint for finding balance and high performance in equal measure.For more Coaching details: https://www.run2pb.co/coach-nikki

On Saturday, the right wing party won a lower house seat for the first time as voters registered their fury in the New South Wales Farrer byelection. And while newly elected MP David Farley may have been on the ticket, many are saying this is very much Pauline Hanson's victory. Senior correspondent Sarah Martin and political reporter Sarah Basford Canales speak to Reged Ahmad from Albury the morning after the seismic result.

Joining the show from the ground in Albury, Federal Politics Editor Michael Pachi describes the scene as One Nation's Farley secured nearly 40% of the primary vote.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is Allan VK4HIT with news from Ipswich and District Radio Club. The club is currently seeking expressions of interest from Foundation amateurs or those who don't yet have a license but might just want to jump straight into it; for an upcoming Standard license training course in the Ipswich and West Moreton region. The course will be held at the Ipswich & District Radio Club with a tentative start date of Wednesday 20th May, with the course running over about five Wednesday nights with a sixth night focused mainly on Standard & Advanced regulations. If you or anyone you know is interested, please contact our training officer Greg via email VK4GJW@gmail.com or you can find out more via our website ipswichradioclub.org.au Club member Robert VK4KHW has reminded me about two big horse endurance events which Brisbane Area Wicen Group is providing safety communications. Details are:- This event is held at the Kilkivan Showgrounds and Equestrian Centre. Dates are Saturday 16th May 2026 and Sunday 17th May 2026. The other big event is called the Tom Quilty Gold Cup, being run out of the Stirlings Crossing Equestrian Complex, Imbil. Dates are 4th & 5th July 2026. The event runs for 24 hours. Robert will be asking for volunteers for Imbil after the Kilkivan event. Contact Robert via email rwilling65@gmail.com It's Sunday 10 May, and only a week away from the last chance this year to use the AX Prefix with your call. Hi, I'm John VK4JPM, Secretary of the Darling Downs Radio Club, and here's our bit of QNEWS for the coming week. And starting with our meeting to be held tomorrow night, on Monday 11 May. Last weekend in Albury we made contact with an ADSB Support, an organisation that is creating a network of receivers to map plane movements in a different way. They are also doing some work that is directly of interest to ham radio operators. We thought that was too good an opportunity to leave hanging, and they have agreed to be our special guests at the meeting. Their global tech support manager, Guy Martin will be joining us from Denmark to explain how the network operates, what it does, and how maybe you could be involved as host of a receive point. Check the website for details. If you're not in town, or simply out of town, then you can attend remotely via Zoom and we'd love to have you. You don't need to be a member to join us. But if you do come to the Scout Hall in person, rest assured that we'll have tea, coffee and timtams ready to greet you. A couple of dates for the future: * lock in 7 June, which is just a month away, when we will be doing some much needed fundraising at Bunnings. If you can spare some time on the day - a couple of hours would do it - then could you let me know via the email address secretary@ddrci.org.au. * it's way into the future, but lock it in now: on the weekend of 7/8 November, the Radio and Electronics Association of Southern Tasmania will be running Ham-E-Con. This will be a similar but different event to QTECH that you might have attended last year in Brisbane. It's in Hobart, so already it's different! You can link details from our website at ddrci.org.au, and even though it's a while off maybe you want to book the travel this week while there are some specials on? This week's entry in the 52 week ham challenge: Build the cheapest antenna you can and make a QSO with it. We're not sure what counts as cheap. You have to buy metal coat-hangers these days, but an old 2m mobile base screwed into a tin can would be pretty and cheap, so pretty cheap. The website is at hamchallenge.org and right now nobody has logged a toot. I'm John VK4JPM, Secretary of the Darling Downs Radio Club.

What does it look like to build a life around conviction, doubt, and compassion - all at once?In this episode of The Journey, Father Peter MacLeod Miller shares a path that moves from Sydney's cathedral world, to working with homeless communities across the city and the outback, and eventually to becoming Rector at St Matthew's Anglican Church in Albury.But this isn't simply a story about ministry or church leadership. It's a conversation about questioning institutions from the inside, confronting the realities of human suffering, and continually reshaping what faith and service mean in a modern world.From studying law while being drawn to the beauty of cathedral music, to working in some of Australia's most vulnerable communities, Father Peter's journey is anything but conventional.What stands out most is his focus on people over systems - and compassion over certainty.It's an episode that invites you to reflect on belief, authority, and whether institutions truly serve the people they're built for.⭐ If you enjoyed this episode, please follow, share or leave a review - it helps more people discover these stories.Proudly brought to you by BMG & 1494 2AY.

Barrie Cassidy gives his take on the mood in Farrer after moderating a debate with the candidates in Albury, while Tony Barry raises new statistics that show India has overcome England as Australia's leading overseas country of birth and asks why so many politicians fail to understand Australia today.

