Podcasts about New South Wales

In this episode of the ZenRUN Podcast, I chat with Jason Phillips – a runner whose journey into endurance running has been shaped by resilience, adventure, and some deeply personal challenges. Jason grew up in a sailing family near Newcastle in New South Wales. Boats, windsurfing, and life around the water were a huge part of his childhood. Running, on the other hand… not so much. In fact, as a kid he was a sprinter and absolutely hated cross-country running. Fast forward a few decades and Jason has found himself drawn to longer distances and big adventures. But his running journey hasn't been straightforward. In 2024 Jason was diagnosed with prostate cancer, which led to surgery and a long road back to fitness. During that time he lost a lot of the speed and conditioning he'd built over the years, and had to start again almost from scratch. Instead of giving up, Jason decided to channel his energy into something meaningful. He organised a run of the Cape to Cape Track in Western Australia, finishing on Anzac Day, raising funds and awareness for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. And now he's preparing for an even bigger challenge – the Delirious WEST 100 miler. This race carries a deeply personal reason. Jason is running it to raise funds and awareness for the Liver Foundation, after his father Brian passed away suddenly last year from liver cancer. It's a powerful reminder of how running can become more than just a sport. Sometimes it becomes a way to process grief, honour loved ones, and do something positive in the face of life's hardest moments. Jason also shares what it's really like to rebuild fitness after illness – including starting again with very simple training and learning to trust the slow process of base building. This conversation is honest, raw, and incredibly inspiring. Why You'll Love This Episode • Growing up in a sailing family and discovering running later in life • Why Jason hated cross-country running as a kid (and how that changed) • His prostate cancer diagnosis and the long road back to running • Running the Cape to Cape Track to raise awareness for prostate cancer • Training again from scratch after surgery • Why he's running the Delirious WEST 100 miler to honour his father Tips from Jason • Start small and build gradually. Even experienced runners sometimes need to go right back to basics. • Don't rush fitness after illness or injury. The body needs time to rebuild. • Slow training builds the foundation. Jason spent months running very slowly to rebuild his aerobic base. • Trust the process. Progress can feel frustratingly slow – until one day it suddenly starts to click. Jason's story is a beautiful reminder that running isn't just about races or times. Sometimes it's about healing, honouring people we love, and simply putting one foot in front of the other.

Adriana Forte is a Brazilian-born writer, facilitator, and developmental thinker currently based in a rural intentional community in Bellingen, New South Wales, Australia. Originally trained as a journalist, Adriana has spent years investigating the intersection of women's cyclical biology, embodied knowing, and the structures of modern life. She runs retreats and workshops through her Substack platform C-Lab (A Lab for a Cyclically Informed Society), and is currently completing a book on the spell of modernity and the role of the matriarch as a force for cultural repair.________________In this conversation, James sits down with Adriana to explore one of the most under-examined questions in contemporary culture: what happens when society is built around a linear, continuous model of productivity — and half the population runs on a fundamentally cyclical one? Drawing on her own journey from Brazil through Hong Kong and India to off-grid life in rural Australia, Adriana maps the hormonal landscape of the female cycle and argues that the oscillation between estrogen and progesterone doesn't just produce moods — it produces a distinct mode of subjectivity, perception, and thought. We explore the cultural erasure of rites of passage, the psychological costs of the contraceptive pill, the wisdom encoded in perimenopause and menopause, and why Adriana believes the matriarch — the post-menopausal woman — may be the missing counter-energy to the relentless forward drive of modernity. The conversation moves through evolutionary biology, embodied philosophy, grassroots community-building, and genuine hope for a more rhythmically intelligent future.________________You can find Adriana's work at:Substack (C-Lab): https://theclab.substack.com/________________⏳ Timestamps:0:00 Intro - Our Bellingen Connection5:41 How Adriana ended up on this journey12:56 Critique of Modernity and Birth Interventions15:23 Rhythms and female psychology24:38 A map of the menstrual cycle39:11 The Influence of Modernity on Women's Psyche45:59 Transgender and phenomenology of hormones52:01 The oscillating nature of female psychology59:25 The spell of the System on modern psychology1:09:15 The challenge of organising around cyclical society1:15:03 Adriana's Matriarch Book1:18:43 Where to get more from Adriana1:19:39 Adriana's Guest Recommendation

