Podcasts about fairgrounds

Hello, Beautiful...I'm so grateful you're here with me. The soft humming sounds of carnival rides create a nostalgic and comforting atmosphere. This ambient fairground noise is perfect for focus, creativity, or relaxing into familiar sounds. Let the gentle energy surround you. Love,

I get regular enquiries about the current whereabouts and activities of Michael Wrona, the young Queensland race caller I got to introduce to American  horse racing thirty six years ago.The now defunct Hollywood Park Race Club was anxious to try out the Australian style of race calling on the big on course crowds and simulcast viewers of the era. Michael and I were invited to cover a total of six race meetings in a ten day period during which time public reaction was to be closely monitored. Should the experiment prove successful, Michael was all but assured of an offer to become resident Hollywood Park broadcaster.  Two weeks later 24 year old Michael Wrona had made the quantum leap from a fair way down the “pecking order” on 4BC Brisbane to become the voice of Californian racing on one of the world's most iconic racetracks. The past 36 years have taken the Brisbane boy through many valleys and peaks- amazing highlights and devastating lows. He's  been tempted to call it quits and scurry home to Australia several times, but something has always prompted him to give it another shot.  Today he and his American wife Kathy live in Orange County where he's safely ensconced as track announcer at the Los Alamitos race track. Five years ago we presented a podcast with the man himself. Several recent emails have prompted me to give that podcast another run.  Michael was actually in the broadcast box at Los Alamitos getting ready to call a Saturday night card when we recorded this 2021 chat. We began by talking about his Aussie accent, unchanged after more than three decades in the US. He talks of his appointment as Los Alamitos track announcer in the wake of his shock dismissal by the owners of the high profile Santa Anita track.  Michael takes us through the dual breed format of Los Alamitos programming- the combination of thoroughbred and quarter horse racing. We turn back the clock to the day Michael and I arrived at Hollywood Park for a six meeting commitment. If the crowds and simulcast viewers liked the Queenslander's style, he had the job at the famous track. Michael remembers the late Marjorie Everett, the dynamic chairperson of the Hollywood Park Operating Company and some of her eccentricities. He reflects on the first big race he got to call in California featuring the clash of two top horses. Michael was stunned when offered the opportunity to share calling duties at the reopening of the legendary Agua Caliente track where Phar Lap had won his only race outside Australia. He looks  back on the first of several interruptions to his career. Marjorie Everett was deposed as Hollywood Park supremo, and the new administration preferred another caller. He was lucky to pick up a gig at Bay Meadows track in San Francisco. The Aussie commentator talks of a brief return to Hollywood Park and the opportunity to feature in an episode of the famous Seinfeld sitcom. Mike talks of his subsequent dismissal from the Bay Meadows job. Luckily he still had employment with Golden Gate Fields, another popular San Francisco venue. He looks back on an offer from an exciting new venture in Texas. Retama Park opened with a flurry but closed before the completion of its first season. By now Michael was developing an inferiority complex. Around this time Michael got to enjoy a brief stint at the famous Arlington Park track in Chicago. During this stint he called a history making performance by the champion Cigar. Life took a bizarre twist for Michael when he was reappointed by Hollywood Park after a shock resignation by Trevor Denman. He called the race in which Lafitt Pincay Jnr  broke Willie Shoemaker's long standing riding record. The much travelled Wrona talks of an exciting offer from another Texan enterprise called Lone Star Park where he would spend five years. For three years during Lone Star's off season he worked at Fairgrounds in New Orleans. Both tracks were taken over by new management and history repeated itself when Michael was finished up. Michael talks of his separation from first wife Julie whose acting career kept them apart for long periods. His spirits were lifted by the opportunity to call the 2000 Preakness Stakes. In 2005 he returned to California where he called the races for Bay Meadows and Golden Gate Fields. He talks of a quick trip to Argentina to cover South America's biggest race. Michael looks back on 2015, a helluva year for the expat Queenslander. He landed the job at Santa Anita after an exhaustive audition process, but shortly after had to deal with the trauma of being singled out by a “real live” stalker.  By now he'd become very philosophical about the lack of job security in the US. His dismissal at Santa Anita came from left field. On a lighter note Michael talks about his marriage to the delightful Kathy and the interpretation of certain expressions he's used in his race calls. Some of them caused a little confusion in the States. He talks of a whirlwind schedule through 2019 which gave him little time to think of the Santa Anita disaster. This was a lovely catch up with the kid from Brisbane who over 36 years has showcased the Aussie style of race calling on more than twenty tracks in six countries.

