The Tribal Warrior Cultural Cruise is a community led tourism operation. NITV Radio joined the morning cruise departing from Sydney's Circular Quay with the magnificent views of Sydney, The Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge and a tour of Clark Island.Kerri-Lee Barry in conversation on the Tribal Warrior on Sydney Harbour with Tribal Warrior staff member - Brock - Vessel Coordinator.

Reeder, Wolfe, and Wasche came to Wahpeton during the boomtown years and became very wealthy. They envisioned the civilizing influence of a massive brick opera house on the corner of Dakota Avenue, the main street of the rowdy frontier town. Key to the venture were several railroad lines running daily to cities where acclaimed dramatic and musical acts were based. Entertainers and audiences could arrive and depart on tracks behind the building.

This week I sat down with Adam Hamadache, founder of Formula and host of the Hotel Growth Podcast, a man who has spent the last 15 years helping hotels figure out how to grow in an industry that never seems to sit still for more than five minutes.What followed was part hospitality strategy masterclass, part therapy session for modern business owners, and part beautifully chaotic conversation about AI, audience-less keynote speeches, and why hiring experts only to tell them exactly what to do might be “the definition of madness.”From working in a shoe shop during school work experience while dreaming of hotels, to shouting orders on the grill in a Sydney restaurant kitchen overlooking the Opera House, Adam's journey is full of sharp pivots, curiosity, and a relentless obsession with solving problems properly.Along the way we get into the terrifying speed of AI, why hospitality still massively underuses its own data, what business owners can learn from bad football defending, and the deeply humbling experience of delivering a keynote presentation to an audience of… one.And honestly?The audience of one story alone is worth the price of admission (Which is free by the way)In this episode, Adam and I get into…• Why careers often evolve through curiosity rather than rigid planning• How a failed hotel promotion model accidentally launched an entire hospitality marketing career• The ongoing battle between hotels and OTAs, and why direct bookings still matter so much• What operators misunderstand about marketing partnerships• Why Formula made the bold decision to hire only highly experienced people• The power of friction, challenge and healthy disagreement in great businesses• Why “slow down to speed up” might be the most important business lesson of all• The terrifying speed of AI and how search behaviour is fundamentally changing• Why hospitality still isn't using data and technology anywhere near its full potential• How fear of being left behind can push businesses into bad tech decisions• Why independent hoteliers often feel isolated when facing huge commercial challenges• The thinking behind Adam's new hospitality advisory board conceptAnd so much more.Some cracking quote-ables from Adam…“You don't buy a dog and bark yourself”“Search has changed more in the last 18 months than in the previous 18 years”“You've got to slow down to speed up”“The bold, harder decisions are often much less expensive than the easy decisions you choose to tolerate”“Doing the same thing and expecting a different result is madness… but so is hiring experts and then telling them exactly how to do their job”Why this episode is worth your earsThis is one of those conversations that goes way beyond marketing.Yes, there's loads in here about AI, growth strategy, technology, customer behaviour and the future of hospitality… but underneath all of that is a really thoughtful conversation about leadership, humility, evolution and the importance of staying curious when the world feels like it's changing at breakneck speed.Adam's honesty around business ownership, difficult decisions, and learning to pause before reacting makes this one feel incredibly grounded and real.It's also reassuringly human.Because sometimes even successful keynote speakers end up presenting to one confused bloke in a conference room.And somehow…that might actually be the perfect metaphor for modern business.Show PartnerA big shout out to today's show partner, RotaCloud, the people management platform built specifically for shift based teams.RotaCloud lets managers create and share rotas, record attendance, and manage annual leave in minutes, all from one simple, web-based app.It also makes life easier for teams, allowing staff to check rotas, request holiday, and pick up extra shifts directly from their phones.To find out more, head to RotaCloudThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

For 45 years, George Palmer harboured a secret. He spent every spare moment composing classical music, and then shoving his scores in his bottom drawer. Until one day, almost by pure chance, that music saw the light of day.As a young man, George had dreams of becoming a renowned classical music composer, but when he walked into university, he didn't feel like he belonged in the music department.George left after his first week, and followed a school friend into the law department.At first, George was not inspired by the law, but he ended up falling in love with the human side of the justice system.For the next 45 years, he climbed the ranks from barrister, to Queen's Counsel, and finally to judge in the NSW Supreme Court, where he had ultimate responsibility for all adoptions in the state.But through all those years in public life, George had a secret "vice".Every spare moment he had was spent at his piano, scribbling down choral works and orchestral scores that he never intended anyone to see or hear.He never spoke about composing with his colleagues, friends or family, until one day George's talents were uncovered through chance and tragedy.George's latest work The Drover's Wife - The Opera is playing at Brisbane's QPAC until 22 May, and then will be staged at Sydney's Opera House in August, 2026.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive Producer is Eliza Kirsch.It explores World War Two, family origin stories, spies, British intelligence, hearing loss, late in life career changes, second career, protective list, adoption, foster care, Supreme Court, legal system, justice system, judicial system, commercial law, Beethoven, Bach, Wagner, opera, contemporary classical music, contemporary Australian composers, Indigenous stories, Leah Purcell, stage adaptations, books, writing.

