In Australia, no wedding or school dance is complete without the Nutbush, Australia's unofficial national dance. The Nutbush – a simple line dance to the song “Nutbush City Limits,” by Ike and Tina Turner – has become as stereotypically Australian as kangaroos, boomerangs, and Vegemite.And yet, hardly anyone outside of Australia even knows the Nutbush exists. Here at Decoder Ring, we certainly didn't – until we started getting emails from Australians asking us to investigate its origins. How did an American song become the soundtrack for an Australian national tradition? Who invented the iconic steps, and why does every Australian know them?Our producer Max Freedman put on his dancing shoes to get some answers. The global, century-spanning story of the Nutbush involves Australia, Tennessee, Denmark, primary schools, gay discos, and demonstrates that even the goofiest cultural touchstones can go surprisingly deep.In this episode you'll hear from culture journalists David Mack and Angus Kidman; Nutbush researchers Panizza Allmark and Jon Stratton; dance historians Erica Okamura and Richard Powers; Dr. Fiona Chatteur, Jeremy Santolin, and Brian Kerr.This episode was written and produced by Max Freedman and edited by Evan Chung, our supervising producer. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director.If you have any cultural mysteries you want us to decode, email us at DecoderRing@slate.com or leave a message on our hotline at (347) 460-7281.Get more of Decoder Ring with Slate Plus!

Brian Kerr and Richie McCormack reflect on Nottingham Forest and Newcastle's draw. Football on Off The Ball with Novibet
There's growing pressure on the FAI to boycott the Ireland v Israel football match after two major figures in Irish football, Brian Kerr and Louise Quinn, joined a campaign for the Nations League games not to be played. The FAI says it has no choice, and that refusing to play would seriously damage Irish football.So, should Ireland be refusing to play the game? If it goes ahead, will you watch it?Joining Andrea to discuss this is Daniel Lambert from Irish Sport for Palestine and Bohemians FC Chief Commercial Officer, Off the Ball's Cameron Hill and listeners.

Dublin actor, comedian and former international boxer Terry O'Neill joins us to talk about the upcoming show at the National Stadium, ‘In The Ring With Dan Donnelly & Dublin's Boxing Legends', taking place on May 9. Terry, who will perform a portion of his hit one-man show Rope-A-Dope on the night, will be joined by heavyweights of Irish culture including Brian Kerr, Damien Dempsey and Elite champion Kellie McLoughlin.Though he had just three organized bouts, Dan Donnelly's name remains legendary more than 200 years after his death. Terry explains how Donnelly's 19th-century clashes with Englishmen Tom Hall and George Cooper on the Curragh were the "Louis-Schmeling" of their day - symbols of the oppressed rising against the oppressor. We dive into the life of this hard-drinking man of the people and the macabre saga of his stolen arm, which became a literal ‘Irish Shroud of Turin'.We also trace the lineage of Dublin boxing royalty, from Frankie Kerr to Kenneth Egan, and Steve Collins to Kellie Harrington. Plus, we run the rule over today's stars: from Pierce O'Leary, fresh off his clinical IBO world title win at the 3Arena, to the resurgent Jono Carroll, and the relentless Paul Ryan and Emmet Brennan.With Donnelly still remembered two centuries on, we ask: which of today's fighters will be talked about in 2226? If Katie Taylor finally gets her Croke Park swansong - a hot topic on today's pod - she might just be the one Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Brian Kerr's voice is instantly familiar as a broadcaster, and his contribution to Irish football is extraordinary. Born in 1953, his first coaching role came while barely a teenager. In the 1980s he would come to manage the team he had supported since his childhood, St Patrick's Athletic, before going on to historic victories with Ireland's youth teams in the 1990s. In this discussion, we touch on everything from the 1966 World Cup Final to the visit of the Al-Helal Football Academy in Gaza to Dublin. A little language in this one. With thanks to Naoise Nunn and all at Mindfield/Electric Picnic. For more on Kerr's story, see Joe O'Rourke's ‘The People's Champions' exploring his 1989/1990 league winning side.
