Episode #222: River Walking  (Song starts at 4.22) This song is the title track of the album by the same name, by Paul Dredge and myself. It was fun looking back to see how 'River Walking' came together. Although it was written in sections, by 2 people, in a sort of a call and answer style (which we do, as we've lived in different countries for some time). We send the sections online back and forth. I think the finished song sounds like it was written by one person. It's an example of how much on the same page you can be with someone. There was a lot already in place, looking back to when we first met at the first gig: the harmonies, the arranging skills - the music fell into place quickly together. Then there were years where we refined our music together - particularly at a 5 night per week piano bar where we performed as a duo. There was nowhere to hide, our voices and the 2 instruments were right there… no drums to hide behind. So It was an potentially an intense performance space, in some respects, but the only way you're going to make a piano bar restaurant work is for the entertainers have to be relaxed. And we certainly were. But it took a lot out of us, performing so much, even though we both loved it. To switch off, we'd walk by the river, or maybe fish.  The Manawatu river rolls quietly along the rural plains, beside Palmerston North and onward to the coast. We discovered pretty quickly that the sound of the river, the breeze in the trees, the bird calls had a profound effect on our nerves, our breathing… It became a regular event, like a ritual, looking back. A very  peaceful, restorative thing to do, walking by the river. Fast forward to now. I find a lot of peace where I live. I'm lucky enough to have some studio space where I paint, compose, write lyrics. I live near the Port Phillip bay,(Mornington Peninsula, Vic, Australia). I wrote the lyrics, to describe how it feels, being out in nature, unwinding. I then sent a sheet of lyrics that were really in need of an edit. But I knew Paul was about to go on holiday, which is when he often writes songs, so I felt the need to get some lyrics to him. Paul came up with a couple of verses, and the bridge…he then sent me an mp3. To carry on with. You can hear Paul's ‘initial sketch' recording on this episode. He recorded it at the camp ground. It's really great to receive these from Paul. In the studio, I have it  playing in my headphones. I  have tracks recording and as Paul's part stops, I kick in on the piano and voice, carry the arrangement and wing a melody for the next section. In this case it was the chorus. So you'll get to hear how it happened this time. And you'll hear where it finished up: the album version. 5th song on the album 'River Walking', I think it's pretty much right on target, for the sort of folkrock music vibe that we seem to be most comfortable producing together. There sure is some variety of styles on the album. We are stoked with it. Ok want to hear more? Hear we go, come 'River Walking' with us.

Faith and Val are joined in the studio on yet another epically windy morning by Mathieu Cadet of Port Phillip Bicycle User Group. We all share our bike moments, before taking a quick look at some news including an update on the La Trobe Street bike lane which appears to have re-opened and the start of Women's Health Week. After the break discussion turns to Port Phillip BUG and why they have joined the Streets People Love campaign. Streets People Love is a statewide campaign supporting and promoting the efforts of local government to create safe and pleasant streets for people to live, work, play and move in.  Mathieu fills us in why it is so important that residents in Port Phillip think about the candidates they will vote for at upcoming Council elections and how he believed Streets People Love will help them to do this with respect to their support for the safe streets residnets often say they want. The recent state government report for the Port Phillip covid pop-up bike lanes showed overwhelming support for the lanes and not only an increase in ridership but a significant reduction in vehicle traffic, and yet these outcomes aren't finding support at the Council level. We finish up with a quick reminder about the next Critical Mass ride on September 26th, - heading up Sydney Road!

