POPULARITY
Welcome to episode 404 of The Adelaide Show, and today we're celebrating craft, both in whisky and in cars, with a touch of blues to finish off. Our main guest today is Paul Burnett, distiller at 23rd Street Distillery in Renmark. Paul has taken the reins at this iconic South Australian distillery and continues to build on its legacy, with two of their whiskies recently taking gold at The Spirits Business Luxury Masters 2024. We'll be tasting their award-winning Australian Whisky and Australian Single Malt Whisky. But before we get too far into the glass, we'll shift gears into the world of automotive detailing with Matthew Gibb, a.k.a. ‘The Pad King'. Matthew, from Matt's Magic Detail Tech, has been transforming cars for over 30 years, and with the Bay to Birdwood this weekend, it's the perfect time to learn about the art of keeping classic cars in pristine condition. Whether you're a car enthusiast or just appreciate the love and care that goes into preserving a piece of history, Matthew's insights into the detailing world are bound to be fascinating. And as always, we'll round things off with our Musical Pilgrimage, where this week, we feature a track from Adelaide's very own Mojo Dingo. Their song, So Refined, blends modern blues and funky rhythms, and we'll explore how they've made waves on the local music scene, catching the ear of industry insiders. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of your favourite South Australian spirit, and enjoy a journey through whisky, cars, and music!

Running Sheet: Polish Those Bay To Birdwood Cars And Polish Off That Australian Whisky With A Dash Of Blues 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:03:05 SA Drink Of The Week The South Australian Drinks Of The Week this week are from 23rd Street Distillery. In this episode, we have the privilege of tasting not one but two stellar whiskies from 23rd Street Distillery. Joining us is distiller, Paul Burnett, the man behind the magic. Well, he admits he inherited some magic when he joined the Renmark operation two years ago. We're doing this tasting because at The Spirits Business Luxury Masters 2024, their Australian Whisky, triumphed in the World Whisky – Super-Premium category, and their Australian Single Malt Whisky, took gold in the Ultra-Premium category. 00:26:05 Matthew Gibb, The Pad King and Matt's Magic Detail Tech Just ahead of Sunday's Bay To Birdwood, we're joined by Matthew Gibb, the mastermind behind Matt's Magic, a professional detailer with over 30 years of experience in the automotive detailing world. Matthew's journey began in 1993, transforming his humble Suzuki Swift into a showstopper, and since then, he's been pushing the boundaries of detailing with cutting-edge technologies. As Bay to Birdwood enthusiasts know, keeping classic cars in pristine condition is about more than just appearances—it's a dedication to preserving history and craftsmanship. Matthew's passion for perfection, much like that of the event's participants, celebrates both the art and science of automotive care. Whether you're an enthusiast or simply curious about the world of detailing, today's conversation will offer a glimpse into how Matthew has transformed his love for cars into a career at the forefront of the industry. 01:11:21 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature So Refined by Mojo Dingo. Steve dubs them as not 12-bar blues, or 16-bar blues, or 8-bar blues, but just pure BAR blues. Matt Cahill from Paper Rock Scissors records agrees, noting that although they're standard 12-bar blues, the thing about them is that ‘to me' they seem to be an almost perfect blend of blues & catchy pop/rock. Matt had never been a fan of the Blues, until the very first time he saw these guys and signed them to his label that evening. Mojo Dingo is a modern blues funk band hailing from Adelaide, Australia. The hardworking and dynamic group has earned its stripes on the live circuit, supporting world-renowned guitarist Josh Smith and fellow Aussie icons The Bondi Cigars.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sagebrush once stretched across almost 500,000 square miles from the Dakotas to California. Each year, a million acres is lost to invasive species, catastrophic wildfire, development, improper grazing and climate change. Matt Cahill is the director of the Sagebrush Sea program for The Nature Conservancy. Matt advocates that scientific solutions and large-scale collaboration are needed to reverse the trend in sagebrush. We talk with Matt about what is being done to save this vital landscape.