Hello to you listening in Charlottesville, Virginia! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Here's the thing: I've hit The Dip. That place in most creative endeavors where you look around and wonder: Does anybody care? Does my work matter? What am I doing and for whom? Believe it or not, The Dip is a precious time. Now you get to dig deep and consider what's it for, who's it for, where is it needed? Not everyone wants or needs what you have to offer; but someone does! Lots of someones. Some years ago I was working as a shepherd at a fiber farm on the outskirts of Charlottesville, Virginia. Our neighbor raised organic goats for meat. Joe sold the meat to customers from the D.C Beltway area who knew a good thing and were happy to pay for it. But Joe wanted more. He was ready to venture out and teach people about the value of eating what he raised: organic food, sustainable, humanely harvested, no junk, and lots of pasture to graze. But where to go? He fixes up an old school bus as a traveling kitchen and visits each and every state and local fair in Virginia. Why? People go to fairs to eat food! But not his food. Fairs offer a lot of cheap fried food: onion blossoms, corn dogs, curly cut fries. Joe is offering 3 items: organic goat kabobs, organic goat curry and an organic goat skillet burger with all the fixins. While his prices are in keeping with what he's trying to sell, they are several times more than the competition at the fair. The food is foreign. No one will eat it except on a dare. Now what? Instead of lowering his prices or changing venues Joe decides to dig in and work on changing attitudes and appetites. At each fairgrounds he stands outside the mobile kitchen and shares his story: why goats, where they are pastured, who takes care of them, how they live, what makes this meat special, and why it's worth it. He prints up a flyer with his story and hands that out, too. Person by person the story draws them in, the goat meat dinners keep them there. It took time but he believed in what he was doing and for whom he was doing it. If this is you here's a tip from Joe:  “Some will. Some won't. Who's next?” As I repeat Joe's words I'm working my way out of The Dip. “Come for the stories; stay for the magic!”   CTA: If you want the story that will change minds, attitudes, behaviors, let's work together.  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us! You will have wonderful company as we continue to walk our lives together.

While corn on the cob day comes at the beginning of June, anyone from the corn growing belt in the US knows that the best time to get fresh corn on the cob is at the end of the summer. Some 7,000 years ago in Mexico---corn grew as a wild grass, though was eventually grown as a crop and harvested. Although the most common corn color is yellow, it can also be cultivated to be purple, green, blue-gray, red, white and even black. By the 1920's Corn on the Cob becomes a Fairground and Picnic Staple...and with the rise of automobile tourism and state and county fairs, vendors across the United States sell freshly boiled or grilled ears of sweet corn, firmly associating corn on the cob with outdoor festivals, barbecues, and Summer leisure. While it might seem rude, proper dinner etiquette for eating corn says holding the cob at each end with your fingers is appropriate. The United States is the largest single producer of corn on the planet, providing at least 40% of the world's corn harvest.