When I heard David Seymour talking up the potential of New Zealand's medicinal cannabis industry, I was immediately transported to a world where the Far North was once again a thriving powerhouse of the New Zealand economy, as it used to be. Where bright young people could get meaningful jobs without having to leave home, where once again New Zealand's brilliant scientists combined with primary producers, just as they do in agriculture, to innovate and disrupt. Now, I realise I was getting a little ahead of myself, but only a bit. The medicinal cannabis export business is growing. A Ministry of Health paper released under the Official Information Act showed we exported more than a tonne of cannabis flower in 2024. That document was obtained by Newstalk ZB and showed that was more than double the 485.6 kilograms exported in 2023 So, you know, there is potential for growth there. I had the pleasure of visiting ANTG's cannabis growing facility in Armidale in New South Wales towards the end of last year. I had no idea what I was expecting to see when I went to see a cannabis growing lab, but it was just like visiting a high-level medical research lab, which is what it is. It's not a couple of old stoners growing some weed in the back garden. The security is military level. The level of hygiene and sanitation is exactly as you'd expect to see in a medical laboratory. Before you go in to where the bud has been dried and then is taken off the plant and put into the sterilised capsules to be sent off to its buyers, you have to go into a hermetically sealed room and then you have to put on outerwear and outer shoes and masks and then you can only go through one at a time. You're not allowed to pick anything up or put anything in your pocket. When you come back, you have to take off your outerwear. Like, it's the full rig. It's a full operation, as it should be. There's an entire research branch where you've got young graduates and young doctorate young people going through their doctorates working on they're either working in medicine, alternative therapies, horticulture, so there's a wide range of skills where they've been given research grants to either come up with ways of alleviating common conditions, get more out of the plant itself, find new ways of growing that are more that need less electricity or, you know, less of the anyway, it was amazing. I can't even begin to explain what I saw. Unless you've seen it, you probably unless you have been to something like this, you probably wouldn't appreciate the level of sophistication, the level of technology, the level of security that goes into exporting cannabis. We're so used to seeing cannabis as a way of gangs making money and people being sent to jail and it being something dirty and underhand. It's a complete reset of your thinking when you see it in this particular setting and this particular environment. In an interview, Seymour noted that people have said the industry could be the new high value export similar to New Zealand's wine industry. He said medicinal cannabis is some people's drug of choice and they're prepared to pay a lot of money for it. New Zealand could become, just as we are with wine, a high value powerhouse. He said the Government was looking to give exporters more permanent licenses to reduce red tape and bureaucracy and saw the rise in exports as a positive for the New Zealand economy. We need to get money into the country. Not everybody likes this stuff, but there is definitely a market for it, Seymour said. I would venture to suggest that not everybody likes the idea of cannabis being sold as a recreational drug. Some people really don't like that. Some people don't like the stuff because it's gang currency. Some people don't like the stuff because there are turf wars over it. But that's illegal cannabis. What we're talking about is medicinal cannabis, which is a whole universe away from the underhand drug dealing that goes on and is undertaken by gangs. This is next level with doctors, with scientists, with horticulturalists, with exporters putting their back into it and turning it into a billion-dollar industry. I think Seymour's quite right. I think we need to get absolutely in behind it and the very areas that would grow it best, where the investment should be, are the areas that need the jobs and the economic boost the most. The place I visited in New South Wales is just one of many, but is in a small rural area. Their primary industry appears to be private schools where farmers' daughters can take themselves and their ponies and be educated. And apart from that, it's medicinal cannabis. And it keeps really bright young minds in the district. There's a university there and the really bright ones get the research grants to be able to stay and work on cures for epilepsy and irritable bowel syndrome. There's a whole range of things they're working on. So I'm all for it. I see a golden future or a green-gold future. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Donald Trump says he's liberated the people of Iran to forge their own future, after killing their autocratic leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. But as the bombing continues and any organised resistance struggles to emerge, is this ethnically diverse land, with thousands of years of history, at risk of breaking up or descending into sectarian division? Nahid Siamdoust of the University of Texas specialises in the politics and culture of the Middle East. She's also part of the Iranian diaspora.Acclaimed journalist Robin Wright of The New Yorker covered Iran from the start of the 1979 revolution, which brought the first ayatollah, Ruhollah Khomeini, to power.  She's sceptical that the United States and Israel can bring change through aerial bombardment.As the regime in Iran fell, a handful of Shia Muslim communities in Australia went into mourning for the Ayatollah, drawing criticism from New South Wales premier Chris Minns. Khamenei was a brutal autocrat, but he was also a spiritual leader to many Shi'ites. Is it the role of the state to decide who a religious community can mourn?  Dr Renae Barker specialises in law and religion at the University of Western Australia law.