Matt Cahill is the Sagebrush Sea Program Director for the Nature Conservancy. Based out of Bend, Oregon, Matt leads all of TNC's critical work restoring, managing, and protecting sagebrush habitat across six western states. This is a huge and complex effort– it combines protection and policy work with ground-breaking restoration advances, public and industry partnerships, and local community projects. But as you'll hear in this conversation, Matt is optimistically leaning into the challenge and making great strides to protect this uniquely Western ecosystem. - To give you some context into the vastness of North America's sagebrush ecosystem, it spans 150 million acres and is home to 350 rare, threatened, and endangered species. Since 1998, 14 million acres of sagebrush ecosystems have been lost, and currently, we're losing approximately one million acres to invasive species, catastrophic wildfires, development, improper grazing, and climate change. 70% of the Sagebrush Sea is found on public lands, so efforts to protect, manage, and restore the ecosystem are dependent on creative, action-oriented public-private partnerships. Again, Matt is leading a huge and complex effort! - In this episode, we start our conversation by discussing why the Sagebrush Sea is important, and why even people who live far from the ecosystem should care about it. We discuss the history of the threats to sagebrush and do a deep dive into the specific threat of cheatgrass– a true scourge on the landscapes of the West. We discuss the ecology of sagebrush, how TNC measures success when it comes to protecting such a fragile ecosystem, and the importance of partnering with ranchers. We talk about the efficacy of for-profit approaches to restoration, collaboration with government agencies, and specific cutting-edge approaches to restoration. Matt also explains his career trajectory that led him from the East Coast to becoming obsessed with sagebrush, and he offers several great book recommendations. - Be sure to check out the episode notes for links to everything we discuss, including a few videos and writings by Matt that will provide even more context into this nuanced issue. Thanks to Matt and his team for all of their hard work, and thank you for listening. Hope you enjoy. --- Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/matt-cahill --- This episode is brought to you in partnership with the Colorado chapter of The Nature Conservancy.

When Shaun Micallef pulled up stumps after 10 years of Mad As Hell last year, the writers in the team had to start looking for work. One of those writers, who was part of 13 of the 15 seasons, David M Green, is an Adelaidean whose life has been dedicated to pursuing the craft of comedy. He joins us to share some great insights into writing, the nature of comedy, and the workings of a weekly comedy show. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, Matt Cahill returns with a new Evoletah song.

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page Running Sheet: Cunnos, Comedy, And Micallef With David M Green 00:00:00 Intro One of our former guests, Caroline Rowe, whose episode was, I Wouldn't Be A Baker If I Couldn't Eat The Cakes, has just launched in interesting quiz on her website that helps you identify your inner cook, so you can start the process of getting more confidence in the kitchen. During this week, while she's testing it, you'll find it on her homepage at carolinerowe.com. She'd love you to make use of it and the resources it points you too. Also, Steve is working with some university students on a project focussing on the City of Adelaide and would dearly love you to fill in one or both of their surveys today or within the next few days. As a thank you, when you complete the surveys you can opt to go into the draw for a $50 ByAdl voucher and a $30 Rundle Mall voucher! The first one reflects on living in, working in, or visiting the city: Resident/Visitor survey The second one is perfect if you work in the city but have had changes in where you work brought about by Covid: Working from home survey Ideally, they need you input by Saturday, May 27, 2023. 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week There is no featured drink this week. 00:05:31 David M Green In recent years, there have been only two shows that have given me my money's worth in paying for the ABC. The first is Mediawatch. The second was Mad As Hell. So when Shaun Micallef pulled the plug late in 2022 after 10 years and 15 seasons, I was left, well, Mad As Hell. One of the people who created the magic behind the scenes was a comedian and comedy writer from Adelaide, David M Green. He was invited onto the show by Shaun for season 3 and he stayed there until season 15 in 2022. Some might say that gig was a long way from his humble beginnings of producing the Channel 31 show, Good Afternoon Adelaide, in between popping down grab some bargains at Cunnos. David, welcome. Link to David's website: David M Green Link to David's youtube channel: David M Green on YouTube The movie referred to is not Mad Men or similar with Dustin Hoffman but rather Crazy People with Dudley Moore. Crazy People David, you might be pleased to know that even though I don't have a team of writers, I did revise my intro a few times. I'd like your opinion on one of the early drafts: After mentioning Micallef's decision to end the show I had this sentence: For Mad As Hell comedian and writer, David M Green, the end of the show meant he had to find a new gig so that he could continue being paid to release his Kraken (and by that, I mean, joke crackin'). Yes, I've opened this interview with a Bill Shorten-style zinger. Talk to me about revisions. I imagine gags and jokes follow some