News of a Silent Key Brian Winterburn VK4BOW 15th August 1944 - 21st April 2026 Sad to report that one of the founding members of the Bowen Radio Amateur Group went Silent Key April 21 , 2026 Brian passed away on Tuesday 21st April after a long fight with kidney disease.. Brian was an accomplished Morse Code Operator, yachtsman, musician and technician, helping establish the Gem of the Coral Coast, 95.1MHz GEM FM and maintaining the systems of the broadcaster until ill health curtailed the activity. For a number of years Brian was a regular operator on the 3599kHz Gnarly Net and was also a former member of the Townsville Amateur Radio Club. The Amateur Radio community in Bowen, indeed in North East Queensland is measurably poorer with Brian's passing. Vale Brian Winterburn VK4BOW, Silent Key Hi there: coming from the Darling Downs Radio Club, this is our QNEWS segment for 3 May 2026, and it's the heading-to-WIA edition. I'm John VK4JPM secretary of the DDRCi. By the time you hear this, the WIA AGM will be over; we've had a great dinner, and everyone who is in Albury will be enjoying the VK Summit 2026 geekfest with presentations and hardware - a perfect match for a weekend. First up, our club's big news. If you haven't already discovered, the results are out for the 2026 John Moyle Memorial Field Day... and if you haven't found them, go to the WIA website (wia.org.au); find "for Members" at the top, then contests, and finally on the left: John Moyle Memorial Field Day. Then scroll down to the bottom. There's a report and winners document, and a file with certificates for winners. And I have to say, what a wonderful rollup it was, and congratulations to all the winners across so many categories. I'm in awe of VK3GJG who blitzed 46,842 points across a single operator home 24 hour effort, and I suspect he achieved that by supergluing himself to the chair. So how did our club go? It's time for a big smile, because we did pretty well. Despite crashing QRN, on-off rain, and a last minute discovery that the amenities block had been fenced off - I mean, what could possibly go wrong? - for the second year running we managed to pull off a convincing win in our category - which was the HF Multi-Multi 6 hour. And there was lots of learning from the effort; we ran a licence assessment, and several of our participants were contesting for the first time. As they say, We'll Be Back. The 52-week challenge at hamchallenge.org is up to week 19... and this one's really creative. They want YOU to come up with a ham radio challenge and share it with the organisers. Our team here thought maybe there's a way to establish over-the-horizon communication using a bratwurst sausage and a can of tuna. Can you make a morse key using inkjet printer parts? Or how about building a short wave receiver from tin-cans, homegrown crystal, and discarded car batteries? It worked for Hogan's Heroes and Gilligan... are their plans still around? Do a bit of thinking and get back to the team. hamchallenge.org for the website. Finally, if you're not a member of DDRCi and you join now, you will get a bonus two months of membership because new memberships go through to end of June 2027. Go to the website and click on the big red button to join, and - trust me on this - everything you need to know and do is online in the website. If it's not: tell us. We might even give you a discount for pointing out a problem.

Howdy-doody. You're possibly expecting the Darling Downs Radio Club QNEWS segment for the week of 26 April, and this would be it. Thanks for listening, and coming up some reminders: next weekend is big activity in Albury activity; we will be there and I'd love to have a chat to committee members from other clubs. now that ANZAC day is over, the last AX prefix opportunity for the year is four weeks away today is club lunch day, and we'd love you to join us whether you're a member of DDRCi or not and if it's still morning, then the club 2m net starts at the top of the hour and you're invited to that too Firstly a note to people from other Queensland clubs. The WIA AGM is next weekend in Albury, and you will have heard all about it on National News. Some of us are heading down because we can and should, which is going to create an opportunity between clubs to exchange ideas about how we run our hobby. If you're in Albury next weekend, please find me. I'll be wearing club clobber with my name and callsign, so I won't be hard to find. Lots to discuss. If you're coming and you'd like to set something up, drop a line to secretary@ddrci.org.au as an alert. Last week's club meeting on the topic of FreeDV exceeded every expectation. Thanks to everyone in the room, to all those who came along virtually, and to other clubs who spread the word. Peter VK3TPM provided an incredibly good insight into the project, with some very compelling demos of how well the coder works. He's also give a list of tips and tools to help you get started, and those appear in the text edition of this QNEWS bulletin. We're going to keep an eye on the project and bring you updates from time to time, and it will be the subject of future meetings. If it's Sunday morning, then after QNEWS, and after the club 2m net, we're off to the Southern Hotel in Toowoomba for our informal come-and-have-lots-of-fun bimonthly club lunch. Check the Fire and Ice cafe, and there will be a table reserved for the club. All the detail is on the website at ddrci.org.au, and we kick off sometime after 1130. Family, friends, harmonics, bits of gear, and tall tales are all welcome. We'll probably hang around until 1500 so there's no rush, and food is available all day. There's still a moment to RSVP to lunch@ddrci.org.au, but that's only so that we can ensure we have a big enough table. Nobody gets locked out. This also fits nicely with this week's ham challenge, which is to get together with others for an in person radio activity - the lunch qualifies, and I noticed that the website has zero toots against the challenge. So there's an opportunity. We're coming into week 18, for which the challenge is "Complete a project no matter how big or small and write it up". Here's our offer: if you write up a project, no matter how big or small, we will publish it to DDRCi members. Hints and tips are good. Things to do are good. Bits of clever circuit are good. How you got the transmitter with missing parts to work: yes, that's really good. Let us know so that we can spread the love. General reminders: * if you'd like help getting or upgrading your licence, send an email to education@ddrci.org.au * to contact the club, drop a line to secretary@ddrci.org.au and if you missed out using your callsign with the AX prefix yesterday, the last opportunity for the year is on World Telecommunications Day which is always 17 May. This year that's a Sunday, and we'll be doing our 2M net on that day with the AX prefix. I'm John VK4JPM, secretary of the Darling Downs Radio Club.