This episode of the Dan Caplis Show is a must-listen for anyone interested in Colorado politics. The conversation is a wake-up call for Republicans, highlighting the challenges they face in the state and the importance of innovative strategies to win elections. Heidi Ganahl is in for Dan and shares the fascinating story of Spencer Pratt, a reality TV star who's making waves in the LA mayor's race with his viral campaign videos. Pratt's approach is a refreshing change from the usual politician speak, and it's something that Colorado Republicans could learn from. The episode delves into the numbers, discussing the significant gap between Republicans and Democrats in Colorado. The speaker explains that Republicans need to increase their base turnout, get unaffiliated voters on their side, and reduce Democrat leaning unaffiliateds' turnout. It's a tall order, but Heidi believes it's possible with the right approach. The conversation also touches on the importance of clean elections and the need for audits to ensure the integrity of the voting process. Heidi then shares a personal story about their experience with the school board election in Douglas County, where Republicans lost despite putting in a lot of effort. She highlights the need for Republicans to innovate and invest in their online infrastructure to reach more people. The conversation also covers the upcoming Freedom Festival, where Heidi and Rocky Mountain Voice will be hosting a lineup of exciting speakers, including Greg Gutfeld, Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, James Lindsay, and Nick Shirley. If you're interested in learning more about the challenges facing Colorado Republicans and how to overcome them, tune in to this episode of the Dan Caplis Show. Heidi shares practical advice, learned from her own 2022 run for governor, and inspiring stories that will leave you feeling motivated and informed. Don't miss this episode and join the conversation about how to take back Colorado.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to Festival Circuit: New Orleans. In episode 3, we're going to jazz fest! We'll look at how the festival started, hear from interviewees about standout performances, talk about the evolution of the festival itself, and of course, talk a bit about jazz fest food.  We spend some time in the Gospel Tent, dance with Mardi Gras Indians, and look at the explosive growth of the festival over the past 20 years. And of course, there's plenty of music.  This would have been the 51st jazz fest, and we all wish we could have been there. But this tribute to the festival and to New Orleans music helps us all feel a little more connected to live music and to this event that is truly one of a kind.  Festival Circuit is presented by Osiris Media.

Rod Stewart, Irma Thomas, Rockin' Dopsie Jr. & The Zydeco Twisters It was great. Like any day you spend at Jazz Fest of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. It was Sunday, April 26, 2026. Hot, humid and beautiful. I got to see the tail end of the New Orleans Nightcrawlers set. I really enjoyed hearing them play! Then I finally got to see Rockin' Dopsie Jr. & The Zydeco Twisters live and in person. Dopsie is a performer who channels James Brown with unimaginable energy. He brings a relentless drive to the washboard and managed to keep the crowd in a state of constant motion. Next, I had the privilege of seeing the "Soul Queen of New Orleans," Irma Thomas once again. There is a profound sincerity in her voice. There's no one quite like her. She shared a poignant moment with the audience, noting that while she may have never had a million-selling record, but she has millions of fans. We all cherish what she does. The day concluded with a headline performance by Rod Stewart. Seeing a legend of his stature in the context of the Fair Grounds was something I won't forget. He delivered a set that felt like both a grand finale and a celebration of showmanship in the classic sense. Rod and his band moved seamlessly from hit to hit. And you could tell he had a genuine appreciation for the festival atmosphere and the city. I heard a lot of music! From the sounds of Mento and Zydeco to the world-renowned icons on the main stage, the 2026 festival was like all the other days of Jazz Fest I've witnessed. It was a day of phenomenal performances that personified the New Orleans spirit.

PTF & JK sit down to talk about budding 2026 Kentucky Derby contender Paladin fresh from his victory in the 2026 Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds over Chip Honcho and 2026 Lecomte Stakes winner Golden Tempo, earning a 93 Beyer Speed Figure with the win. PTF & JK discuss the potential path for Paladin, which appears to wind toward the 2026 Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland in April, following in the path of former Chad Brown stars Zandon and Sierra Leone. They also discuss how Paladin currently ranks against others on the Kentucky Derby trail including Nearly, who recently won the 2026 Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park and is currently targeting the 2026 Florida Derby.

PTF is joined by horseplayer Frank McGoey to analyze the stakes races for 2026 Risen Star Stakes Day, a major day on the road to Kentucky Derby 2026, at Fair Grounds on Saturday (Feb. 14). Alongside the Risen Star are the 2026 Rachel Alexandra Stakes, a major prep on the road to the 2026 Kentucky Oaks, as well as the Fair Grounds Stakes on the Turf and the Mineshaft Stakes for older horses on the dirt.