sort of arc. Can you tell me what the life cycle of a joke was like at Mad As Hell? Something I find intriguing and disturbing is that News Corp and many other outlets have twisted and ransacked journalism so much, that I find I get most of my news sense from comedy and satire programs like The Bugle, The BBC News Quiz, and Mad As Hell. Did you have any sense that you were helping us distill the silliness and the context of news in your comedy? Use by dates are severe in political writing. When I was a journo, I lived and breathed in the news cycle to the extent that it overtook my life. Did you need to be a news junkie to write for Mad As Hell? We'll be back in a moment, to talk about comedy through Covid, the limits of comedy, and Cunningham Warehouse Sales That is a classic ad that you wrote for Mad As Hell. There were many nutjobs and deluded people swanning around with various conspiracy theories during Covid. In fact, it was like covid became an incubator for lunacy. Were they easy gags or did you get some pushback? This brings me to the question of "the line". You reference online that you are quite the nerd, so I want to nerd it up for a moment and create a quadrant. From dry to the opposite, and safe to daring, where do you sit now, and where have you sat? This might be a good time to talk TJs three jokes because we've been talking about crafting some Division 12 footy players Woman wiht axe in car Armed robbery at supoermarket Protester dangling A truck driver safely swerving all over the road The Crows doing pies in faces One of the main triggers for doing the quadrant was this Good Afternoon Adelaide visit by Santa (cancer and dead dad). What's your reaction to hearing that again. Let's turn to the VHS Revue. Some points for discussion include: Cunninghams Warehouse Sales SA Great Commercial Lots of sung jingles including Southern Music Centre about Organs - we can make them big or make them small Force Electronics with paper money Monday Morning Movie Why do VHS Revue nostalgia? Just fun, or important? What is next for a career in the arts? I want to finish with some Mad As Hell highlights: The 2019 wrong episode Your favourite character Favourite moment with shaun Most memorable moment Would you have done anything different 01:16:27 Musical Pilgrimage You might recall our special episode with Matt Cahill, reliving the history of the band, The Violets. One of his other projects, which had been brought to our attention by radionotes with John Murch, is Evoletah. They've just released a new son, Calliope Dream, and Matt tells me there's a new album on the way, too. This is a nice mellow end to the show which should transform us from mad as hell to mellow as the Ancient Greek heavans where Calliope was a muse to the Greek poets.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Acclaimed National Geographic photographer and filmmaker Pete McBride will be speaking at an event hosted by the Park City Community Foundation's Climate Fund this month. Then, Matt Cahill of The Nature Conservancy talks about the various factors contributing to the sagebrush sea's reduction to half of its historical range.
On this week's Richard Crouse Show we meet Matt Cahill. He has a private practice and is a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and is a writer whose debut novel, “The Society of Experience,” was picked as a must-read by Harper's Bazaar magazine. His short stories have been widely published and his essay “On Madness Within Imagination” was selected for Best Canadian Essays 2017. His new book, “Radioland,” is a mesmerizing literary thriller, where music, fame and magic wind together in an eerie mystery. Then, Robert Harris, bestselling author of “Fatherland,” “The Ghostwriter,” “Munich” and “Conclave.” His new novel, “Act of Oblivion,” is an historical novel that brilliantly imagines one of the greatest manhunts in history: the search for two Englishmen involved in the killing of King Charles I and the relentless foe on their trail. Then, word legend gets kicked around a lot, but in this case it really fits. Stan Lee made an indelible mark on popular culture by co-creating some of the most popular characters in comic books. Without him there'd be no superheroes like Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, Black Panther and the list goes on and on. He is a legend and I got the chance to speak with him on the phone a couple of years before he passed away in 2018. He was in fine form, it's a really fun interview and I wanted to share it with you again.
To celebrate the release of their newest album, Tim and David speak to the frontman of Adelaide based, The Violets, to uncover what it is like to come back to a passion project after years of hibernation.

The supplement industry is another billion dollar market that's entwined in the wellness industry. Body builders, professional athletes, to the every day person probably uses supplements. It's even reported that half of the U.S. population is taking some type of supplement— see the end for sources. Supplements have their place, but are not a substitute for food. They're also not regulated by the FDA. This means supplements are not held to the same quality control standards as food and drugs. Matt Cahill, the founder of Craze pre-workout, is a prime example of taking advantage of a non-regulated market. You might have heard of the meth-like substance found in Craze pre-workout back in 2012, when athletes started failing drug tests and reports of liver damage where associated with the pre-workout. If not here's the story, and the stories of those impacted, along with my expert advice when it comes to navigating the supplement industry. References: Cohen PA, Travis JC, Venhuis BJ.

