Michael Cahill had his first race ride on Red Affro at an obscure race meeting at Gooloogong in 1979. The horse ran second but Michael says he was beaten by pilot error. Since then he's ridden with great skill to land a stunning total of 2600 winners in 4 jurisdictions. He's coming up 59, and would love to ride in races until age 60. In our recent interview he talks about the style his late father Ossie helped him to develop during his apprenticeship at Cowra. Michael explains his reason for wearing two sets of goggles when riding in races. He says rides are still plentiful but the good opportunities are not what they used to be. Michael looks back on a simple fall on the Sunny Coast in December 2021 which sidelined him for seven months. Remarkably he rode a winner at Doomben on his first day back. He says he had a good run for nine months before another race fall halted his progress. This time he was back in a month. Michael takes us back to early days at Cowra NSW when he and brother Matthew were apprenticed to their father Ossie. He says their careers were carefully guided. The talented jockey has never forgotten the occasion of his first race win at Orange on Melbourne Cup day 1980. He reflects on the dedication of his mother Margaret who had the job of driving him to race meetings all over the western districts. Michael talks of his sister Kathryn who combines her day job with the training of a small team of horses. The veteran jockey pays a final tribute to his father. He recalls a win at Canterbury on a Cowra trained horse which led to an approach from a very high profile trainer. Michael looks back on the highs and lows of his short stint in Sydney. He looks back on his two and a half years as track rider and race jockey for media icon Mike Willesee based at the Transmedia Park Stud at Cootamundra. Not surprisingly Michael came under the notice of the late Richard Freyer who had attained legendary status in the Riverina. He took the job and rode 70 winners in 18 months for the Freyer stable. Tired of bitterly cold winters, Michael jumped at the opportunity to ride at the Grafton and Coffs Harbour carnivals. He says the warmer climate changed his future plans. He looks back on a surprise offer from leading Queensland trainer Bruce McLachlan. Michael says he changed direction again when Gerald Ryan offered him a plum job on the Gold Coast. The jockey talks of his marriage to former English riding instructor Maxine Harris. He looks back on his first overseas riding contract in Singapore, and pays tribute to some top NZ jockeys who were there at the same time. Michael pays tribute to the brilliant Falvelon. He has no doubt the son of Alannon was the fastest horse he's ever ridden. Soon after his Doomben $10,000 win on Falvelon Michael accepted an offer to ride in Hong Kong. He talks of a first up win for John Moore. The jockey looks back on the circumstances that took him to Macau where he enjoyed a golden run. Michael talks of his Brisbane premiership win, and a narrow defeat in another. He talks of a Stradbroke win in 2005 for his great supporter Bevan Laming. Michael remembers wins in a Magic Millions 2YO Classic and a Winter Stakes now known as the Tatts Tiara. He remembers his nine rides on Victorian stayer Natural Blitz for trainer Doug Harrison. Michael talks of his association with NZ trainer Tony Pike which brought him a five win sequence on The Bostonian. The jockey reflects on a couple of stakes wins in Sydney, and a long list of Queensland black type wins. Michael talks of younger brother Matthew's recent return from injury. Former jockey Shane Dye has been very vocal lately about modern day jockey safety vests. He believes there are flaws in the design and Michael agrees with him. Michael speaks fondly of daughter Amelia and son Harry who is just now showing signs of wanting to follow in his father's footsteps. He closes with mention of his ambition to ride until age 60.

When Matthew Ames fell ill in June 2013, he thought he had just come down with the flu. And four doctors agreed, sending him home to rest. When the pain became unbearable, he took himself to hospital. Matthew had contracted a streptococcal infection that ravaged his body, leading to the amputation of both arms and both legs. Rather than dwell on what he'd lost, Matthew got on with rehabilitation and adjusting to his new normal, with his wife and four kids by his side. Mike Willesee met this incredible family in 2013.