After a year and a half away from the podcast, Lisa is back—sharing what changed, what God has been doing behind the scenes, and why she felt called to return.Joined by Ryan Albury, this conversation begins in prayer and opens into a deeply honest exploration of faith, trust, and relationship with Jesus.They talk about what prayer really is (and isn't), why some prayers are answered instantly while others take years, and how God works through both the waiting and the breakthrough.Lisa shares personal stories of provision, healing, and learning to trust God after a lifetime of not feeling safe to. Ryan brings powerful insight into spiritual growth, including how to recognize God's voice, what it means to contend for God's promises, and the deeper layers of transformation that happen when we surrender.The conversation also goes into territory many avoid—spiritual warfare, the reality of the enemy, and the subtle lies that keep people disconnected from God.Why Lisa stepped away—and what brought her backThe true purpose of prayer: intimacy over outcomesReal stories of answered prayersWhy some prayers take timeHealing the father wound and learning to trust GodHow to recognize the voice of GodThe reality of spiritual warfareHow we unknowingly open spiritual “doors”The impact of relationships and sex on a spiritual levelMarriage as covenant vs. modern dating culture“Jesus isn't real—He's just a myth”“Religion is man-made”“Prayer doesn't work”“God will do everything—I don't need to change”“The church is dangerous”“The enemy is other people”“The Bible can't be trusted”No matter your past, your doubts, or what you've walked through—there is always a path back to God.There is freedom, healing, and peace available through Jesus.Check out Lisa's Tallow Skincare: https://www.theforestcabins.com/tallowSTAY CONNECTED WITH RYAN: Website: www.RyanAlbury.comFacebook : https://www.facebook.com/ryan.albury.399 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealrpa/ YouTube:  ⁨@RyanPaulAlbury⁩  FREE COMMUNITY GROUPSFacebook : "The Intersection - A Parts Work Group"      https://www.facebook.com/groups/theintersectionFacebook : "The CrossWalk - Online Church Community"      https://www.facebook.com/groups/thecrosswalkchurchFacebook : "Men on the Mount - A Men's Discipleship Brotherhood"      https://www.facebook.com/groups/menonthemountTelegram Messaging :  The CrossWalk Christian Content Hub       https://t.me/+qmHuwdjY5TthN2Qx