Hola comunidad, hoy nos vamos a Melbourne, que es la capital del estado de Victoria, en Australia, y la segunda ciudad más poblada del país. Ubicada en el sureste de Australia, a orillas de la bahía de Port Phillip, la ciudad se fundó en 1835 y creció rápidamente gracias a la fiebre del oro. Hoy es un importante centro financiero, cultural y educativo, conocida por su red de tranvías, su clima variable y su diversidad cultural. Melbourne es también un punto clave para el deporte en Australia, albergando eventos como el Abierto de Australia de tenis y el Gran Premio de Fórmula 1. Yo pasaría allí unos meses, solo por estar, de verdad que me fascina la ciudad. #Australia #Melbourne #Podcast #ElTurista #CesarSar

What's behind the horrifying phenomenon of fish kills in Australian inland waterways? Join us as we unearth the many fish kills that have taken place recently with Prof. Lee Baumgartner – the leading scientists who is involved in the government enquiry investigating the events. Throughout the episode, Lee sheds light on the environmental culprits behind these disasters, stressing the importance of responsible river management going forward. From dissecting blackwater events, hydrology, bacteria and algae, river infrastructure and flow, the ‘perfect storm' that leads to a fish kill is discussed so you can better understand what is happening to our native fish throughout the Murray-Darling Basin.   Prof. Lee Baumgartner  Prof. Lee Baumgardner stands as a revered figure in the realm of applied research, best known for his groundbreaking contributions to the intricate interplay of food, water, and energy. His work is particularly pivotal in regions where water serves as a lifeline for sustenance and economic activities, playing a crucial role in irrigation and hydropower. Lee directs his focus to communities reliant on fish, a cornerstone of biodiversity, nutrition, and income. However, these aquatic populations face a dangerous decline due to extensive river development, prompting Lee's active involvement in government inquiries into fish kills.  Lee Baumgardner is no stranger to the corridors of power, having contributed to parliamentary inquiries and been appointed to prime ministerial advisory panels. His outreach extends to international and national media, where he tirelessly promotes the cause of healthy rivers. A recipient of prestigious awards, including the NSW Crawford Medal, Lee holds a Ph.D. in applied ecology from the University of Canberra (2005). Having only recently completed his commitments on the government panel enquiring into the fish kills, Lee offers insight into how environmental enquiries work. The transparency, which is important for the rec fishing community gaining trust in our respective state fisheries managements, leads the discussion to looking below the surface at what actually happened in the 2018 and 2023 fish kills. Collaborating with a diverse spectrum of professionals—engineers, functional ecologists, social scientists, policy experts, and water professionals—Lee addresses the multifaceted challenges confronting these communities. Passionate about nurturing healthy rivers, his mantra, "A healthy river is an economic and environmental engine," encapsulates the essence of his recent research and advocacy.  Beyond the realms of science and advocacy, Lee reveals a more personal facet—a passionate fisherman with a love for Port Phillip and Corio Bay. Whether chasing snapper, whiting, or flathead, he finds solace in the waters, embodying a harmonious connection between his professional pursuits and personal pleasures.  Understanding Fish Kills   Fish kills are complicated. Understanding them requires dissection of blackwater events, hydrology, stratification, bacteria and algae, river infrastructure and flow. Interestingly, both the 2018 and 2023 events were caused from different catalysts. As Lee explains on the episode, both fish kills were due to a lack of oxygen, yet how we came to that was due to different preceding weather events.   In looking beneath the surface at these ‘environmental culprits', Lee dives into the science behind blackwater events and breaks down this complex phenomenon. He explains how these occurrences, exacerbated by specific environmental conditions such as flood and drought, lead to drastic reductions in water quality and oxygen levels, culminating in mass fish deaths.   Importantly, Lee highlights that blackwater alone is not the culprit for fish kills. A key component in this story is the process of stratification – the turning of water in a weir pool. As explained by Lee, the water at weir 32 in Menindee throughout 2018 and 2023 was divided into two layers; one warm layer full of algae, and one starved of oxygen. In both events, fish could tolerate the conditions in the bottom layer, before the water turned and conditions became unbearable.   The discussion takes a historical turn, examining how changes in river management practices over the years have contributed to this current crisis. Lee underscores the absence of large-scale fish kills in Australia's history, contrasting it against recent events driven by human intervention. Australian rivers have always faced droughts and floods, but what has changed?  In comparing to other countries, Lee explains that fish kills are natural in places like Europe and the Americas, however the ones we see in Australia is purely due to how humans have manipulated the rivers.   In a unique approach, Lee discusses how studying the ear bones of dead fish offers insights into their age, life history and the water conditions they experienced. This analysis helps unravel the broader implications of fish kills and the interconnectedness of different parts of the river system. Interestingly, Lee finds a positive news story to come from these events.   The episode doesn't just highlight problems; it also explores potential solutions. Lee talks about the importance of early warning systems, technology like aerators and bubblers, and the need for strategic fish relocation to prevent future fish kills. For Lee, this is one the major recommendations he made to the government enquiry this year.   The conversation culminates in a compelling call to action. Lee emphasizes the need for community involvement, policy change, and continued scientific research to safeguard the health of Australia's rivers and aquatic life for future generations.

