Occasional guest host and LTA videographer Nolan Johnson joins Clay to talk about the epic Lewis and Clark Airstream journey of 2025, wherein Clay will follow the Lewis and Clark Trail from Jefferson's Monticello in Virginia to Astoria, Oregon, and back again. Historian James Ronda said the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-06 was “America's first great road story.” Clay plans to get himself on all the great rivers of the journey: Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri, Clearwater, Snake, and Columbia. Nolan will join Clay at several Lewis and Clark sites across America, with video cameras and his celebrated drone work. Nolan and Clay talk about several adventures that have already been scheduled, including an absurd pontoon float from Fort Yates, North Dakota, up to Bismarck and beyond. Clay will begin his transcontinental travels in early May in North Carolina and make stops at Monticello, Harpers Ferry, and Philadelphia before joining the Ohio River at Pittsburgh. It's a grand adventure, and we already ask, “What could go wrong?” This interview was recorded on March 22, 2025.

Depois de um primeiro split relâmpago (que não era para ser bem um "primeiro Split"), formato cheio de reviravoltas e muita insatisfação do público, a Riot abriu o jogo e declarou que vamos ter mudanças no formato da LTA já para este segundo split! O Fearless Draft deve continuar, mas teremos mais mudanças para um campeonato que faça sentido não só para a torcida, mas também para os times. Vem com o Schaeppi conferir quais são estas mudanças no MD3 de hoje!
For those who haven't caught up with episode 183 of LTA, I came up with the idea of speaking with a range of previous guests from the show (musicians, podcasters, TV and radio broadcasters) to talk with me about their earliest recollections of walking into the sacred temple that is a record / CD store. I wanted to know what drew them to the stores they went to, what the guys / gals behind the counter were like, hijinks that went on in the stores, how their musical tastes were influenced by LPs they discovered for the first time in said stores. Welcome to episode 184 of Love That Album. I had 10 conversations with 11 people (was hoping for a 12th, but.......life happens). Too many for one episode, so I divided the conversations into two parts. For this second part of the recollections of record stores, I speak with the following magnificent bastards: Eric “Reanimator” Peterson – ex-host of Love That Album: The Compilation Edition Ben Eisen and Shannon Hurley – Host and Numbers Girl of All Time Top Ten podcast and partners in the duo Lovers And Poets Mike White – Host of The Projection Booth and a ton of other great shows at Weirding Way Media Michael Pursche – Host of Sitting In a Bar In Adelaide on Lofty 88.9 Radio in the Adelaide Hills Tim Merrill – My co host at See Hear and all-round wonderful human being. I had a marvellous time finding out a ton of things about their record stores, really a wonderful part of their personal history, and their towns' history. My thanks to all of them for being so willing to hang out with me for these conversations. If you haven't yet checked out episode 183 to here more of these conversations, do that as well.....not at all required to appreciate 184, though, so listen in whatever order you please.

