We discussed Dan Prescott's wedding getting called off after his bucks went out of control, then Maddie from Penrith called in revealing she cancelled her wedding after realising at her hens night (featuring Puppetry of the Penis with the infamous hamburger and poppy seeds) that she wasn't into men anymore—she's now a "fully-fledged adult lesbian." DJ Kelly-O topped that by sharing the time he was DJing a wedding, the bride asked him to find the groom, and he caught him in the backseat with the maid of honour before the ceremony even started.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Key Highlights The 24-0 Record: A deep dive into Craig Bellamy’s staggering 24-year undefeated streak in Round 1 and what it reveals about the Storm's elite preseason standards. Wayne’s World at Souths: The Rabbitohs’ 40-point explosion and why a fit Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker make them the most dangerous attacking unit in the comp.

Cautious optimism from Warriors league coach Andrew Webster that his side can make another NRL leap this year. They start their campaign tomorrow against the Sydney Roosters at Mount Smart without co-captain Mitch Barnett and halfback Luke Metcalf, as both are returning from knee injuries. Webster told Mike Hosking that last year's opening match serves as a reminder of over evaluating a pre-season. He says they're comfortable where they are, but until you get punched in the face round one, you don't really know where you're at. The Warriors finished sixth last year, exiting in the first round of the finals to Penrith. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How To Scale A BusinessSean Penrith, CEO of Gordian Knot Strategies, shares his journey from running a lucrative but unfulfilling business in South America to becoming a leader in climate finance. After sailing across the Atlantic and around Cape Horn, Sean returned home to pursue his MBA and started a glass recycling business that set him on a path toward purposeful work. Through founding nine different businesses, including a functional beverage company and a climate finance consultancy, Sean developed a powerful seven-element framework for predicting business success. This framework, born from research funded by the Walton Family Foundation, has proven remarkably accurate at identifying which projects and businesses will succeed or fail—regardless of industry or geography. Sean reveals why 70% of passionate entrepreneurs fail to identify willing and able payers for their solutions, how he maintains an 80% repeat client rate through trust in an AI-saturated world, and why he believes mindset and transforming limiting beliefs is the true secret to scaling a business. He also shares how he ran his businesses for three years from a sailboat during COVID and the counterintuitive career advice he gives his children about designing work around lifestyle rather than the other way around.Chapters:(00:00:00) - Sean explains the seven-element framework for predicting business success(00:01:31) - From South America hustler to purpose-driven entrepreneur(00:03:36) - How Sean started nine businesses by solving problems he actually had(00:06:00) - The research project that cracked the code on why startups fail(00:09:00) - Why 70% of entrepreneurs can't identify willing and able payers(00:14:00) - How AI is changing client relationships and the importance of trust(00:19:00) - Navigating polarized climate politics across different markets(00:21:00) - Why Sean reduced from nine service offerings to three core ones(00:22:00) - Career advice: Design your lifestyle first, then find work to support it(00:24:15) - The secret to scaling: Mindset over grindingLinks And Resources:Website: https://gordianknotstrategies.com/team/Sean Penrith on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/spenrith/Amplafy Media: https://www.amplafymedia.com/Hector Santiesteban on LinkedIn:   / hector-santiesteban-64326340  Hector Santiesteban on Twitter: https://twitter.com/hector_podcast?la...Thanks so much for joining us this week.