Welcome to a very special edition of St Kilda Talks. We're back again after a break because a podcast is the best way to let you know about some current problems facing the St Kilda community.Last week, our city council – the City of Port Phillip – was considering changes to local laws. Normally an administrative exercise to tidy up the local laws. But the 1 March council meeting became a three hour marathon session with more than thirty members of the public lined up to give personal testimony. They'd come to talk about many topics, dogs in parks, hoons on roads, concerns about short stay accommodation and fears about safety in public places.While all these issues were considered, the issue of community safety in public places was the subject of the most passionate testimony.This podcast breaks all the rules and presents audio highlights of the community testimony to the council. Consider it like a community truth telling session. You'll hear a selection of the personal experiences of numerous locals as they told council what they saw in the community.It's confronting. It's raw. And it needs an audience.Visit gdaystkilda.com.au for more information and to subscribe to TWiSK: This Week in St Kilda.

Episode #150: Carry Me On  (Song starts at 3:13) Hi, on this episode we are looking at Carry Me On, song #237, composed 1992 (you can find it online as part of the album 'Righto', on www.petepascoe.bandcamp.com. I will remix it one day and it put it on the other streaming platforms). I'll also take you underwater with some snapper.  I live on the Mornington peninsula, Melbourne, Australia and take a dip in the Port Phillip bay quite often. Most of all though, I've looked at where the song came from, how it was composed. In this case it was a ‘words first, music 2nd' sort of song. Co-written by myself and mr Paul Dredge, great friend and longtime co-songwriter. Picture Paul and I having a cuppa, In Paul's lounge, back in 1992 in NZ. Paul, having had a brief look at the lyrics, leaps into the opening riff on his acoustic guitar. I ‘wing' a melody as I hold the lyrics sheet, watching Paul play. In this moment we are totally free, tuning into what the other is offering. It's a bit like like ‘theatre sports', where neither actor blocks the other. The idea then is: the story evolves naturally, being plucked out of thin air by two creative souls. We are communicating fully in the moment without speaking, while listening closely to the music that the other person is producing.  We are both improvising in the moment, based on knowledge of the theory of music & visual clues - but most of all, we are just following ‘the feeling' - where the melody, chords and dynamics appear to be guiding us. It's a fascinating process to delve into. I do it on this podcast in a very relaxed, inclusive manner. This is no dry tutorial. I'm not here to tell you how to write as song. But I do share some ideas on how I do compose. I asked Paul to share his memories about the song, so I've included some audio from him (by the way we are 8 songs into our new Folk Rock album. Although he lives in another country, we still write and record, via the internet. Check out 'The Untrodden Track', our last album.). You'll also hear about our 1996 mountain rock performance. An outdoor festival in Manawatu, NZ. Joe Satriani was the headline act - heady stuff for a relatively young band. I start to compose another song on this episode, again (I must go back through the episodes and finish some of these off). I find myself demonstrating on the keys and this leads naturally into the composing process, so I go with it when it happens on this podcast. Here's my weekly blog, where you can find the lyrics to 'Carry Me On', my new seascape painting which I touch on, plus lots of other goodies. www.petepascoe.Wordpress.com If all this sounds pretty good to you, please do email me (info@petepascoe.com) to join my email list. You won't miss a thing that way. Also, if you do enjoy this episode, there's another 149 episodes to discover. Please do leave a favourable review and share this with people whom you think may be interested. Thank you in advance. Ok , without further ado let's get into Carry Me On.

