An initiative which has received global acclaim for its ability to train first responding police in critical medical intervention techniques.

We head to Queensland for the penultimate podcast of our Year In Beer 2024 series. As with much of the local beer industry, it's been a challenging time for many in the state. A number of craft beer venues have closed or changed hands, the most high profile of which was Brewski, whose owners Ant and Matt joined us for an earlier show before rocking up with their new My Beer Dealer in Fortitude Valley. Talking of high profile, the voluntary administration and, ultimately, sale of Black Hops Brewing to a new ownership team was among the most talked-about of all the littered the past 12 months in Australia. But, even here, the changes that brought led to an unexpected opportunity for two of the guests on this episode: Phil Sharp and Daniel Venema of Hiker Brewing. They took ownership of Black Hops Brisbane and converted it to their second home, a move they hadn't expected to make for a couple of years yet. However, such a decision feels very in keeping with the brewery's fine start to life. The founders discuss the lean and mean, community-centric ethos that's brought them to this point, the opportunities for smaller, locals-focused breweries to step in as the new pokie-free pub, their fondness for Working Title's beers, and how they were the real winners of the GABS Hottest 100 of 2023. We kick off, however, with Brisbane-based Crafty Pint writer Mick Wüst for his take on the past 12 months: the trends he's witnessed, the beers he's enjoyed, and what he's been up to, which has included publishing a second book and completing a third (both on spirits, following his first on beer). From there, we head to the Sunshine Coast where Craig Williams sits down at the home of Josh Donohoe, founder of Sunshine Coast Craft Beer Tours. A renewed focus on beer tourism is something we wrote about in the national trends article that launched this series and it's cropped up in other episodes, but few are as well versed as Josh. Not only has he been running tours in the region since the days when they had just a handful of breweries, but he's played a central role in the Craft Beer Capital tourism marketing campaign, even travelling with the region's brewers to sing the Sunshine Coast's praises in New Zealand.

Few venues have made an impact on their city's beer scene quite like Brewski, the Brisbane venue opened by Antoinette Pollock and Matt Emmerson back in 2013. It was one of the first to wholeheartedly embrace craft beer and, along with its notable peers and the teams behind each of them, helped create one of the most colourful, creative and welcoming beer communities in Australia. Fired by a love of big beers and outlandish events, Brewski's reputation spread far beyond Brewsvegas, becoming a second home for many.In July 2024, Matt and Ant announced they'd made the hard decision to close; changing economic realities meant continuing to operate such a venue in the heart of Caxton Street was no longer viable. Given all they'd brought to the local beer world, we asked them to join us for a chat about the Brewski years, their approach to running multifaceted beer venues, the rise of craft beer, the future for beer bars, marketing and plenty more.Then, two days before this show was published, we learned there was a silver lining: they're opening another My Beer Dealer bar-bottleshop in Fortitude Valley and have, of course, grand plans for their new baby: they want it to be one of the biggest drink-in bottle shops in the country.Also discussed in the episode are the collapse of Valhalla Brewing and associated beer distribution business Lotus, plus the news that Brisbane brewers Slipstream are opening a venue on the Sunshine Coast.NB: The main interview was recorded prior to The Crafty Pint Podcast launching and is audio-only. There's some inconsistency in the sound, in part due to recording in the venue, but there's much to enjoy in the discussion too, hosted by Mick Wüst and Craig Williams.Links referenced in or relevant to the show:Valhalla Liquidation Impacting Multiple Indie Brewers: https://craftypint.com/news/3552/valhalla-brewing-to-be-liquidated-multiple-indie-brewers-counting-the-costSlipstream Opening On Sunshine Coast: https://craftypint.com/news/3549/slipstream-to-open-a-venue-on-the-sunshine-coastBrewski To Close: https://craftypint.com/news/3507/brewski-to-close-after-a-decade-of-beersTen Lessons From Ten Years: Brewski – https://craftypint.com/news/3288/brewski-ten-lessons-from-ten-yearsBendigo On The Hop 2024: https://www.bendigobeer.com/both-2024 The Crafty Cabal: https://craftycabal.com/