It's another Q&A, and this week' we're talking Lifetime ISA withdrawals, whether you need life insurance and the NHS pensions scheme, among other things! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA8 01:08 Question 1 I just wanted to start by thanking you so much for your podcast. I'm probably one of your younger listeners, having started listening to you when I was 26. I feel very fortunate to have discovered your podcast at such a young age, as it means I will hopefully have years, if not decades, to put your excellent advice into practice. I have a quick question that I was hoping you could help me with. I currently have a LISA that I was planning to use as a deposit for a house. However, I am now planning to move to Australia permanently with my Aussie fiancée. I have separate savings that I can use for a deposit now, but since ISAs are not recognised in Australia while UK SIPPs are, would it be wise to take the 25% hit by withdrawing the money from my LISA and transferring it into a SIPP to benefit from higher rate tax relief and continued tax advantages? I understand you cannot offer specific advice, but I would be interested to hear if there are any general pitfalls or advantages in this plan that I should be aware of. Many thanks! Simon 04:40 Question 2 Will try to keep this brief but is challenging. Do we need life insurance? If I die whilst employed my wife gets a lump sum which will cover our only debt the mortgage through my DB pension scheme. If I retire aged 60-65 my lump sum will cover any mortgage remaining if still have one. My wife has no such pension / cover if she were to die (currently between jobs). I have emergency fund / Overpay into pension for tax relief & child benefit purposes / and recently opened stocks and shares ISA for myself and 2 children. Age 39 trying to build for future but started late :) Many thanks Lee 09:55 Question 3 Many thanks for all the ongoing information and discussion, I've been listening for years, but still learning and trying to put into practice all positive behaviours (just like with diet and exercise, knowing and doing are rather different!). A question and a thought. Question; (apologies, after I typed it, it turned out to be very long and NHS specific so feel free to ignore, but I think the point about revising tax returns after submission when new info comes is more generally applicable). I'm in the NHS pension scheme and am awaiting my RPSS after McCloud judgement. They were due by October. It's November and I haven't had mine (many others say the same). I believe they are prioritising those with who have definite AA charges and I doubt my NHS figures trigger that as I was part time for much of the relevant period. However, I also contributed to a private pension every year, the amounts varied, but were usually calculated quite closely using the AAPSS that I had at the time to maximise residual allowances - so basically I think I may now have Annual Allowance issues that I didn't at the time, but am not being prioritised by the NHS pension scheme for a new statement because they don't know about my extra contributions. Added to this I have already submitted my 23-24 tax return before I realised there might be a problem. Others have added a comment to theirs essentially saying ‘watch this space for more information' and apparently have 12 months to amend them once their RPSS arrives. So, the question is, can I still change my tax return (submitted on behalf by my accountant if that's relevant) if new information becomes available after Jan 31st (or even in the new tax year)? Do you have any advice for those waiting documents from the NHS pension scheme or insider knowledge re. Timescales for remaining documents? Anja 13:28 Question 4 Thank you so much for an amazing podcast! My question… After 7 years of a long distance relationship, I'm talking to my partner about moving in together. Apart from checking your significant other listens to the podcast (mine does - phew) what are the most important areas to cover when thinking about joint finances, particularly if you haven't talked much about money before? Thank you! Elizabeth 19:07 Question 5 Hi Pete and Roger! Thank you so much for the show. I've been listening for the past 6 years and have gone from saving for a house to learning about pensions and now actively pursuing building my pension and ISA pots so that I can be ‘work optional' as soon as possible (hoping to be there in 5 years and would not have known where to even start if it wasn't for your podcast). My question is how does the actual mechanics of drawing down from a pension work? Is there an equivalent of PAYE for pension draw downs? How is income tax calculated and collected? Would a tax return need to be done? Thanks so much!! Gavin 24:07 Question 6 I am approaching the Lifetime Allowance (used 91.43%) but my Armed Forces Pension tax-free amount I received was less than the 25% for the amount of LTA used ( 58.96%). I have a Transitional Tax Free Allowance Certificate to ensure I am still able to receive the maximum tax-free amount (£268,275). I have currently received £168,932.69 as a tax-free amount. In order to realise the maximum tax-free amount I will need to exceed the LTA by £259,143.76. Finally, I am still able to max out my contributions each year at £60,000 to help reduce my tax bill. If I continue to max out my contributions each year and exceed the LTA to realise the tax-free amount, what are the implications of this or should I consider paying the money into other investment accounts? Regards, Martin

Rose Rouse is the editor of the social enterprise Advantages of Age and Now magazine on Substack, which we founded together back in 2016 to challenge the media narrative around ageing. She also happens to be one of my good friends.We share many of the same views on ageing, believing that getting older doesn't mean being "past it." We both enjoy wearing flowers in our hair from time to time, shopping sustainably, exploring out-of-the-way places, and generally being curious about life.However, when it comes to relationships, we're quite literally miles apart. I prefer the men I'm involved with to be within a 30-minute to one-hour proximity, while Rose has been in a decade-long relationship with a man who lives about six hours away. I'm not very monogamous, whereas she is deeply monogamous.I thought it would be fun to explore what it's like to have a "living together apart" (LTA) relationship and how Rose has managed to make it work for so long—especially when health issues arise, for example. We ended up diving deep into the topic, so much so that by the end she said to me, “And we didn't even get to the sex part!”That's true—we didn't. So, I suspect we'll have to revisit that in another episode. (I try to stick to 30 minutes to keep things engaging and prevent boredom from setting in.)You can follow and subscribe to Rose's own Substack, thespirited70something.00:00 Introduction to Unique Relationships01:12 The Beginning of Rose and Asanga's Journey06:19 Maintaining Emotional Connection11:22 Balancing Independence and Commitment15:06 Celebrating a Decade Together19:38 Navigating Aging and Future Challenges24:04 Family Dynamics and Relationship Growth25:11 Mature Love and Personal Growth27:24 The Decision to Share a Bed30:54 Conclusion and Future PossibilitiesThousands of people are finally talking about intimacy, desire and pleasure without shame.

