The Fabulist: The Lying, Hustling, Grifting, Stealing, and Very American Legend of George Santos by Mark Chiusano https://amzn.to/3Gi4891 From the dogged Long Island reporter who has been on his trail since 2019, the bizarre, page-turning, and frankly hysterical story of America's most outrageous grifter—US Representative George Santos. America has grown used to larger-than-life politicians: Teflon Don, AOC, MTG, Dark Brandon, and all the rest have injected DC politics with an unmistakable edge of celebrity flair and tabloid intrigue. Yet in 2022, a new player on the national scene outshone them all. George Anthony Devolder Santos, and his revolving door of pseudonyms, shed glaring new light on how far we'd all let our politics slide as his claimed resume was shred to bits in the wake of a longshot run to office from New York's 3rd Congressional District. From Wall Street gigs to an amateur volleyball career, from embellished claims of Jewish heritage to a fabricated 9/11 story involving his mother's death, Santos's legend continued to grow as his web of lies evaporated in real time. And the only thing wilder than this charlatan embedding himself in the warm, consequence-evading arms of our nation's capital was the Queens con artist's refusal to bow his head in shame. The Santos show continues, as he joins the ranks of high-wattage fakers like Anna Delvey and Elizabeth Holmes. Newsday alum and PEN/Hemingway honoree Mark Chiusano tells the full (well, as full as can be given the subject) story of Santos here for the first time. From humble years spent in Brazil, to glamorous nights on the west side of Manhattan, to the stunning small-time scams employed to ease his slippery climb up the American society ladder, The Fabulist tells a story you'll have to read for yourself to believe…and even then, it's George Santos, so who's to say for sure. Combining the very best of boots-on-the-ground journalism, dishy backroom dealings, and glittery details about Gold Coast mansions and bodice-baring drag shows that'd feel just as at home in your next summer beach read, The Fabulist is truly stranger than fiction.

He joined RSN on Tuesday to explain why he was such a fan.

Many experienced owners speak highly of Newcastle's Jason Deamer who resists the temptation to increase the size of his stable. In twenty years of training, the third generation horseman has rarely exceeded twelve horses. His winners and strike rate have remained constant for all of that time. We caught up with the former jockey recently to look back on his racing life. Jason begins by reviewing four consecutive recent wins by the very talented Hard To Say. He talks of his association with Dynamic Syndications who put together an all female syndicate to race Hard To Say. The third generation horseman talks of a recent hit and run trip to Doomben with another Dynamic horse Awesome Lad. Jason says his Newcastle stables have been in the family for many years. He talks of his father John Deamer who enjoyed success as a jockey and trainer before going into the horse transport business. Jason reflects on the riding achievements of his grandfather Carl Deamer who passed away in 2006. Despite his strong pedigree Jason says he had little interest in becoming a jockey in his early years.  He recalls weighing only 42 kgs when he made his riding debut in 1990. Jason vividly recalls his first winning ride at Newcastle on a horse with a strong family connection. He looks back on a brief stint with Tiger Holland and Betty Lane at Randwick. The forty seven year old recalls opportunities he declined from some high profile stables. He looks back on the decision to join the Denham stable at Rosehill. He was actually apprenticed to Allan Denham, but inevitably came under the influence of the legendary Jack. Jason remembers a Rosehill win on Fitting in the Geoff and Beryl White colours. He wore the same colours on Jetball, the horse he says was the best he rode during his time with the Denham stable. He has fond memories of a Hawkesbury win on Sword for syndicator Shelley Hancox. After quitting the saddle he got to take the same horse to Adelaide for two important races. Sword won both. Jason was chuffed a few months ago when the recently retired Allan Denham sent him a horse to train. On leaving the Denham family Jason returned to Newcastle where he became a full time trackwork rider for the late Max Lees. He looks back on a fleeting comeback to race riding. Jason tells the story of his association with owner/trainer David Throsby who was struggling to get work riders at Cessnock. He looks back on an exciting trip to the Gold Coast with Lovely Jubly. The filly won the Magic Millions. Jason remembers a second trip to Queensland with the grey filly. This time she won two Gr 1's. He was later given the opportunity to train Lovely Jubly in his own right. He recalls the excitement of a near miss in a Gr 1 at Rosehill. The Newcastle horseman acknowledges some of the handy horses who've helped him along the way. Jason pays tribute to a few of his favourite jockeys. He talks of Decroux, the very first horse he got to train for Dynamic Syndications. Jason talks of three adult children from his first marriage- Jordan, Montana and Jenson. He and wife Tanya are the proud parents of eight year old Jackson who gets special mention in our podcast. Great to catch up with a highly regarded trainer.