Buying in regional New South Wales used to feel like the “safe” alternative—cheaper prices, less competition, and fewer moving parts. But according to buyer's agent Matt Ward, those assumptions no longer hold.In this episode, we unpack how regional NSW property markets have fundamentally changed since COVID, and why buyers who rely on old advice are getting caught out.Matt shares what he's seeing on the ground in towns like Orange and across regional NSW—from rising prices and tight stock to increased competition from investors and city-based buyers. We dive into why regional doesn't automatically mean affordable anymore, how street-by-street differences can make or break a purchase, and why buying remotely without local insight is one of the biggest risks buyers are taking right now.You'll also hear practical guidance on how first home buyers can still make regional buying work: how to prepare properly, what to prioritise when competition is fierce, and the types of due diligence that matter more in regional areas than most people realise. From flood risk and termites to boundary issues and buyer blind spots, this episode highlights what buyers often don't know until it's too late.If you're considering buying in regional NSW—whether as your first home or a stepping stone into the market—this episode will help you approach the process with clearer expectations, smarter strategies, and fewer regrets.Episode Highlights01:21 — Meet Matt Ward: Regional Market Insights02:46 — Affordability, Family Help & Moving Regional05:09 — What Makes a Regional Town Thrive?08:16 — The Real Challenges for First Home Buyers18:58 — Regional Due Diligence: What Buyers Miss22:39 — When a Property Appraisal Goes Wrong24:23 — How Regional Property Auctions Really Work26:28 — Why Organisation Wins in Property Buying32:19 — Why Local Buyer's Agents Make a Difference39:44 — Key Takeaways from Regional NSW MarketsMentionsEpisode 169 - Mistakes to Avoid When Buying in Regional LocationsCourse Details:THE First Home Buyer Course is our Step-By-Step, No BS Guide to Every Stage of The Home Buying Process – It's the next best thing to having your own buyer's agent.

In this episode of the Residential Developer Podcast, host Nathan Battishall breaks down the critical decision between the Complying Development Certificate (CDC) and Development Application (DA) pathways in New South Wales. While many developers reflexively choose the CDC for its speed and ability to bypass local council, Nathan explains why forcing this fast-track method can often backfire and lead to poor financial outcomes. He emphasises that your approval pathway should not just be a box to tick, but the foundational strategy that shapes your entire project design, yield, and resale value. You will learn why certain site constraints, like long or narrow blocks, are often better suited for a DA to achieve a superior "front and back" detached housing product. Nathan also warns against the "design first, check later" mentality, urging developers to identify all site constraints before even starting the conceptual phase. By the end of this episode, you will understand how to differentiate between a site-driven and a strategic-driven mindset to de-risk your investments effectively.Topics: ✅ The Strategy-Led Pathway ✅ CDC vs. DA Fundamentals ✅ The "Site-Driven" Trap ✅ Impact of Site Constraints ✅ De-risking Your Investment ✅ Speed vs. CertaintyConnect with Nathan Battishall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanbattishall/Website: https://duplexbuildingdesign.com/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Oliver talks to Roger Partridge about his new report, Renovating the Nation, which proposes selling around $25 billion worth of government-owned commercial assets and reinvesting the proceeds into critical public infrastructure. Drawing on the success of New South Wales's asset recycling programme, Roger argues the Crown has too much capital tied up in businesses it doesn't need to own, and that ring-fencing sale proceeds in an independently governed fund could deliver the roads, hospitals, and public transport New Zealand desperately needs.