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page Running Sheet: Writing wedding vows 00:00:00 Intro Introduction to the show. 00:04:44 SA Drink Of The Week This week's SA Drink Of The Week is Run With The Hunted, a limited release wine from McLaren Vale, bottled by Matt Cahill as part of his musical album of the same name from his music collaboration project, Evoletah. 00:08:52 Anne and Dion If you had eggs for breakfast today, there's a darn good chance they were produced by DAYS Eggs, South Australia's largest egg producer. The story behind this farm's production of this humble source of protein is fascinating. So I thought I'd ask the owners, Dion and Anne Andary, to join me to scratch around and peck at all the various topics related to chickens and eggs. Welcome. As I was planning for this interview, I asked myself, what topic should come first; the chickens or the eggs? I was tempted to start wtih chickens because so much of the egg story these days is focussed on their welfare but then I remembered that eggs have had a chequered history, especially in the west, so I'd love to hatch our story there. Dion and Anne, you started Days Eggs in 1987. What was the nutritional and public health status of eggs at that time? In fact, Jason Gosseck, writing in Medium, recalled growing up amid the cholestrol scare of the 80s and how the price of eggs plummeted and how his dad doubled down and they had eggs every meal. How did it play out in your world? Anne, I believe you did most of the sales work in the early days. Who was buying and what was involved? Have you noticed any changes in egg consumption over the years? Fitness junkies with raw eggs, the brunch culture, the "egg whites good, egg yolks bad" movement, etc? How are most of your eggs sold today - supermarkets, commercial trade, etc? For a long time, I never cooked eggs at home, even though I loved having poached eggs when out? I just didn't like the eggy smell when doing dishes. Bizarre! Now I have an egg poacher. How do you cook eggs? Any tips? We're recording here at Lower Light/Two Wells, which is the headquarters of Days Eggs. Can you take us through the story of how you outgrew your first base and then bought up other farms as they became available? I'd like to turn to hen welfare now because even this morning in our BnB at Claire, they provided eggs and I recoiled when I saw Cage Eggs. So let's walk through Cage Eggs, Barn Laid Eggs, and Free Range Eggs, because each have their pros and cons. People argue Free Range leads to happy chickens. How do you know when a chicken is happy? 00:56:48 Musical Pilgrimage In the musical pilgrimage, we have Don't Feel Down by Libby Donovan. Before we get there, though, I want to bring in Amelia Ryan's "other half" Zac Tyler, who is another arts professional, known by many for his work with the artistic directors of the Adelaide Caberet Festival (Kate Ceberano, Barry Humphries, Ali McGregor and Eddie Perfect). He now runs his own company, Release Creative, who have gone on to create Barossa Contemporary, a multi-disciplinary arts festival in the Barossa Valley, and he's also worked with Amelia to create Seasonal Sessions, a weekend of intriguing song, story, and cabaret at the Woodville Town Hall, May 6, 7, 8 2022. The weekend kicks off with local original music on Friday May 6 at 8.00pm and on Saturday May 7 at 6.00pm will feature a celebration of Australia's pioneering women of pop and rock starring Amelia Ryan and Adelaide Cabaret Festival 2022 Icon Award winner Libby O'Donovan in UNSUNG. At 8.00pm Charmaine Jones and the GOSPO Collective deliver the classic Aretha Franklin standards in Soul Serenade - The Aretha Legacy. On Sunday 8 May at 3.00pm, the acclaimed writer Clementine Ford and her bestie, Libby O'Donovan, deliver a secular sermon that mines matters of the heart in Love Sermon. But, back to the interview with Zac, let's get the goss out the way. Of the Cabaret Festival directors you worked with, who is most memorable and why? What is this arts festival in the Barossa? What does cabaret bring to the table that other art forms don't?

The Violets, the darlings of Triple J and Music SA in the 90s return with a new album This is a bumper Easter edition full of audio easter eggs!