With mortgage rates falling below 2%, property investors face a crucial decision point. Acting too slowly can result in missed opportunities, while premature moves risk capital loss. The ability to preserve capital — not just generate returns — is the first test of any sound investment. In a market shifting back toward seller dominance, understanding timing and asset strength becomes essential.   Melvin Lim from PropertyLimBrothers introduces a six-step framework designed to help investors create property liquidity events with strategic clarity. He breaks down how to assess risk, identify assets with larger exit audiences, and navigate tax inefficiencies such as ABSD. Through practical examples, Melvin explains why waiting for price gains may actually lead to net losses — and how switching into a stronger asset early can unlock long-term upside.   This conversation offers a grounded approach to decision-making in an environment shaped by rate cuts, shifting buyer sentiment, and rising liquidity. If you're planning an upgrade, exit, or portfolio restructure, the insights shared here are both timely and actionable.   00:00 Intro 00:55 The Buying Power Triangle 01:41 The $4.5 Million sweet spot 03:00 Strongest seasons for property buying and the Equity Triangle 04:50 Andrew & Zi Yi Property Journey and portfolio growth (Risks of Active Income and the importance of Passive and Asset Income) 10:59 The TLC (Tenure, Leverage, Capability) Triangle 13:42 Pre-Catalyst Opportunity 16:11 The "PSF Play" 19:46 The "Region Play" 21:09 Purchase tips for CCR Freehold Resale Condos 21:23 Upcoming Launches in CCR and RCR 21:33 Penrith new launch breakdown and performance of surrounding condos (Sterling Residences and Queens) 25:27 Northern Region opportunities for sub-$1.65 Million 4-Bedroom resale condos

Over the course of a decade in politics Rory Stewart saw how power really works and what forces drive our communities apart. He was a backbench MP, held several ministerial positions, and stood for prime minister – before being sacked from a Conservative Party that he had come to barely recognise. Now, well away from the political arena, he regularly shares his insights into current affairs and global politics as co-host of the UK's leading political podcast, The Rest Is Politics. In October he came to Intelligence Squared to discuss the state of Britain and the world today. He drew from his new book 'Middleland: Dispatches from the Borders' to discuss his decade as MP of one of Britain's most rural constituencies, Penrith and The Border. And he argued that to truly create a better future for all we must understand the tensions that exist between rural and urban, between farming and the natural world, between the need to preserve and to grow, and between local and national politics. Bridges must – and can – be built, he argued. The event was hosted by former MP and author Caroline Lucas.

The 2025-26 Wests Tigers pre-season is just commencing, with players starting to return to training this week. One of the players set to sweat it out at Concord over the summer months is young fullback Jack Attard.Considered the heir apparent to champion Penrith fullback Dylan Edwards, Attard has ditched the Panthers and come across to our club on a three-year deal. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, we dive into what this means for our current fullback Jahream Bula.Bula, managed by Isaac Moses (who has a rocky history with the Wests Tigers), is in the midst of contract negotiations, and there are concerns that he may be heading elsewhere. So, is Attard a contingency? An insurance plan? We take a deep dive into that issue on this edition.Joining Joel on this podcast are the boys from Tiger Town, Zac and Toby, as well as Jordan, Declan, and Nick.Other topics up for debate include the new gear supply deal with Canterbury Sportswear. With Steeden moving on, Canterbury will soon have a new-look Wests Tigers jersey for us, and we've already seen a fresh training shirt look as well. The boys discuss expectations and hopes for the new-look Wests Tigers jersey.Nathan Brown also pops up for a bit of a discussion with reports continuing to link the veteran prop to a farewell season or two with the Tigers.And then we get into the meat and potatoes topic of this podcast - the 2026 Wests Tigers team. With a full house of contributors on board, we look at the contentious selection areas for round one and beyond, including Wing, Lock, Prop, and Bench Utility.There are also a couple of bold predictions, including the potential inclusion of highly touted young Wests Tigers stars, such as Ethan Roberts, Javon Andrews, Phoenix Godinet, and Heamasi Makasini.It's an exciting time to be a Wests Tigers fan! Don't forget to join in the discussion today on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wests-tigers-podcast--6660380/support.