  Today on the pod, we chat with Mary Leigh Miller. I'm not going to lie, this was a really tough conversation, and the courage Mary Leigh showed chatting with me about the death of her son, blew me away. Mary Leigh's son, Cole Miller was killed by a Cowards Punch in January 2016 on a night out in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane.  We talk about the impact this horrendous act has had on her, her family, and the community they are part of. Mary Leigh and her family felt strongly about organ donation and made the decision to donate Cole's organs. We chat about the process of organ donation and the lives Coles organ donation saved. This is a confronting conversation, but Mary Leigh's take away message was to have conversations with your kids and loved ones around organ donation and what a gift it can be to save another's life through organ donation. I was so humbled by this strong and courageous woman. A mother's love is so beautiful.  Bek x https://www.donatelife.gov.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Mark Wilkinson over Zoom video!Australian troubadour Mark Wilkinson shares his nuanced and heartfelt new EP Golden Afternoons. Mark centers around the theme of duality and accepting your own weaknesses and strengths in life. Mark reminds himself to “Embrace the Ride,” to let go and feel alive in each moment. Produced in Nashville alongside Owen Lewis (Paris Paloma, Old Sea Brigade, Snow Patrol), the seven-song effort sees the impassioned songwriter reconcile with his insecurities while finding the confidence to take risks despite the fear of failure. The result is a dynamic release with pin-drop moments and grandiose heights.Mark explains, “The EP explores the fine line between light and dark as well as confidence and uncertainty, which are the two states I'm constantly between as an artist and songwriter. Each song touches on these themes as they float through this body of work. It's a reflection of the balancing act.”Mark is also proud to announce the Golden Afternoons 2024 Australian Tour kicking off on April 11th in Fortitude Valley, QLD. Find the full list of tour dates below and for more information visit: www.markwilkinson.com.ABOUT MARK WILKINSON:Life never follows a linear road. Rather, it often forks as we do our best to keep pace in the middle. Mark Wilkinson treads this path in his music. He acknowledges hardship and darkness, only to step into the embrace of the light. The Sydney-based singer and songwriter acutely details this journey through relatable storytelling and hummable songcraft. By considering and understanding life's extremes from the middle, he gets closer to himself on his new EP, Golden Afternoons.After building an international profile by bringing his music directly to the people as a popular busker, he has creatively leveled up with each successive release. He captivated audiences with the likes of Let The River Run [2013], Hand Picked, Vol. 2 [2015], Wasted Hours [2018], and Blue Eyed Girls [2019]. Along the way, he catapulted to #1 on the Australian Independent Charts and sold in excess of 80,000 units. Since the release of 2022's Mariposa EP, he's impressively racked up millions of streams on Spotify and garnered support from Americana Highways, The Bluegrass Situation, and The Wild Is Calling who said, “We see star power and mainstream potential in the spirit of Mumford and Sons, Mt. Joy, or the Lumineers.” Standout single “Grafton St” also found fans at SiriusXM Coffeehouse.This time around, he changed up the process. Mark decamped to Nashville, TN where he recorded what would become Golden Afternoons with producer Owen Lewis (Paris Paloma, Old Sea Brigade, Snow Patrol) in just two weeks.“It was my first time making a project in Nashville,” he reveals.“It was exciting to see the whole thing come together over a short period and work with some amazing musicians. It progresses from the previous EP—which was made in a space of the end of the Pandemic and not knowing anything about what was going to happen. This music comes out of that period with confidence, trying to trust yourself and looking forward to a brighter tomorrow.”We want to hear from you!

Paul's mum was just 15 years old when he was born and his brother was born when she was just 12.  His mum passed away when he was 3.   To say it was an unstable and challenging start to life, is an understatement. However he describes his Grandma, Aunty and Father as God's angels sent to look after him.  They provided much needed love and stability.  From the age of about 15, Pauls life has been marked by trouble and addiction.  He entered the Salvos rehab at Moonyah 23 years ago, when I was the Captain there and he is now involved at Streetlevel in Fortitude Valley, where I bumped into him recently and recorded something of his story.

The Whisky Au Go Go Fire is just as much a mystery today as it was in the hours after the tragedy that took the lives of 15 people in Fortitude Valley on March 8th 1973. Police would start a major investigation that would drag in some of Brisbane's most well known criminals, gangsters, bosses and violent offenders who had spent time together in jails over decades, creating networks and ties that spread down the coast into Sydney. But the investigation would also expose police and political corruption, with a group of officers, who were on the take from those very criminals, potentially using this fire to help some club owners cash in. Was it meant to escalate as it did? Were those 15 people meant to be victims or were they just in the wrong place at the wrong time with an arson attack that went far more successfully than the perpetrators planned?

We made it Streets of Your Towners - the 100th episode of the Streets of Your Town podcast!!! This episode we return to the man who so kindly kicked off this crazy Streets of Your Town adventure! The man whose storytelling is equally masterful with words or with the palette knife -  who is bookending this series by featuring in episode 1 and 100. This internationally renowned artist - harking from a family of journo's - generously started this podcast series by telling his story - from his idyllic country childhood to rebellious teen, and on to becoming Deputy Mayor of Brisbane, before rediscovering his creative talent anew. Today we re-visit David Hinchliffe in his inner Brisbane city Fortitude Valley home - to find out what's changed for him on the street where he lives, what's different post pandemic, and what has remained the same or even more important than before. The same themes that all of us have pondered, as we reflect on our how our lives have changed too.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Originally from Brisbane's Fortitude Valley, the McDermott & North duo brought their Indie Folk Rock harmonies to the streets of Melbourne. While some buskers search the city's central area for recognition, Paddy (McDermott) and Rhys (North) look towards the suburbs of Melbourne and the countryside of Victoria to present their original songs. Interview recorded on April 25, 2022 (Banana Alley by the Yarra River, Melbourne Central Business District) by Daniel Bacchieri. Music excerpts from the songs "Ally", "Broken Girl", "Everytime (I'm a Little Bit Like You)", "Georgia", "Sunshine Bank Holiday", "Through the Wind", "Anything Sally Says", written by McDermott & North.