Being music fans (especially of a....ummm...certain age), we've all been in a record or CD store as a regular. I like to think that the best record stores I've been in are like walking into Cheers – everybody knows your name, and will treat you as family, be it dysfunctional or not. Welcome to episode 183 of Love That Album. I've been in small family record stores, big impersonal chains where the staff couldn't care less what your musical interests are, specialist record stores, stores run by grumpy guts (if you're in Melbourne, you may remember a shop that was far from paradise under its original owner) and stores run by welcoming staff who want to introduce their favourite bands into your life. Record stores are not like any other capitalist venture on the planet. Yes, you pay your money and come away with an “item”. Often, though, the interaction with the guy or gal behind the counter is like a meeting of the minds as you discuss why that band's last 3 albums fell below standard of the first 5, or why the album currently on the stereo is by an unknown guy you just HAVE to give your time to. Some stores have been known to challenge customers to walk around naked (it's true!!!), while others will have staff that roll their eyes as you ask for “that album by that guy......you know who I mean....ummm” I've decided to ask a dozen of my favourite podcasters / broadcasters / record shop owners / people I respect to join me on the show to tell me about their favourite memories of being or working in a record store. Yes, it's an exercise in nostalgia, but that shouldn't be a dirty word in this case. It's an opportunity to talk about a place that makes us happy or frustrated......but it's never dull like a night out at the supermarket. The first 5 of these correspondents joining me for separate conversations are: David Kowalski – host of The Sound and the Fury Podcast Brett Vargo – co host of Only Three Lads Podcast “Farmer” John Couture – host of the Vinyl Relics Podcast Pat Monaghan – owner of Rocksteady Records Brian Nankervis – co host of Rockwiz and The Friday Revue All 5 of these fine gents very graciously gave of their time and recollections for your and my entertainment and edification. Download, enjoy, and take comfort in the fact that in 2 weeks, more is coming your way on this topic. I highly recommend you search them all out in their regular ventures...they KNOW of what they speak.

Some stores have been known to challenge customers to walk around naked (it's true!!!), while others will have staff that roll their eyes as you ask for “that album by that guy......you know who I mean....ummm” I've decided to ask a dozen of my favourite podcasters / broadcasters / record shop owners / people I respect to join me on the show to tell me about their favourite memories of being or working in a record store. Yes, it's an exercise in nostalgia, but that shouldn't be a dirty word in this case. It's an opportunity to talk about a place that makes us happy or frustrated......but it's never dull like a night out at the supermarket. The first 5 of these correspondents joining me for separate conversations are: David Kowalski – host of The Sound and the Fury Podcast Brett Vargo – co host of Only Three Lads Podcast “Farmer” John Couture – host of the Vinyl Relics Podcast Pat Monaghan – owner of Rocksteady Records Brian Nankervis – co host of Rockwiz and The Friday Revue All 5 of these fine gents very graciously gave of their time and recollections for your and my entertainment and edification. Download, enjoy, and take comfort in the fact that in 2 weeks, more is coming your way on this topic. I highly recommend you search them all out in their regular ventures...they KNOW of what they speak. Download this episode of LTA from your podcast app of choice (not Spotify).

On Episode 396 of The Tennis Files Podcast, I interviewed coach Tom Allsopp about the secrets to power and consistency in tennis. Tom Allsopp is a tennis coach and the founder of TPA Tennis, a popular YouTube channel dedicated to helping players of all levels improve their tennis technique. With a passion for breaking down complex concepts, Tom offers in-depth tutorials on everything from footwork and ball control to mastering advanced strokes. He has worked with players of all ages for over 20 years, on three continents: England, Australia, and America. Although he has USTA and LTA qualification, he learned the most about coaching by having Keith Reynolds as his mentor. Tom's approach combines technical expertise with practical tips to help players develop a more effective and efficient game. On the show, you'll learn the key elements of a proper forehand grip for different types of shots, how to increase backhand depth and consistency, how to add more spin to your serve, how to improve reflexes and anticipation, and much more!