Few filmmakers have a style as bold, romantic and unmistakable as Baz Luhrmann. From his breakout debut Strictly Ballroom to the glittering spectacle of The Great Gatsby starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and the fever-dream energy of Elvis, Luhrmann has built a career on transforming familiar stories into cinematic events. In this episode, he takes us inside one of his most iconic creative decisions: the unforgettable fish tank scene in his 1996 adaptation of Romeo + Juliet - and reveals how that moment came to life. We also explore his latest project, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, a return to Elvis Presley through newly uncovered footage from the legendary Las Vegas residency. Beyond the films, Luhrmann reflects on the journey that shaped him. Raised in Herons Creek, a tiny rural town in New South Wales, Australia, he grew up surrounded by performance and storytelling: his father ran a quirky petrol station and cinema, while his mother owned a dress shop and taught ballroom dancing. We discuss the setbacks that tested him, his unconventional audition process, his enduring creative partnership with his wife and the viral TikTok moment that sent the internet into a frenzy. I hope you enjoy this candid, wide-ranging conversation with one of modern cinema's great showmen. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 02:28 Creativity as Self‑Medication 05:52 Why Elvis? 09:22 The Romeo + Juliet Fish Tank Origin Story 11:01 Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen: The Accidental Hit 13:56 Failure #1: Losing Instincts, Depression and Finding the Way Back 26:16 Casting Without Auditions: Baz's Workshop Method 27:58 Creating a Fear-Free Room 28:47 The Big Break That Became a Public Flop 30:56 Rebounding with Strictly Ballroom 32:19 Choosing Collaborators 33:36 Marriage and Deep Trust 35:42 Criticism and Staying Humble (Plus the Viral TikTok Moment) 40:38 Future-Focused Filmmaking & Final Reflections

This week, the boys grabbed some beers and kept it positive while they fired off some mini-reviews before featuring a conversation about “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. As part of the random year generator series, 2004 was a great year for movies, with over 50 $100m movies and many likable ones. While “Eternal Sunshine” didn't gross in the top 70, it may be the year's greatest film. Props to Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman for giving Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet some juicy roles and incredibly shifty worlds! As for the mini-reviews, the boys can't speak highly enough of Gore Verbinski's “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die”, starring Sam Rockwell, and the intense and captivating “If I Had Legs I'd Kick You”, and the Academy Award-nominated “It Was Just An Accident”.

Drew Perkins speaks with John Sweller, Emeritus Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of New South Wales, and Oliver Caviglioli, information designer and former special school principal, about the foundations and future of Cognitive Load Theory (CLT). As one of the most influential frameworks in modern education, CLT provides a scientific roadmap for understanding how human cognitive architecture dictates the way we should—and shouldn't—teach. Links & Resources Mentioned In This Episode Have some feedback you'd like to share? You can email me at drew@thoughtstretchers.org. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it and please leave a review wherever you're listening. The conversation begins with Sweller's essential distinction between biologically primary knowledge (skills like speech that we evolve to acquire naturally) and biologically secondary knowledge (academic subjects like reading and math that require explicit instruction). Sweller argues that because schools primarily deal with secondary knowledge, the limitations of working memory must be the starting point for any instructional design. A major theme of the episode is the concept of element interactivity. Sweller clarifies a common point of contention: while inquiry-based learning can be acceptable for low-complexity information, it is "catastrophic" for high-element interactivity content where working memory is easily overwhelmed. The guests also explore the "computational advantage" of diagrams, explaining how visual models can offload cognitive strain and make complex syntax more accessible to learners. Finally, the group discusses the "knowledge-rich" foundation required for higher-order thinking. Contrary to the idea that critical thinking is a generic skill to be practiced in a vacuum, Sweller and Caviglioli emphasize that creativity and analysis are only possible when a deep knowledge base is firmly established in long-term memory.