Since the 1970s, young Aussies have marked the end of their schooling career by descending on beaches across the country for a week of drinking, partying and hooking up – an annual event known as schoolies or leavers. After making headlines for all the wrong reasons, police and organisers started clamping down on celebrations, especially on the Gold Coast. This year's official event has gone so far as to ban booze altogether. But even with the changes, and with Gen Z drinking less than any generation before it, many teenagers are steering away from a week of debauchery and are instead prioritising quality time with their friends at more laidback spots. So has the face of schoolies changed forever? On this extra episode of The Briefing, we're joined by the founder of Red Frogs, Andy Gourley, to dig deeper.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since her earliest memories, she has possessed the innate ability to see and communicate with spirits. Motivated by her encounters in a haunted terrace home in New York, Michelle embarked on a transformative journey to further develop her spiritual gifts. With a strong desire to share her insights and help others, Michelle joined a Gold Coast-based paranormal group several years ago. This allowed her to explore and refine her abilities while connecting with like-minded individuals. Drawing inspiration from her experiences, she took a leap of faith at the end of 2018 and launched her own spiritual business. Today, Michelle offers a range of services through her business, including Angel Card/Intuitive readings and Pranic Energy healings. Her genuine intention is to guide individuals towards a more fulfilling life by providing spiritual guidance and healing.

In March 2020, she experienced a pivotal moment when she was made redundant from her journalism career. Embracing this change, Michelle fully devoted herself to her spiritual business, providing readings and healings on a full-time basis. What drives Michelle's passion for her work is the deep connection she forms with her clients. Seeing the emotional impact and witnessing their genuine reactions when she touches on deeply personal matters creates an unbreakable bond. Many of her clients have become cherished friends, reinforcing her spiritual guidance's profound impact on their lives.

Before she became a regular presence on TV screens across Australia, veteran journalist Liz Hayes was simply Beth Ryan, the daughter of a dairy farmer and a housewife in rural New South Wales. Now, as she looks back on her extraordinary life and career in a new memoir, Liz joins Something To Talk About for a thought-provoking and often very funny conversation about the places she has been, the people she has met and the things she has seen. (And trust us, there have been plenty.) Liz considers how the success she achieved across the past several decades mirrored the struggles and triumphs that so many women of her generation endured as they battled societal expectations and came up against “alpha males” along the way. She's also full of fascinating anecdotes, whether reminiscing about the “hysterical moment” her then-flatmate Richard Wilkins encountered an A-list celebrity in her bedroom or marvelling at the phone call she received from former prime minister Bob Hawke, who invited her to join him on a private jet to the Gold Coast. And for the first time, Liz clears the air on her recently resurfaced 2012 interview with disgraced comedian and actor Russell Brand.

Support The Show at: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=26936856   Alright, today's guest is a legend in the world of Triathlon.. An Australian prodigy who made waves early in her career, clinching silver at the Junior World Championships in both 2007 and 2008. And then she struck gold at the junior world champs in Budapest in 2010 and went on to win her first ITU World Cup the following year. For the past decade, she's been a fixture at the pointy end of the sport, taking home titles like the World Triathlon Grand Final in 2018 right on home turf on the Gold Coast. She's a dual Olympian, representing Australia in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2021, and she's won the holy grail of Australian Triathlon, The Noosa Multi-sport festival Triathlon 9 times… going for 10 in a couple of weeks. Two years ago, she pivoted to middle-distance and crushed it. Out of five PTO Championships she's won 3 and finished 2nd twice. Add to that she's won or been on the podium nearly every race she's started the past two years. An incredible transition up in distance.  She's been sitting at world number one for most of the year. Just this week, she slid to the second spot, but let's be honest, when you're at that altitude, it's all the same.  Off the track, she's no less remarkable. Recently married to Josh Amberger, another incredible triathlete who was just on the show a few weeks back, they are the power couple redefining relationship goals in the world of triathlon.   Greg Bennett https://www.bennettendurance.com/ Find Greg on social media: Twitter (X)- The Greg Bennett Show Instagram- The Greg Bennett Show   Ashleigh Gentle Find Ashleigh on social media: Twitter (X)- Ashleigh Gentle Instagram- Ashleigh Gentle