How many podcasts must a listener download before they can hear about Bob Dylan? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind......actually it's probably anytime you damn well like. Welcome to episode 182 of Love That Album podcast. There are tons of Bob Dylan specialist podcasts out there....why on earth would I feel the need to add to the contemplation and rumination about Bob already being discussed? A fair question....not one I'm sure I have the answer to. How's this? I love his second 1970 album New Morning, and so do my guests, Shane Pacey (maestro guitarist of the Bondi Cigars and Shane Pacey Trio) and Brett Vargo (of the Only Three Lads Podcast). There are people with doctorates earned for determining the religious subtext of Bob Dylan's “Can you Please Crawl Out your Window”.....we're not in that league. We're just three music lovers who have thoughts about Dylan's music, what the apparent meaning of a pineapple on your front lawn is, and, what the connection is between Dylan and Sesame Street Fever is....and we're not afraid to talk to you about it – have at it, Dylanophiles. We had a lot of fun discussing New Morning, an album that while generally liked, is not seen in the league of Highway 61 Revisited or Blood On The Tracks. Should it be? I don't think we answer that, but we give you plenty to pontificate on why the album deserves a place in any music lover's heart, not just Dylan fans. My gratitude to regular guest Shane Pacey....he took his place at the virtual table under difficult circumstances, and I appreciate him all the more for it. He's a regular on this show because he's brilliant with music discussion. You can find out all sort sorts of stuff about him at either https://bondicigars.com/ or https://shanepaceytrio.com.au/ I also express gratitude to first time (really second time, but don't let that confuse you) LTA guest Brett Vargo. Only 3 Lads is also part of the Pantheon Network of music discussion podcasts, and is compulsory listening for me every week (I'm not exaggerating...it really is).

We've come to the end of another year at LTA headquarters. Normally, I'd be doing a wrap up with friends in the music community as to their favourite discoveries of the year.......I wasn't feeling like doing that this year. If there's one thing that's consistent with this podcast, it's inconsistency. Welcome to episode 181 of Love That Album. For ages, I'd been wanting to put together a show to discuss a selection of records from the ECM label. ECM was started in 1969 by Manfred Eicher. The label started out dedicated to jazz exclusively, but it has branched out into classical recordings as well – no surprise seeing as Eicher was trained as a classical musician. ECM has been home to so many wonderful musicians....too many to include in what is effectively a sampler episode of its work. I have been glad to have made friends with a lovely fellow in the LTA Facebook group, Ed Ross. I've known two important things about him – he loves his puns (the more you groan, the more he feels his work is done), and he loves his music, particularly power pop and jazz. I approached him to see if he'd be interested in chatting with me on the show about four important ECM records, and was very happy when he agreed. As is LTA's way, there are many digressions and references to other artists and albums, but the intended focus is on these records: Keith Jarrett – The Koln Concert Pat Metheny Group – Offramp John Abercrombie – Timeless Gary Burton and Chick Corea – Crystal Silence If you're a longtime fan of ECM, don't ask why wasn't some other artist or album focused on....unless you're volunteering to join me for volume 2 of this series.....if you know nothing about the label, download, grab a beverage, and let Ed and myself tell you stories about broken pianos, guitars that sound like battle horns, and the greatest drummer in jazz (I won't hear any arguments about this). Huge thanks to Ed for making himself and his knowledge available for the show. First time guest – it won't be his last. BUT WAIT.....there's more. I'd asked the LTA FB group to send me their thoughts about their favourite ECM recordings. I received two emails from my long time friend Rani Gerszonovicz (who introduced ECM to me when we were in our early 20s) and last month's guest, author / musician Lisa Torem. I read their correspondences during the show, and Ed and I muse over their opinions. Thanks so much, Rani and Lisa. Download this episode of LTA from your podcast app of choice (not Spotify).