Religious leaders and academic experts have faced a New South Wales parliamentary inquiry into a proposed law to combat right wing extremism. This, as the state government introduced the crime amendment bill following a neo-nazi protest outside state Parliament in November last year. The Law and Safety committee have been investigating the risks posed by certain groups, and are looking into the best ways to counter it.

What happens when a six-month holiday turns into a 14-year life chapter? You pack a bag for a gap year in the snow and accidentally stumble into a whole new world - a career, a husband, a mortgage, and three children. On paper, it’s the fairytale expat dream. But eventually, the adventure stops feeling like freedom and starts feeling like distance. Georgia Louise was living that dream as a ski patroller in Canada. However, when the global pandemic hit, her perception of being "a flight away" changed to feeling "a world away". That was the moment of the pivot: The realisation that to move forward, she had to go back to where she started - but as a completely different person. In this episode of Pivot Club, Sarah Davidson talks to Georgia about the decision to pack up over a decade of life into seven suitcases to chase a dream she’d been ignoring for years: To become a nurse. Georgia opens up about the "messy middle" of relocating a family of five to regional New South Wales with no credit rating, no local employment history and nothing but a heartfelt letter to convince a landlord to take a chance on them. We unpack the reality of dismantling a comfortable life to start from scratch, the humility of sitting in a university lecture hall with 18-year-olds as a mature-age student and how Georgia uses her thriving social media platform to fund her studies. Join us for a conversation about the logistics of moving a family across the globe when the pull of home becomes too loud to ignore. Get ready to be inspired by a woman who is proving that it is never too late to go back to school. THE END BITS: Want more from Sarah Davidson? Check out her podcast Seize The Yay.

On March 25, 2022, 21-year-old Mackenzie Anderson was brutally murdered in Mayfield, New South Wales. She was stabbed more than 78 times by her ex-partner, Tyrone Thompson, in front of her toddler. Thomspon had been released on bail just 16 days earlier, despite a documented history of serious domestic violence. In the weeks before her death, Mackenzie did everything she was told would keep her safe. She called emergency services repeatedly when he broke into her home. She reported ongoing abuse. She worked with police. She secured an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order. None of it was enough. In this confronting and emotional episode, Laura is joined by Tabitha Acret, Mackenzie's mother, who shares who her daughter was beyond the headlines—and the devastating reality of living with a loss that never eases. Together, they speak honestly about the warning signs that were missed, the failures that left Mackenzie unprotected, and the permanent impact on her family, especially her child. This episode centers Mackenzie's life, not just her death, and asks the hard questions about why women who ask for help are still not being heard. It's yet another stark reminder that intimate partner violence is predictable, preventable, and too often ignored—until it's too late. #MackenzieAnderson #TabithaAcret #DomesticViolence #Femicide #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Analysis #TrueCrime #Podcast #Crime #newSouthWales  Clip https://youtube.com/shorts/ZqlullDAqUk?si=_W_aoe_y9nb1Anz3   More from Tabitha Acret  Tabitha on FB 2026 Masterclasses and Crime Analyst Resources and Community      Laura offers 2026 Masterclasses covering topics such as profiling behavior, stalking class on February 12, preventing murder and suicide in slow motion on February 19, coercive control February 25, DASH Risk Masterclass March 11 and 12 and DASH Train the Trainer.   Register for Masterclasses      Laura is hosting a FREE Criminal Behavioural Analysis: Profiling Behaviour & Escalating Risk- Learn about behaviours to prevent homicides & identifying the red flags and risks associated with domestic abuse, stalking, coercive control, child abuse & sexual violence.