Most parents have heard that play is how children learn. But in a world full of educational toys (even for babies, preschoolers, and kindergarteners!), enrichment classes, structured activities, and apps designed to make babies smarter, making time for play is harder than it sounds. The pressure to get kids ahead earlier keeps building - and the research that's supposed to reassure us often gets buried under the noise. Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek has spent more than 20 years studying how children learn. She's a psychology professor at Temple University, a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, and co-author of Einstein Never Used Flash Cards - just updated for the age of smartphones, tablets, and AI.  In this conversation, she makes the case that the characteristics that make play so engaging for kids are the exact same characteristics that produce the deepest learning. And she explains why the push to start earlier and do more may be working directly against what parents say they want for their kids. Questions this episode will answer Did Einstein use flashcards? Of course not!  The point of Einstein Never Used Flash Cards is that you don't need to provide direct instruction to young kids for them to be smart and successful. The skills that lead to real achievement - problem-solving, collaboration, creative thinking - are built through active, hands-on, joyful learning, not memorization drills. What is playful learning? Playful learning is not the same as free play. It combines a clear learning goal with an approach that is active, engaging, meaningful, socially interactive, and joyful. Dr. Hirsh-Pasek walks through what this looks like in real classrooms - and in your own kitchen. What is an example of a play-based learning activity? A kindergarten class learning about weather by using droppers and water to measure precipitation, then comparing and averaging their results. Another group acting as a live weather broadcast - a five-year-old using the words "high front" and "precipitation" without ever sitting through a lecture. The episode includes several more examples parents can use at home right now. What's the difference between free play and structured play? Dr. Hirsh-Pasek describes a continuum: free play on one end, direct instruction on the other, and guided play in the middle. Each has a role. The problem is that direct instruction currently dominates, even though children learn far less from it than from active, social, and meaningful experiences. How do kindergarteners learn best? Through play-based learning that is active rather than passive, engaging rather than distracting, meaningful, socially interactive, and joyful. It's not just that play is fun (even though it is); these are the conditions the brain is built to learn in. Dr. Hirsh-Pasek explains the science and shows what it looks like in practice. Do enrichment classes for preschoolers actually help? The research says starting earlier is not better for kids. Kids who are pushed into structured learning young are not more likely to be strong readers or high performers later. The episode explains what the data actually shows - and what parents can do instead that costs nothing. Why is play important in early childhood learning? Because the characteristics of play - active, engaged, meaningful, social, joyful - are the same conditions under which human brains learn best at any age. Dr. Hirsh-Pasek explains why stripping play out of early childhood doesn't accelerate learning. It undermines it. What you'll learn in this episode The six characteristics of playful learning and why each one connects to how the brain actually builds knowledgeThe difference between free play, guided play, and direct instruction - and when each one serves kids bestConcrete play-based learning examples from everyday life at home: the kitchen, the laundry room, the backyardWhy the research on high performers shows that early specialization and intensive enrichment rarely produces the outcomes parents are hoping forWhat the arrival of AI means for the skills kids actually need to develop - and why those skills come from play, not flashcardsWhy downtime is not wasted time, and what it does for the developing brainThe questions Jen asked Dr. Hirsh-Pasek at the end of the conversation - about who research serves and what it leaves out - that don't usually get asked in interviews like this one Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek's website: https://kathyhirshpasek.com/ Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek's instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkathyanddrro Einstein Never Used Flash Cards: https://amzn.to/4dubLe0 (Affiliate link) Want more research-backed tools for the hard parenting moments?

Dr. Hirsh-Pasek describes what this looks like in a real kindergarten classroom studying weather. 14:02 How playful learning shows up at home - in the kitchen (measuring, counting, estimating), the laundry room (sorting, classifying, folding), and on a trip to Sydney, where two kids spent two hours drawing the Opera House. 17:06 The gap between what parents say they want (happy kids) and how they're actually spending time and money. Dr. Hirsh-Pasek connects downtime and unstructured exploration to the brain's default mode network - the part that builds creativity. 20:24 Research on people who reached the highest levels of performance in sport and the arts: they didn't specialize early. They meandered and explored. 20:45 Jen asks Dr. Hirsh-Pasek about the relationship between research and culture - how research doesn't just reflect ideas about childhood, it shapes them. 24:11 A look back at Becoming Brilliant and the six C's: Collaborate, Communicate, Content, Critical Thinking, Creative Innovation, and Confidence to try, fail, and keep going. Why do these matter more than ever in an AI world? 26:11 Where to find Dr. Hirsh-Pasek and her work. 26:53 Jen's closing thoughts - including a note that some content in the book raised questions she couldn't fully explore in this conversation, and an open invitation to join Parenting Membership.

