Professor Nora Shields is a prolific researcher in the youth disability space. Dr Shields is a professor of physiotherapy at La Trobe university in Melbourne, Australia. She hails from Ireland completing her Physiotherapy degree and PhD at Trinity College in Dublin, and also holds a Graduate Certificate in Higher Education. Dr Shields developed a program called FitSkills, an innovative program which facilitates young people with disability (YPWD) to exercise with a physiotherapy student mentor, addressing the lack of social support barrier to physical activity for YPWD. Nora tells us about the program and how it's making a difference to the lives of YPWD as well as physio students. We also chat about the less general skills you learn by doing a PhD and explore some of the social and societal barriers preventing YPWD living their best lives.Nora's bio – 3.23Intro – 5.16Career pathway – 6.16PhD - inelectro therapy – 11.44Skills you gain in a PhD – writing – 16.03Physical activity in disability benefits – 19.22 Barriers – 22.52FitSkills story – 27.34Contact theory in fit skills – 37.04Importance of experience with YPWD for Physios & health workforce – 38.32YPWD in the workforce – 44.46FitSkills early outcomes – 46.24New project Gym Spark – 51.56Final thoughts - Prevention, Brain Health & Adult care of YPWD – 55.19Prof Shield's Latrobe Uni profile (contact details & publications tab) https://scholars.latrobe.edu.au/nshieldsLinkedIn - https://au.linkedin.com/in/nora-shields-a401226Research Gate - https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Nora-ShieldsTwitter - @DrNoraShields

Welcome to Episode 14, coming to you live from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. We've escaped the Sydney lockdown and moved to the QLD lockdown, sneaking across the state border in removalist trucks. Mick's been listening to Type O Negative's slow, heavy cover of Seals & Croft's “Summer Breeze”, and The Phatman has been listening to They Might Be Giants' Flood album with great songs like "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)", and "Birdhouse in Your Soul". Today, we talk about an Aussie phenomenon - Pub Rock. Big pubs like the Oceanic, Sundowner, Dee Why, Mona Vale with capacity of 1000+ were a cheap way to see bands with door prices underwritten by alcohol sales. From the mid-70's through to the late 80's, they provided an environment where Aussie bands could develop before trying to make it in the UK, Europe, or the US. The Angels are a perfect example of an 80's Aussie Guitar Band. Their shows were a non-stop blast of high energy. With twin guitarists, Rick and John Brewster, standing totally still in sunglasses, movement on stage was centred around Doc Neeson – ball of energy. Most Angels songs featured a solid riff over a pounding rhythm line underpinning Neeson's rapid-fire/machine gun/perfect diction vocal delivery. Sometimes Doc adopted a (hyper-Energiser Bunny!) “robotic” style of movement – take a look at the clip of “Take a Long Line” at Latrobe Uni in 1979, or live at Narara in 1983. They were fun!!!!! We saw The Angels many times and each show was a highlight. Their first gig in Sydney, playing a radio station promo show under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Supporting Bowie when singer Doc Neeson climbed the huge PA stack. At Sundowners, a pub in south-western Sydney where Mick took off his shirt after 3 songs to find it still soaking wet at the end of the show! The audience got into the act, too. “Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again", became a fan favourite with an expletive-laden live crowd response of “No way, get fucked, fuck off”. This chant has been described by The Guardian's Darryl Mason as "one of the most famous in Australian rock history". Contact us If you enjoy this podcast, share it with a friend who loves music.

31 August is International Overdose Awareness Day. Being unable to gather in person, we asked listeners for their personal remembrances of loved ones lost to overdose. The resulting tributes are equal parts sad and joyful. They also make an implicit case against stigma and for decisive action on this urgent and tragic issue. We thank everyone who contributed and offer best wishes and solidarity to anyone marking this occasion. Be sure also to check out Part 2, an interview with researchers from Latrobe Uni about take-home Naloxone, a key tool in the prevention of opioid overdoses, and heavy drinking, an often-overlooked contributor to deaths by overdose. The show is brought to you by the Association of Participating Service Users (APSU), which is a service of the Self Help Addiction Resource Centre (SHARC). APSU is a Victorian consumer body that believes the voices of people with lived experience of AOD issues should be heard and incorporated into service design and delivery.

There’s plenty more of it here. And there’ll be more from us. Thanks so much for listening.

Robert James Conlon is a long time exponent of the art of taking an audience in one direction, only to sneak up behind them and yell 'Gotcha!'. This is not to say he will not put himself in the firing line. We all come under scrutiny and Robert's work features a high level of self-analysis.He has been a part of the Melbourne poetry scene since the 90s and has performed widely; in addition to his more recent long term project of posting more poems to Youtube than anyone ever. He studied writing at Latrobe Uni and continues to hone his craft the best way a poet can. By writing as often as possible.In 2014 he was the winner of the Brimank Poetry Competition (of which he has also been runner up). He has been a Victorian finalist of the Australian Poetry Slam and also battled Komninos Zervos in a poetry-wrestling ring in 2015.