Hello, hello, hello. This IS Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, and I AM Marc Hershon, host for Episode 330. Sorry that this installment is a bit late. I caught a little bit of a cold, which you might still hear in my voice, and didn't want to impinge on your eardrums with my hoarseness. I'm not the ONLY host of Succotash, as you may well know. I share these duties with my awesome counterpart, Tyson Saner, as we switch off episodes so we can bring you the very most bestest clips from soundcasts across the Interverse. Just last week he hosted Epi329, an edition entitled, “Pleasure, Gender & Pens”, where he featured snippets from a trio of soundcasts, including My Pleasure, Gender Reveal, and Pen Pals. It was a delightful roundup for your ears and, if you missed it, you can still catch it across the web at ear joints like Apple & Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Audible.com, iHeart Radio, Soundcloud, PodBay, Podcatcher, YouTube…you get it. And a great place to start listening is right from our homesite, at SuccotashShow.com, where you can dip back into our 11+ years of soundcastery deliciousness. As for this week, and what I have in store for you in this “Early Thanksgiving Feast o' Clips”, we'll be sampling Ghosted!, Overwhelmed & Living with Judith Lucy, My Dad Wrote A Porno, and The Midnight Snack. And the whole shootin' match is brought to you by our longtime, non-paying, freeloading sponsor Henderson's Pants and their new High-Waisted Hip Huggers. Before I wade into the pile of clips for this week, and for those who caught Dana Carvey on this show as my guest for Epi326, where he talked about his new soundcast, The Weird Place, you may be curious how it did in its one week debut. I talked to Dana yesterday and it has ended up in the Top 10 in comedy soundcasts for the past two weeks in a row! So now he's waiting to see if the folks at Team Coco believe in it enough to pony up the scratch to make more episodes. I bet they will. CLIPS My Dad Wrote A PornoOne of the most unique soundcasts when it debuted back in 2015 had to be My Dad Wrote A Porno. Jamie Morton discovered that his father, writing under the nom de plume “Rocky Flintstone”, had written a pornographic novel call Belinda Blinked. Reading it aloud to his friends James Cooper and Alice Levine proved to be too hilarious to keep to themselves so they turned the experience into a soundcast. I actually chatted with the trio back in our Episode 141, which you can check out on our SuccotashShow.com homesite. I wanted to revisit the show because they have recently announced that My Dad Wrote A Porno will be closing down next month. Maybe it's because they're tired of it, or maybe Rocky won't stop writing porn – he's up to his 6th book in the Belinda Blinked saga. This clip is from their “Best of Book 6” episode, where they get into some of Belinda's best bits, so to speak. Ghosted!There is certainly no shortage of soundcasts dealing with the paramormal out there. Many of them lean into comedy because, otherwise, I guess we'd just be scared shitless all the time. Take, for instance, the clip we have from Ghosted! With Roz Hernandez. Specifically from an episode that dropped earlier this month, where Roz' guest was comedian Matt Braunger. In this part of the show, they listened to a couple of EVPs, or “electronic voice phenomena”. If you don't know what those are, Roz explains at the top of the clips. And even with Roz and Matt joking about what they're hearing, you might want to sleep with your light on from now on… Judith Lucy: Overwhelmed & LivingI was turned onto this next Australian-based soundcast from our friend “Jabs”, or Jason McNamara as it says on his birth certificate, host of The DHead Factor, which is currently on the longest hiatus ever, as well as Boganwood. The soundcast is Judith Lucy: Overwhelmed & Living, and Jabs says Judith Lucy has “very dry but hilarious Australian humor”. The show description on Apple Podcasts reads: “After lockdown Judith is still asking the big questions. Between baking and wondering if she had a drinking problem, Judith wondered how happy we'd been in our old lives and why 'back to normal' is not a good idea for us or the planet. She's out to change her life and yours.” In our clip, she decides to make some changes in her home to save money and to benefit the environment. She invites Brett Hedger, the greenhouse programs officer for the City of Port Phillip, over to see just how bad her place is. It's…not good. The Midnight Snack One of the first Succotash listener-slash-supporters-slash-soundcasters out there to start using the term soundcast  for their own show was Dave In The Cave. That's the only name I ever called him (although I do know his name is actually Dave Howard…), and he had a show called Taco Tuesdays. That show ended up, eventually, in the soundcast graveyard – which is a segment we should maybe bring back. After a few years off my radar, Dave In The Cave popped back on when he responded to one of our Succotash tweets last week. It turns out he has a soundcast called The Midnight Snack but he's kind of off the reservation in terms of where the show is distributed. I'm only finding it on Soundcloud, which is a fine place to be – you can find us there, too, of course. The show has an amazing cast of wacky characters who seem to appear only in bumpers between some cool original music. We have a sample from his latest episode 98… That's it.