It’s Harry and Meghan week in Australia, and we’re hoping for some big news in Jam World. A lot has changed since the last time they were here and Clare Stephens waited outside the Opera House to touch Prince Harry’s hand. So what can we expect from the royal-not-royal tour? Bieberchella has broken the internet and healed a lot of Millennial hearts. Between a $10 million pay check and a setlist that involved Justin dueting with his childhood self, Em Vernem is asking: Is this a profound moment of healing, or just a very expensive therapy session we were all forced to watch? In other business, Melania Trump decided that this chaotic moment in world affairs was the right moment to make an unprompted address about her "friendship" with Jeffrey Epstein. And Lena Dunham is releasing a memoir reflecting on fast fame. Her honesty about what peak spotlight did to her coupled with one of the world’s most profitable writers finally revealing her identity, Holly Wainwright is asking: If you could make the art and the money without the fame, why on earth would you choose to be known? Oh, and as the Federal Government launches a campaign telling us all to do our bit for a potential fuel crisis, are you guilty of pantry-maxxing?

SynopsisOn today's date in 1930, Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra gave the first staged presentation in America of Igor Stravinsky's revolutionary ballet The Rite of Spring at Philadelphia's 4000-seat Opera House — and it was a hot ticket.The Philadelphia Inquirer noted “a milling mob fought and scrambled for entrance to the Opera House … there was a traffic tie-up of taxis and trolleys for blocks beyond, while dignified ladies were seen to pop out of automobiles like rabbits out of hutches, and scurry for blocks on foot, to avoid being late.” This was for what the newspaper described as, “the startling spectacle of bare-legged girls and men whirling madly and stamping upon the stage to an orgiastic fury of sound.”For its American premiere, the original costuming from the work's Paris premiere was retained, but the choreography was now by Léonide Massine, not Vaslav Nijinsky, and Martha Graham and her Corps de Ballet were the dancers, not Diaghilev's Ballet Russe.Stokowski, a passionate promoter of Stravinsky's score, had given its American concert premiere with the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1922 and, in 1940, it was Stokie and the Philadelphians who could accompany Walt Disney's dinosaurs in his animated Fantasia version of the famous Stravinsky score.Music Played in Today's ProgramIgor Stravinsky (1882-1971): The Rite of Spring; Philadelphia Orchestra; Leopold Stokowski, conductor; Disneyland WDX101

Residents in Galva are advised that hydrant flushing is underway across town, starting in the southeast near the park district and moving through other areas this week. Locals may experience discolored water and should run taps until the water clears before doing laundry. The city council discussed contract renewal with Home Count Consulting to continue downtown improvements, including work at the historic Opera House. The former Appel Chevrolet building is now open for retail business proposals. A recent grant of $8,000 supports tree planting, with further funding to help manage city-owned trees. The grant will help with new plantings and removals, reinforcing the city's ongoing commitment to maintaining its “tree city” status. Galva's Freedom Fest received a generous $12,500 donation from Berkshire Hathaway for the July fireworks show. City council approved an intergovernmental agreement for ordinance violation appeals with neighboring towns.

The Sterling Opera House in Derby, Connecticut, is one of New England's most haunted and historically complex buildings. Opened in 1889 as a grand cultural landmark, it hosted performers like Harry Houdini, John Philip Sousa, and Amelia Earhart. Also, it hid a whole police station and jail directly beneath the stage. While audiences applauded upstairs, criminals sat locked in the cells below.In this episode, we explore the opera house's dramatic past, its ties to the Titanic, its rumored Houdini escape stunt, and the decades it sat abandoned. Then we dive into the paranormal activity that has made the Sterling a hotspot for investigators: voices in the basement, unexplained scratches, the balcony spirit known as “Andy,” and sightings of the White Lady.A deep look at Connecticut history, true crime, and one of the state's most active haunted locations. hauntedamericanhistory.comPatreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHBarnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

The Sydney Opera House is one of the most famous buildings in the world and a symbol of Australia. Located on the harbor in Sydney, it looks like a group of giant white sails floating on the water. Designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, it opened in 1973 and became a center for music, theater, and dance. This video explores how the Opera House was built, what makes its design so unique, and why it's loved by people around the world. It's not just a building—it's a masterpiece of creativity and culture.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Not every haunting is born from tragedy — some come from pure love of the stage. Built in the 1870s, the Rohs Opera House has seen laughter, heartbreak, and curtain calls for nearly a century and a half. Once destined for demolition, the historic theater was saved by the people of Cynthiana, Kentucky, who couldn't bear to lose its charm — or its spirits. As paranormal investigator Renee Hill soon discovered, they weren't the only ones keeping the show alive. From ghostly applause echoing through empty seats to shadowy figures caught watching performances long after the lights go out, the Rohs Opera House continues to entertain audiences on both sides of the veil. In this episode of The Grave Talks, step behind the red velvet curtains to uncover the secrets of a theater where the spirits still take their final bow — night after night. #RohsOperaHouse #HauntedTheater #GhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #HauntedKentucky #TheGraveTalks #RealHauntings #HistoricHauntings #ParanormalInvestigation #SpiritsOfTheStage #HauntedOperaHouse #GhostlyEncore Love real ghost stories?