In her latest novel, One Aladdin Two Lamps, the writer Jeanette Winterson takes inspiration from the legendary story of Shahrazad in One Thousand and One Nights. But she calls on the reader to look again at stories we think we know, unpick how fiction works, and have the courage to challenge and change the narrative.The saxophonist and presenter Soweto Kinch will perform his new album, Soundtrack to the Apocalypse, with the London Symphony Orchestra (at the Barbican, London, on Friday 14th November), combining British jazz, hip-hop and orchestral music. This is the finale of his acclaimed trilogy of politically charged, genre-defying works that tell different stories of the past, present and future. The former MP Rory Stewart spent nearly a decade in Britain's most rural constituency, Penrith and Borders, and wrote a column for a local newspaper. In Middleland: Dispatches from the Borders he's collected together these fragmentary moments from rural life and local politics to capture a wide-ranging portrait of life and stories from the Cumbrian countryside.

...in which we are joined by broadcaster, author, long-distance walker and former MP for Penrith and the Border, Rory Stewart, to discuss his new book, Middleland – Dispatches from the Borders. In a wide-ranging discussion about the 'lost kingdom of Middleland', Dave chats with Rory about long walks through the Lake District and Borderlands, about the joys of post-walk pub stays (warm socks, a book by the fire), and the meditative pace of multi-day rambles. Moving to farming, Rory raises the alarm over a new era of small farm 'clearance', urges caution over rewilding a heritage landscape, and argues that binary thinking is impeding a subsidy regime that would champion nature-based farming. Grappling with a 'Middleland' identity, we consider why the reality of Cumbria – sparsely populated, mountainous, complex – questions so many assumptions at the heart of modern politics, and learn why we should not lose confidence in our National Parks. Facing our quickfire questions, Rory describes his earliest Cumbrian memory (rescue from a snow-blocked A6 aged four), his fondness for Penrith fudge and his love of Striding Edge. Closing on a note of positivity; Rory reflects on the fact that – despite its challenges – Cumbria remains a place in which tens of thousands of people contribute to a place that brings "a type of joy, meaning and happiness that is elusive elsewhere". Rory's new book, Middleland, is out today.

Australia's housing shortage isn't just about planning approvals or red tape — it's about money. In this episode, commercial finance expert Jean-Pierre Gortan, Joint Founder of Simplicity Loans & Advisory, joins Veronica Morgan and Chris Bates to unpack the financial bottlenecks preventing new homes from being built, even in areas crying out for supply.Jean-Pierre draws on more than two decades of experience structuring complex, multi-lender deals to explain why so many developments are stuck in limbo. From Parramatta to Penrith, he reveals how post-COVID construction cost blowouts, tighter lending standards, and broken feasibility models have made many projects impossible to fund — even with demand at record highs.They discuss how non-bank lenders are filling the void left by traditional banks, why build-to-rent projects still struggle to stack up in high-cost cities like Sydney, and what state governments are doing through rezoning, TOD corridors, and density incentives to unlock supply. Jean-Pierre also shares insights into how the market differs between NSW, Victoria, and Queensland, and what policy shifts could finally make housing delivery viable again.This is a candid, ground-level look at the economics of housing supply — and a reminder that Australia's housing crisis won't be solved by planning reforms alone, but by rethinking how development is financed.Episode Highlights00:00 – Introduction02:12 — How COVID Cost Blowouts Crushed Feasibility03:51 — When Projects Don't Stack Up Financially05:22 — Why Government Fixes Aren't Solving Supply15:38 — Non-Bank Lenders: Who's Funding Projects Now18:02 — Developers Adapting to a Tougher Market21:32 — How Finance Shapes Future Housing Supply25:53 — Residential vs Commercial: Shared Challenges26:27 — Why Banks Pulled Back from Construction Loans28:18 — Can Government Programs Reignite Building?29:48 — Pre-Sales Pressure: A Hidden Project Killer31:10 — Quality, Oversight, and Building Regulation Costs32:39 — Red Tape and Rezoning: The Slow Path to Supply36:40 –  Transport Oriented Development (TOD) and LMR Zones43:08 — Property Dumbo: Overconfidence in Feasibility44:45 — Final Thoughts: Funding and the Road AheadLinksJean-Pierre Gortan (website bio)LMR ViewerAbout the GuestJean-Pierre Gortan is the Joint Founder of Simplicity Loans & Advisory and one of Australia's most respected figures in commercial finance.