On today's Zero Limits Podcast I chat with Dustin Osborne current Queensland Police Officer and Co-Chair of the Law Enforcement Officer Medical Working Group at Australian Tactical Medical Association. Dusty has spent roughly 15 years as a police officer spending most of his time posted to the Fortitude Valley Police Station. Fortitude Valley is the smallest policing division in Queensland but has over 130 staff dedicated to policing the division.  It's a very diverse area and Dusty regularly attended to violence disturbance with severe trauma (including mental health self harm). By 2014, Dusty got his Senior instructor qualification which is the highest level in instructing for Pistol, Rifle, Taser and hand to hand skills.In 2016, Dusty was selected to be apart of the Active Armed Offender Team. While there he assisted in the  design and development of the service skills response to responding to AAO incidents. During this time, I become an advocate for the victim of these events and went on to create Tactical First Aid.Support the show - https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=9LG48GC49TW38Website - www.zerolimitspodcast.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/zero.limits.podcast/?hl=en

Cuando una ciudad toma el nombre de su río, el idilio fluvial está garantizado. La capital del estado australiano de Queensland se identifica profundamente con el suyo, un ancho cauce navegable que traza elegantes meandros sobrevolados por multitud de puentes. Lejos de dividir, el Brisbane River conecta sus dos orillas. En la norte, la pedagoga brisbanense Hannah Campos nos muestra el CBD, un pujante centro financiero donde encontramos monumentos tan señeros como el ayuntamiento, el imponente edificio de Treasury Building o el parlamento estatal. También descubrimos los jardines botánicos, el animado y cultural distrito de South Bank, en la margen derecha. Nos empapamos de la vida de sus variopintos barrios, desde el fiestero Fortitude Valley hasta el abrupto Kangaroo Point, marcado por unos acantilados de vértigo. Seguimos el curso del río hasta su desembocadura para conocer la bahía Moreton, famosa por las dos alargadas y paradisíacas islas que protegen las aguas costeras de Brisbane. Para hacer surf y disfrutar de las playas existen dos opciones: las cercanas poblaciones de Sunshine Coast y Gold Coast. También nos acompañan en la ruta otros residentes: el periodista mexicano Allan Sosa, la profesora chilena Patricia Braun y los españoles Juan Campos, Susana Fernández, José Juan Florenciano e Irene Lalana.

When we caught up with former Brisbane Deputy Lord Mayor David Hinchliffe in his Fortitude Valley studio, he mentioned that the current vide game industry in Brisbane was a direct result of the music scene in the mid to late 90's. In the 90's Dave McCormack was well known as the frontman for Brisbane indie band Custard, who'd had a string of hits on the ABC youth network Triple J. Custard were regulars on the Australian festival circuit, with appearances at the Big Day Out, Livid Festival and Homebake. The band are still touring and recording, and released their latest album 'Respect All Life Forms' in May of 2020. In this bonus episode Bluey creator Joe Brumm shares a little about why he loves Dave voicing the character of Bandit.

David Hinchliffe is a world renowned artist and former Deputy Lord Mayor of Brisbane. We had a great time visiting David in his Fortitude Valley studio and hearing his unique take on Brisbane - especially the renewed interest in the city. That's something he is a huge part of along with author Trent Dalton (Boy Swallows Universe) and of course Bluey. Find out why David loves watching Bluey with his grandkids, his involvement with the redevelopment of the Powerhouse and establishment of the Story Bridge Adventure Climb. You'll also discover why 'his heart belongs to New Farm Park'. You can see David's work at his website - www.davidhinchliffe.com.au Bluey's Brisbane is hosted by Justin Rouillon and Lou Bromley.

My next guest and I crossed paths over 8 years ago when I hosted a local LGBTIQ radio show called Get Your Queer On. I interviewed him then after he had come out to the nation on TV as a contestant on Big Brother. Soon after this reality tv experience he was used as a political football and was bashed for being gay in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley. Back then this wasn't an easy conversation to have - luckily since then things have changed. David Graham - best known as http://www.farmerdave.com.au (Farmer Dave) graced our screens in 2006 as a Big Brother contestant and has since also been a contestant on Dancing with the Stars and has travelled the world as a model and political activist. Nowadays, Dave is better known for his work as a farmer and animal behaviourist, expanding his big heart, bush skills and kindness to the youth program called http://www.rufftrack.com (Ruff Track) for kids aged between 13-17 who have gone off the rails to give them skills, engagement, education, a sense of self worth and community. They help to empower these young people by helping them establish trust and bonds with amazing working dogs. The 12 week journey sees them 'joining up' with a young dog at a similar stage in life to themselves and working together to accomplish daily goals of manners, communication, overcoming challenges, sheep herding, and fun dog Sports such as K9 Super Wall and DockDogs. The RuffTRACK crew then takes this knowledge on the road with incredible community outreach programs and performances in schools across Australia. Knowing Dave - this sounds like a match made in heaven. This podcast is brought to you by http://www.ethicalchangeagency.com (Ethical Change Agency).