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page Running Sheet: The Violets rise again 00:00:00 Intro Introduction to the show. 00:06:00 SA Drink Of The Week This week's SA Drink Of The Week is a new, award-winning gin from Frankly Gin. And Steve was lucky enough to do a tasting with one of the co-founders, Bernie Woods. 00:12:28 Matt Cahill, The Violets I like to write my own introductions to interviews but the wordsmithery I've found online for the subject of this interview, the band The Violets, is so sublime, I'm just going to use it verbatim: From the day they first formed in Adelaide, back in 1990, The Violets were an enigma. Created from a fusion of shimmering guitar lines, sonic abstraction and an almost cinematic vision, they smashed together light and dark, and made beautiful agony dance cheek to cheek with pretty mystery. It was pop, it was prog, it was flat out indie rock but it was never quite like anything else. And I think we'll discover that our guest today is quite like nobody else, singer/songwriter, guitarist, producer: Matt Cahill. Before we start plucking the petals of the flower that is the story of the band and of the music industry, let's stop and smell The Violets with Mary who? MARY WHO? This is where I start with a confession. I just wasn't around in Australia in the 90s. I was living and working in Hungary and then moved to England (yes, dear listener, Alexis Cattely. take a sip - he has a drinking game based on how often I bring my time working for Radio Budapest into the conversation). As a result, the 90s really is a dark area in the map of my musical memory. That applies to everyone, for example, I only just discovered The Cat Empire in time for their goodbye concert. So, I am coming to this interview with no nostalgia, with no common points of reference, so I'll apologise in advance for any awkward questions. That said, I have recently been introduced to The Violets with your re-release of Leased Regret, and a special preview copy of your new album, Smoke, Mirrors, And Other Half-Truths, and I've become quite smitten. And because of your dramatic history from early success and Triple J airplay, then record company signings, then record company feuds, then the band dissolving, then the band reforming 20 years later, I feel like we have a rare opportunity for some musical palaeontology to help us deeply understand the workings of a band and the music industry. So, Matt, can you take us to the beginning and piece together how The Violets came to be? What did rehearsals look like? (And sound like to neighbours) It's very common for people to suffer from Imposter Syndrome and self-sabotage their creative desires (doubt their intrinsic qualities and vision). What was the internal journey like when it came to sticking your head up above the trenches and risking judgement by music lovers and entertainment power brokers? So, what would you nominate as your first "break"? Would that involve the song, Ain't Love Grand? AIN'T LOVE GRAND I recall watching the biopics of Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash and in at least one of them, they capture the moment when these fledgling icons first heard their music being played on the radio. Can you describe what it was like hearing The Violets on Triple J for the first time? And do you remember where you were and what you were doing? Tell us about the South Australian Music Awards. What's the process and what was the experience like? Does a music award and airplay have a psychological effect in the writing process? Does it start making you double-think yourself (if that's a term)? Here's my naive observations of 90s music. We had simple harmony vocals and drum/guitar/keyboard/(sometimes brass) in early country/folk/blues, then rock and roll simplified and made the sounds harder with some doses of strong hooks. Then things got more experimental as backing tracks and layers came to the fore in the late 60s early 70s. Then we got more sophisticated, clearer production sounds (big sounds) in the 70s (along with the emergence of glam and a smattering of punk). Then the 80s really brought high power and rock and roll and/or electric music to the fore (some of the sickly songs from the 50s and 60s were recreated or evolved but with modern sound engineering). Then the 90s. I see electric "fake" sounds dumped in favour of dirty, murky, emotional, throaty, frenzied masses of guitars, a token set of drumlines, and vocalisation that was not so much focussed on the lyrics but on the sound of the voice. You could say, there was a trance like quality to the 90s sound, punctuated and differentiated by little crumbs of vocal quirks to satisfy our desire for some confection amid this serious mining of frustration and expression. Your reactions? Some examples: Somewhere has that hook - somewhere in the back of my mi-iind (play snippet) Are golden hooks like that planned when you write the song, or do they emerge in the studio, or can they sometimes be the prime idea? NERO - has that really full throttle, guitar intensity (play snippet) Does that feel good just going full bore? Mood seems to be given its due in the 90s, especially the mood of despair or melancholy. Can you explain why? Or am I misinterpreting things? There is a raw honesty, an open reflection in some of your songs that lets us get closer to your inner world that we might expect to be possible in polite society. Pretty Hate Machine is very self-critical, almost confessional. Can you take us through that writing journey? PRETTY HATE MACHINE Everything's going great for The Violets. You