As things in the NRL start heat up in the finals, one Rooster looks like he could be on the rotisserie ready to be bagged up and left in a warmer at your Coles Local for a much longer time than the health department recommends.And as that Rooster rapidly bakes up a near lethal dose of footy salmonella, an equally pungent stench descends upon the crimson and myrtle of Redfern and our heroes tackle the biggest question in sports today- Will Wayne cut the cheese? Speaking of things that stink, Ashley Klown lives to leave an odour on another final, we unpack how the Raiders followed through in the last 20 minutes and the MRC, Judiciary and pretty much the whole NRL cop a well earned crop dusting of verbal, grapplised Flatulence .Never ones to shy away from toilet humour and characterise the once proud NRL as mere Banther Fodder. Stay calm, keep Grappling and watch out for Mynocks.
We have a very special guest on the show today. He’s a Western Sydney rapper, producer, and filmmaker, and member of the Full Circle collective. Pushing the envelope with every release, his newest EP ‘The New Film Star’ came out a few days ago and has flipped the script once again. Reading like a blockbuster film at the box office, it tells a tale of self-doubt and external prejudices as a mixed-race artist. In the process, he creates an expansive, signature sonic universe. Joining us in the studio today, is none other than Zion Garcia. This episode was produced and edited by Nick Hibbs. Out of the Box is recorded at the fbi station in Redfern, which is on unceded Gadigal Land. We pay our respects to Gadigal elders past and present and recognise the ongoing colonial violence committed across this country. Wherever you’re tuning in from in so-called Sydney, the land always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode, Rebecca talks to Troy Redfern, multi-instrumental slide guitarist, producer and band leader. Sadly, the interview was affected by technical issues – the video glitches in places, and the recording of her voice was distorted and had an echo which we could not eradicate. Producer Colin Speller has has created shortened versions of the questions and interjections, and it is his voice you will hear instead of Rebecca's. We hope this doesn't spoil your enjoyment of Troy's contribution.

In this episode, Jeff Morgan opens up about his turbulent upbringing in Redfern, his rise through the ranks of Sydney’s criminal underworld and the choices that led him into a life of bank robberies and fast money. From the chaos of "The Block" to high-stakes heists across state lines, Jeff shares the gritty reality behind the headlines. Alongside the deeply personal costs, including fractured family ties and years behind bars. But this is also a story of redemption.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Jeffrey Morgan isn't your typical coach. He's a life strategist and the 2024 Australian Mindset & Life Coach of the Year. Jeffrey grew up in Eveleigh St, Redfern, known as The Block, a place of hard, tough streets where even the police don't want to go. Riots, violence, drugs, and theft led to him spending 20 years behind bars for bank robbery.

Nearly a year into his CFO role at Reltio, James Redfern still feels like he's catching up. “I've made some progress, but I'm definitely not where I… need to get,” he tells us. That steep learning curve was exactly what drew him to the company.Redfern didn't find the Reltio opportunity through recruiters. Instead, it surfaced during a casual conversation with a mentor. “I was actually looking at something else,” he recalls. “And he said, ‘Oh, if you're looking… I'm on the board of a company that's looking for a CFO.'” That kind of personal connection—what Redfern calls “psychic safety”—has guided his last two career moves. It's less about who you know casually, he tells us, and more about “people you actually have worked with.”At Reltio, Redfern stepped out of his comfort zone. After years in application-layer software companies like Workday and PayScale, he shifted into deep IT infrastructure. Reltio's platform ensures enterprise data is clean and consistent across systems—a need made more urgent by the rise of AI. “You need a reliable, unified view of your data,” he explains. “One customer equals one customer—not three different customers in three different systems.”With 190 customers and $160 million in annual recurring revenue, Reltio works with some of the world's largest enterprises. The company's mission, Redfern tells us, is to replace legacy systems like Informatica and IBM with cloud-native data unification at scale.For Redfern, the attraction wasn't the title. It was the challenge. “This is the kind of journey I committed myself to,” he says.
Kia ora e te whānau. As the sport of trail and ultramarathon running evolves, we find ourselves searching for that extra 1%. Whether it's in efficiency and speed (just witness the spectacle of the elite aid stops at Western States) or pushing that bit further, it seems like we are heading towards uncharted territory. This week on Dirt Church Radio, we bring you two interviews with athletes who know how to go the Well. Sam Harvey makes his DCR three-peat this week and talks to Andrew about (literally) running himself to a standstill as the assist in the recent world-record-breaking 118-hour/790 km knock at Dead Cow Gully. Stephen Redfern is notable for several things, including his ongoing feud with Andrew McDowall, but most recently for his (complicated) podium finish in the 400-mile self-propelled adventure through six Southern states of the USA in The Last Annual Heart of the South road race.

THE PYJAMA BOY Steven Murphy spent his formative years in Sydney's Redfern. Abandoned by his mother when only weeks old, his father left him in the care of a cruel, alcoholic stepmother while he himself was in jail. Unbelievably, the child they dubbed the "Pyjama Boy" fought his way through life to achieve his ultimate goal. His story is a poignant and haunting one that captivates its reader from the very beginning and remains long after the book has been closed. AN INSPIRATIONAL TALE OF SUCCESS AGAINST THE ODDS . . . TOPICS OF CONVERSATION: Childhood Abuse and Trauma Stephen discusses his harrowing upbringing—abandonment, neglect, and physical/emotional abuse by a stepmother—with raw honesty. These experiences form the foundation of The Pajama Boy memoir. Resilience and Transformation A major theme is how he overcame adversity through perseverance, military service, and eventually becoming a police officer. He emphasizes self-worth, emotional growth, and the importance of breaking cycles. Emotional Honesty and Vulnerability Stephen reflects on shame, emotional wounds, lost relationships, and the impact of unresolved trauma. He explains his decision to be candid rather than paint himself as a hero and why that matters to him and his readers. The Book's Evolution and Re-release He shares why he originally wrote The Pajama Boy, why he's re-releasing it with updates, and how feedback led to changes—particularly the shift from third-person narration to first-person in the sequel for deeper personal connection. Sequel and Multimedia Integration The upcoming sequel is discussed in detail—its emotional intensity, inclusion of reflections from family members, and the innovative use of video footage tied to book chapters to enhance reader engagement. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Steven Murphy is an Australian author and speaker, whose book The Pyjama Boy offers a raw, unfiltered account of surviving a childhood marked by abandonment, abuse, and neglect. Once known on the streets of Redfern as “the boy in the crumpled pyjamas,” Steven overcame extraordinary adversity to serve in the military, become a police officer, and later, a nationally sought-after speaker. First released nearly two decades ago and now reintroduced with new reflections, The Pyjama Boy is a powerful reminder that trauma does not define a person—how they respond to it does. Today, Steven speaks at schools, youth centers, and community events across Australia, using real photos, documents, and unsparing honesty to connect with audiences and spark conversations about resilience, identity, and hope.

On 10 December 1992, Australia's Prime Minister, Paul Keating, addressed a crowd in a Sydney suburb called Redfern, to mark the UN's International Year of the World's Indigenous People. What started as a low-key affair, is remembered as one of the most powerful speeches in Australian history. It was the first time an Australian Prime Minister took moral responsibility for the horrors committed against Indigenous Australians. The speech received significant backlash, but it's often credited with paving the way for a later Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, to issue a formal apology to Indigenous Australians. In 2007, ABC radio listeners voted it the third most unforgettable speech in history behind Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' speech and Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Don Watson wrote the speech. He speaks to Ben Henderson.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.