This week: Space X sends some rich dudes into space, scientists make old skin young again, why a crypto billionaire drives a Corolla, how Richard Dawkins helped a jihadi become an atheist, and Darwin's stolen notebooks are returned!SPACEXSpaceX has sent 4 rich businessmen to the ISS!And, when I say, rich, I don't mean your great uncle who has a boat and flies premium economy - I'm talking Scrooge McDuck rich.While it's not clear exactly how much they paid, Axiom Space, the private startup that's coordinating these flights, have previously said that tickets are about 55 MILLION US DOLLARS.The crew of four blasted off in the Crew Dragon Capsule on Saturday, and were welcomed onto the ISS the next day, where they will stay for eight days conducting science experiments, breaking bread with the professional astronauts already there, and enjoying the incredible views of our Earth.The crew is headed by a former NASA astronaut and current AXIOM employee, a real estate tycoon, a shipping CEO and former fighter-pilot slash businessman.This is no doubt just the start of a burgeoning space tourism industry, that maybe one day, our great, great, great grandkids will be able to enjoy once it becomes affordable for us plebs.YOUNG SKINHave you enjoyed enough beers and ciggies in the sun that your skin's looking like beef jerky?Don't worry about putting in the hard work to change your lifestyle - that's old fashioned. Just get your skin rejuvenated with delicious, nutritious stem cells!Scientists at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge recently collected skin cell samples from three human donors that had an average age of around 50, then exposed the cells to Yamanaka factors for just 13 days to partially anti-age the cells. They then removed the Yamanaka factors and left the cells to grow.⁠The team found that the epigenetic clock of the cells matched the profiles of skin cells that belonged to people who were 30 years younger!So, what are these magical Yamanaka factors? They're the four specialist molecules that reverse cell development, and were discovered in 2007 by Shinya Yamanaka at Kyoto University.Do you love genetics?

You'd treat yourself to some nice wheels, a fancy mansion, maybe start a YouTube channel showing off your lifestyle…Not 30-year-old Sam Bankman-Fried. His net worth is estimated at around $20 billion which he generated over just a few years as CEO of crypto exchange FTX, but he still drives a Corolla!Why? He says you very quickly run out of exciting ways to spend your money!But he's found a way to make use of his fat stacks- all thanks to our mate Peter Singer. Sam, like countless others, read Peter Singer's philosophy as a teenager and was forever changed by it.First he became passionate about reducing animal suffering, and then he got into effective altruism, which is all about reducing human suffering. Since then he's been giving at least half of his salary to effective causes, which is very inspiring.If you want to be inspired by Peter's work, grab a copy of one of his most influential books on effective altruism, ‘The Most Good You Can Do', from our shop.And if you're into philosophical ethics, check out our Think Inc. Academy course starting next month! More info at the link in our bio.ISIS TO ATHEISM From jihadi to atheist- this is the story of Musa Cerantonio.Musa, now going by his birth name of Robert, grew up in Melbourne to Italian parents. He had a pretty average upbringing, but went on to become one of Australia's most notorious jihadis, inspiring young people to join ISIS through his activism and preaching.In 2016, Robert was sent to Port Phillip prison where he's been ever since- until he's released next year.While some inmates become more radical or violent in jail- he's the opposite, and that's thanks to two special and surprising figures: Richard Dawkins and Alexander the Great.While in jail, Robert read ‘The God Delusion', and like many of us, it made him a full blown atheist. As for Alexander the Great- well, that story is a bit more complicated. You'll have to read about it in Graeme Wood's recent article in The Atlantic- it's absolutely fascinating.Once you've finished reading that- grab yourself a signed copy of Dawkins' ‘Science in the Soul' at our shop, and we'll send it off to you, even if you're in jail! We don't judge here.DARWINIAN EASTER MYSTERYIt's Good Friday tomorrow, but librarians had a fantastic Wednesday last month when they were finally returned two missing notebooks belonging to the late Charles Darwin.In 2000 some asshole stole Darwin's notebooks from the Special Collections vault at Cambridge University library. One of the books contained Darwin's famous “tree of life” sketch which shows his earliest theory on the origin of species.For many years the librarians thought the books had simply been misplaced. But in 2020 they completed an in-depth search, including fingertip examinations, which led them to believe the books had most likely been stolen.After pleading to the public for info, just last month the books were returned wrapped in a pink gift bag and with a plain brown envelope with the message:Librarian, Happy Easter, signed XIs this just one massive troll? Is it an angry Christian trolling an Atheist icon? We don't know, but we will be watching this Darwinian Easter Mystery very closely as the police continue their investigations.