Australia was scarred forever by the horrors at Port Arthur in 1996. 35 people died when Bryant ran amok with his arsenal of weapons at the busy tourist destination of Port Arthur in Tasmania. The appalling crime wounded many more, scarred the nation, shocked the world and changed us forever. For the first time, his lawyer, his psychiatrist and his girlfriend break their silence to reveal new insights into the criminal mind of Australia's worst mass murderer. But even more revealing is the video of the police interrogation of Bryant. Until this episode aired, it had never been shown outside court. Mike Willesee led this special investigation for Sunday Night. This episode originally aired in 2016. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There is a new push to legalise prostitution around Australia. But is selling sex just another job?

0:00:00 Introduction Richard Saunders 0:04:15 New Zealand Dowser Dollors Down Drain We interview the Chair of New Zealand Skeptics, Craig Shearer about how Wellington ratepayers are funding a pseudo-scientific method to find buried water pipes. The contractor, Downer and the Wellington City Council are not concerned at the public's perception their money has been spent on disproved science. Rather than use electronic equipment, a Downer contractor working on a Wellington City Council project used two copper rods to tell him where pipes lay. https://www.newsroom.co.nz/2019/03/06/471504/wellington-ratepayers-foot-bill-for-pseudo-science https://skeptics.nz 0:23:33 Mike Willesee, Skeptics Winner and Loser Australian journalist Mike Willesee has died at the age of 76 after a long battle with throat cancer.

While Corrie’s away in ‘Mother of the Groom’ mode, Anna from the Op-Shop and Caro’s daughter Rose come off the Interchange Bench for Episode 75 'Romance at the Op-Shop'. Caro shares the detail of her scary fire evacuation experience while hiking on the weekend which paled in comparison to some of the heartbreaking stories of loss emerging from bushfires in Gippsland in recent days.  The news of George Pell’s conviction last week has rocked the Catholic Church and the wider community to the core.  We pay tribute to journalist Louise Milligan who’s incredible reporting and writing about the case (including in her book Cardinal and Monday night’s Four Corners) has helped to expose the true toll of crimes that some, it would seem, seek to diminish. On a lighter note – we get an Op-Shop update from Anna where everyone's doing the 'Kondo, Kondo, Kondo' dance and there's more than a little romance in the air.  Caro’s 'Crush of the Week' is Rafael Nadal after he put Nick Kyrgios in his place, but she’s grumpy about what she sees is the AFL’s misguided investment in AFLX. In BSF – Anna and Rose jinx each other with an identical book recommendation for Normal People by Sally Rooney. Anna provides a rather brutal but honest review of the new Michael Caine film King of Thieves and she shares and easy and delicious duck salad recipe (recipe coming soon via our Facebook page). In ‘6 Quick Questions’ we remember Mike Willesee, get Rose’s millennial perspective on how much climate change issues could affect the next election and reminisce about Moomba memories. Rose shares a GLT, a fantastic free screening event at ACMI in Melbourne The Clock.  ***If you're in Melbourne on the morning of April 30th - SAVE THE DATE.

Mike Willesee, a giant of Australian life, has died. Geraldine's late husband and Eliza's step-Dad, Ian Carroll, worked closely with Mike Willesee during his career in journalism. Geraldine uses this opportunity to impart some of Willesee's wisdom. And finally, Eliza had a small parenting fail at school today.

It’s great to catch up with a jockey who’s been the ultimate professional for four decades. Michael Cahill was born into a great racing family at Cowra(NSW). He was probably resigned to the career of a bush jockey in his early days, but decided on a change of direction twenty two years ago. An offer from Bruce McLachlan initially took him to Queensland, and he’s been among Brisbane’s top jockeys ever since. In part 1 of the podcast Michael talks of his strong family background in racing, and his first taste of the big smoke. He recalls his time working at Mike Willesee’s Trandmedia Stud, and a stint as stable jockey for top Riverina trainer Richard Freyer.