were a touring/recording act from Adelaide that was signed to Phantom Records for 13 years and then you secured a deal with KRELL/SHOCK records. Amazing. But that giddy height was where you became embroiled in a Record Label war, ultimately leading to you playing your last show in 2001. I can hardly imagine how bittersweet that must have been, walking away from such an enriching enterprise. Can you take us through that time? What did you do in your "in between" years? Our listeners will know of Evoletah (you can hear one of your tracks in episode 323, Run With The Hunted. Last year, you re-engineered and re-released your first album, Leased Regret. How and why did that come about? What was it like writing new songs together? We've already featured one of the songs from your new album, Sideways - which you can hear in episode 348 - but the first track I'd like to play from Smoke, Mirrors, And Other Half-Truths, is called Love Lies In The Rain. And the reason I want to start with this is because when you sent me the link to the album and I was listening while cooking, I found my random email sent to you while in my apron and with the sizzling of the oven behind me. I wrote: "Love Lies In The Rain is a stand out to me." Shall we set this song up? LOVE LIES IN THE RAIN Discussion about the artwork for the video for Sideways. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGlsndZ-9-o Something I noted was how evocative this album is of my vague recollections of 90s music but also hints of some of the more complex 80s sounds (I'm thinking early Cure, Simple Minds, early U2). There's a noisy quality that is for your ears what scrambly busy artwork is like for the eyes; it demands stillness and application and rewards those who sit with it. Is that fair? Having said that, one thing I note in the new album is how much the "noise" aspect is actually more refined; we have more definition of the specific instruments and voice. Is that just a moving of the style, or is it about modern recording techniques? April's Fool, from the new album, is an example of the delicate qualities in this album. It has modern, adult music, but the lyrics contain snatches of kids' rhymes and allusions. Can you whet our appetites for it? APRIL'S FOOD It's 2022, how are things sitting? Given the long break and the curse of biology, you guys are older than many of the other bands vying for "ear" time. Do you think that will influence your experience over the next few years because US commentator and comedian, Bill Maher, recently said to the 90 year old William Shatner, that ageism is the one remaining discrimination that our society turns a blind eye to? Something else I'd love your comment on is the band name. I've found a UK band with the same name and a young band from WA called The Violets that seems to have started in the early naughties while you guys were in hibernation. Does that cause any confusion? Where and how can people support you? Finally, I found another quote from a random email I sent you while cooking and listening to your album: All Went South is brilliant- am thinking of a full episode actually. Watch this space. Well, we have not only watched this space, but we've filled it with story and music. Thank you, Matt Cahill. Would you mind doing the honours and introducing the song that will take us out? ALL WENT SOUTH 01:28:18 Musical Pilgrimage In the musical pilgrimage, we're going to listen to a couple of tracks from a new album featuring Professor Flint and Gemma Dandie, These Curious Things. The tracks we'll hear are, My Dog, Trey, and the title track, These Curious Things. Michael Mills shares some of the back story and Gemma shares what working with Michael is REALLY like ;-) Here's the best link for this project: Professor Flint linktree link.

It's the 26th of January and amid much reflection on Australia's history and South Australia's history, it became clear that we've had one omission throughout this community project known as The Adelaide Show. Even though our full theme song about Adelaide acknowledges the Kaurna people, we have never done an acknowledgement of country at the start of our episodes. That changes today. Caitlin Davis, one of our voiceover angels, has recorded it for us and all future episodes will begin with it. In today's episode, we have slice of what a South Australia Day looks like. In the SA Drink Of The Week, we taste Green Ant Gin produced by Something Wild, an Indigenous-owned company supplying Indigenous produce. With the Adelaide Fringe upon us, we hear Steve Davis interviewed by local media legend, Mark Aiston, about Steve's upcoming one-man show, A Lunchtime MBA. Please do something different this Fringe; take a slightly extended lunch break and hop into Treasury 1860 for an hour of laughter based on business principles. Oh, and you'll leave with an MBA certificate! Then we'll hear a little about the story of the Prairie Hotel, right up in the Flinders Ranges at Parachilna. Steve had a chance to sit down with Jane Fargher to get the story of the pub that stretches decades in a landscape that reflects millions of years of change. We also had an interview with Glenn Shorrock, no, not that one, the one from Sterlows Sheds and Structures at Stirling North, Port Augusta. Glenn's a dynamic bloke who's creating a new construction initiative in the region, as well as in Adelaide. However, dust got in the way. More details in the show. And thanks to fellow podcaster, John Murch of the Radionotes Podcast, we've been introduced to Matt Cahill from local band, Evoletah, and we get to hear a new song from them.