Interview by Ali WilliamsGenerally speaking, bands spend years in rehearsal rooms crafting a “carefully curated sonic identity.” Others however, make an EP in a uni dorm room in a single day just to “see what happens”. Meet Tom, the founding member of Lismore's Media Puzzle, who definately falls in the latter category. In this week's chat with HEAVY Mag's Ali Williams, Tom proves that sometimes the best things start as a joke and spiral wildly into something very real. What began as a one-man experiment with a drum machine and a “let's just put it out and see” attitude quickly snowballed into a full five-piece outfit reverse-engineering lo-fi chaos into tight, high-energy live shows . Tom describes Media Puzzle as falling somewhere under punk, synth punk and the wonderfully unserious label of “egg punk.” Yes, egg punk. It's fast, scrappy, lo-fi, and occasionally powered by a drum machine that had to be dragged from bedroom obscurity into full band reality . The early worlds of Media Puzzle had no band at all, it was just Tom in his bedroom with a laptop, guitar ,drum machine he could use with synth samples. After showing his one day work of art to his friends, they loved it and wanted in. Tom found himself pulling apart his own recordings, rebuilding them piece by piece like some musical Rubik's Cube. ranslating bedroom experiments into something a five-piece could detonate onstage . There's something beautifully chaotic about having to reverse engineer your own songs because you can't quite remember how you made them in the first place. Most bands polish demos. Media Puzzle disassemble them like they're defusing a bomb. Their upcoming run supporting Regurgitator is a genuine full-circle moment for the band. Ten shows across Ulladulla, Canberra, Albury, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Bathurst are locked in , kicking off March 13 , marking their first proper tour invite and easily their biggest leap so far . For a few members, it's poetic. Bassist Kelly once snuck into a Regurgitator show at 16 . Now she's sharing the bill. That's not just ironic nostalgia. That's rock and roll karma doing its job. The timing couldn't be better. Media Puzzle are dropping a new album around the same time the tour kicks off . According to Tom, it's a step in a “somewhat different direction” while still sounding like them, which in Media Puzzle terms probably means faster, weirder and somehow tighter all at once. The interview drifts into everything from the widely recognised, now redundant Southern Cross University's Bachelor of Contemporary Music that helped shape Tom and a generation of musicians drawn to the Northern Rivers, to the glamorous reality of balancing band life with a day job at Bunnings. Rock and roll might be chaotic, but sausage sizzles keep the lights on. What makes Media Puzzle compelling isn't just the genre-blending, DIY approach or the scrappy origins. It's the freedom. Tom describes the project as something without rules, a space to try anything and learn in public . In an industry obsessed with strategy, that kind of creative recklessness feels refreshing. From dorm-room experiment to national tour support for one of Australia's most iconic alternative acts, Media Puzzle are no longer just “seeing what happens.” They're making it happen. And come March 13, they'll be doing it loud, fast and proudly egg-shaped. For more info and links to tickets for all of Regurgitators Jukeboxxin Tour head to https://www.regurgitator.net/blog Tell ‘em ya mum sent ya and they'll tell you she loves it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

A feedback pod today, and if you heard last weeks feedback ep, we had a message from wolfpacker Jack who enjoyed the Top 10 Golf Courses in Australia list from Nick and Mark, and suggested a Top 10 Public Courses list....which we jumped at without really thinking it through. The challenge is that we were inundated with suggestions, however there's no real way to rank them, so we just read out a few of the messages and talked about a couple. Sorry Jack!One of the comments we had was from a New Zealand wolfpacker who used to live in Melbourne, and was playing at Brighton East on the day a very famous TV show and scene was being filmed right outside...he explains.Off the back of a vote for Narooma, Mark raises the sheer number of Hogans Alley's that there are around the world. Narooma having the famous Hogan's Hole.A message from a wolfpacker who has been a walking scorer and had some thoughts to add following our chat about The Australian Women's Open having walking scorers for the first two days this year.And a voicemail from John in Albury about Corowa Golf Club. We've had a huge number of messages about what has happened at Corowa, it's a very sad outcome for a famous course.And on a brighter note, Tim has tried Marks 'right ear' idea, has it worked for Tim? We find out.After the turn, this is very sweet. And it is a little visual so if you're listening to the pod we hope the comments make sense. We've had a message from Travis, he listens to the pod with his 8-year old daughter Sophie, who plays golf and asked her Dad to send some footage of her swings into Nick and Mark to review....which of course we do.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And watchMynumbers and Southern Golf Club.

Nik Buttigieg's business has transformed dramatically since the last time he was on the podcast. Back then, he was running sessions out of a tiny room in a caravan in regional WA. Today, he's built a thriving portrait studio in Albury, with staff, systems, a full shooting and sales setup, and revenue pushing the $600K mark — with his eyes firmly on seven figures. What's most interesting isn't just the growth, but the shift in how Nik thinks about marketing, client experience, and his role as a business owner. You can hear it in everything he says. He's simplified, doubled down on what matters, opened up his offer, and stopped trying to pre-qualify his way to better clients. Instead, he's engineered a studio experience that gets people through the door — and lets the work do the heavy lifting. In this episode, Nik shares what's been behind that shift, the mindset changes that unlocked his momentum, and how he's built a studio that feels both profitable and sustainable — even with a newborn at home and a calendar packed with sessions, sales, and phone calls. If you've ever wondered what it looks like when all the pieces finally click, this is a must-listen. The post 643: Nik Buttigieg – The Low-Pressure Strategy Filling His Studio With Ideal Clients appeared first on Photography Business Xposed - Photography Podcast - how to build and market your portrait and wedding photography business.

"Some people hustle pool, some people hustle cars, but have you ever heard of the man who hustles stars?" From 1976 to 1997, these lines began every episode of Jack Horkheimer: Star Hustler, the astronomy show from WPBT, South Florida PBS. Later on Star Hustler was rebranded to Star Gazers, and hosts Dean Regas and James Albury took over after Horkheimer's passing. In this episode of Looking Up, Dean and James reminisce on production of the show, plus, "buzzkill" astronomy is back!