---That's all for this week. Hopefully we'll catch you at our Brian Greene tour which kicks off in June, or at one of our upcoming Think Inc. Academy courses that start back up next month!Find more information at the link in our bio. See you next time!Sign up to our newsletter → bit.ly/think-sign-up

Inger and Jason have both been dealing with challenges. For Inger it's finding time to work on her romance novels when doing a 37.5 hour week entirely on Zoom. She did, however, manage to get on Etsy and buy angry uterus stickers for her bullet journal.Jason is in Covid lockdown - again! But at least he got to take the tinny (that's a small, metal boat for non-Australian listeners) out with Shainal. The maiden voyage taught Shainal Jnr the importance of going to the bathroom before heading out in Port Phillip bay shipping lanes in 20 knot winds... Jason also answers the question: 'Can you get pulled over by the authorities when you are in a boat?' As it turns out, yes. Twice. Inger does a deep dive on University Bullshit, thanks to a great paper by Ian McCarthy, David Hannaha, Leyland Pitt and Jane M. McCarthy called "Confronting indifference toward truth: Dealing with workplace bullshit”. The paper is a brilliant explanation of bullshit and offers a framework to recognise and offers the 'CRAP' framework for dealing with it. The duo agree that managing to do a serious academic paper with the words 'crap' and 'bullshit' in it is a next level academic practice. Jason then follows up with a paper on whether or not speaking a lot in meetings is a good idea.In our 2 minute tip section, Jason shares a top tip for using your bullet journal to give you a more realistic sense of your accomplishments and Inger gloats (just a little bit) about how many bookshelves there are in her new office.We went long on this one and, honestly, Inger enjoyed it so much she did barely any snippety-doo-dah. Cue this one up for a long drive, a big gardening clean up session or epic list of house hold chores!Links to stuff we mentioned in this episode:The Bullet Journal website Paper: "Confronting indifference toward truth: Dealing with workplace bullshit” (paywalled)Ian McCarty Jnr's video explainer of the bullshit paperPhysicists getting it SO wrong about Covid spread: https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-hard-lessons-of-modeling-the-coronavirus-pandemic-20210128/Inger's papers on PhD progress reporting:Mewburn, I, Tokareva, E, Cuthbert, D et al 2014, ''ThesLeave us a message on www.speakpipe.com/thesiswhisperer.

Transitions Film Festival brought a film screening to Port Phillip in Melbourne, and Mark from Climactic was able to moderate and record the post-screening panel as a live episode. Featuring two young members of the Port Phillip community, and a marine scientist and science communicator from the Port Phillip EcoCentre, this panel grapples with Australia's vulnerability to climate impacts, the present threats of the climate crisis, and looking ahead from the perspective of young people.  For more about Kiribati and the advocacy work by former President Anote Tong, check out this episode from The Australia Institute which they kindly let us share.    See /privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this week's episode, Climactic co-host Mark Spencer talks to Cr Kat Copsey of Port Phillip Council in Melbourne, Victoria. Kat chats about her “aha” moments in her rise to becoming an advocate in the ongoing battle against global warming and also talks of her love for the arts and artistic expression. However on issues as important as climate change Cr Copsey told Mark that “systemic change” was absolutely necessary and the sooner this change is implemented, the better for our society. “I always wished that somebody would do something [about climate change] then I realised I am somebody” said Cr Copsey, words that underline her hands-on approach to climate activism. As part of preparation for our upcoming special on China's decision to restrict Australian recycling imports, Mark asked Kat about the opportunities this presented as well as the dark side of increased costs for councils. She agreed that a crisis such as the Chinese government's decision does indeed create room for shared potential and lists changes made and proposals before Port Phillip council. Enjoy the interview!