Hear about travel to Queensland's Gold Coast as the Amateur Traveler talks to Leanne and Lyle from BeachTravelWine.com about one of their favorite beach destinations. https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-queenslands-gold-coast/ Why should you go to the Gold Coast? Leanne and Lyle say, "We go for lots of different reasons, but I guess the main one would be, the stunning beaches, and I know lots of places have stunning beaches, but this would have to, I think, be Australia's best strip of beaches, and it's the best surfing beach area, in Australia. It has a really interesting nightlife too. It's the nature, it's right there at the mountains as well and it's adventure. It's got a nickname of the Glitter Strip or, our Glamour Strip. It's it's not Las Vegas by any stretch of the imagination, but it's got that feel about it." Leanne and Lyle lay out a week-long itinerary: Day 1: Start your visit in the middle of the Gold Coast, in Surfers Paradise. Explore Cavill Avenue, a pedestrian-only strip with attractions like wax museums and Ripley's Believe It or Not. Stroll along the beachfront walkways and enjoy the beautiful beaches and surfers. Check out the iconic Surfers Paradise beach area and consider visiting the Q1 building for breathtaking views of the Gold Coast. If you're adventurous you can climb the outside of the building. Keep an eye out for the meter maids made famous by the Beatles. Day 2: Head about 40 kilometers inland from the Gold Coast to Mount Tamborine, a mountainous area known for its lush rainforests. Explore the little town of Tamborine and the Gallery Walk, featuring craft shops, pottery, and more. Enjoy the Rainforest Skywalk and explore Lamington National Park, known for its hiking trails, waterfalls, and lookouts. Consider hot air ballooning or visit local wineries and coffee plantations. Day 3: Experience whale-watching cruises starting from South Port Marina. You'll have a chance to see humpback whales from June to November. After the cruise, explore the South Port Marina area and enjoy the beautiful views. Consider dining at local surf clubs and taking a stroll along the Tweed River with its picturesque views. Day 4: Visit Pacific Fair, a large shopping center with various shops, food courts, and outdoor areas. Explore Broadbeach, known for its range of restaurants and cafes. You can visit Kurrawa Surf Club for lunch, take coastal walks, and enjoy the park. Day 5: Explore Coolangatta and Rainbow Bay, where you can visit the iconic Snapper Rocks and enjoy the beach and local restaurants. You can also visit Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, where you'll encounter Australian wildlife, see wild lorikeet feedings, and enjoy various animal encounters and activities. Day 6: Take a day trip to Moreton Island, known for the Tangalooma Wrecks, sunken ships that create a unique snorkeling experience. Enjoy the underwater scenery with coral and various fish species. You can also participate in dolphin feeding, where wild dolphins swim close to shore to take fish from your hand. Day 7: Spend a relaxing day, perhaps visiting a spa or wellness center at your accommodation. Enjoy the beach, swim, and unwind, taking in the serene surroundings of the Gold Coast. Some optional activities would include exploring some of Australia's best theme parks including Movie World, Dream World, and Wet'n'Wild. Consider purchasing a multi-day park pass to experience all the rides and attractions these parks offer. You might also check if there are any local sporting events happening during your stay, such as NRL or Aussie Rules games. Fans of racing should think about attending events like the Gold Coast 500 V8 Supercars race or the Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia. In both events, cars race through the streets of the Gold Coast. For a side-trip consider a day trip to Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland, which is only about a 45-minute train ride away. Explore Brisbane's attractions, such as the Botanic Gardens, South Bank, and the River City's waterfront. You can attend unique cabaret shows like "Dracula's" or "Outback Spectacular" to add some excitement to your evenings. Be aware of the two weeks in November when kids Queensland and New South Wales visit the Gold Coast for "schoolies" celebrations. This is Australia's version of spring break for recently graduated high school seniors. It might not be the ideal time for a visit if you're looking for a quieter experience. If you are looking for a mix of glamour, beach, and nature, then consider Queensland's Gold Coast.
