Podcast appearances and mentions of Steve Davis

3.7 kilometres. 236 minutes. Solo. Scott RG returns to Speaking Sidemount to share the story of his Keld Head return dive—from the resurgence to West Kingsdale Master Cave and all the way back, using his KISS Sidewinder rebreather and DPV.Reaching West Kingsdale was only halfway. With nearly two kilometres still to travel, Scott had to stay focused through restrictions, complex navigation and the return through Dead Man's Handshake.I'm Steve Davis, and in this episode we explore the experience and preparation behind that dive: Scottish mine diving, longer cave dives in Mexico and the Dominican Republic, and an earlier attempt where Scott turned around just 300 metres short of his destination.We discuss bailout planning, scooter use, cold-water equipment, solo cave diving and “mission blindness”—the temptation to keep going when it's time to turn. We also reflect on the pioneers featured in The Underground Eiger, John Cordingley's return dive, and Scott's ambitions for a longer journey towards King Pot.Later, Scott shares how a garage fire destroyed around £35,000 of diving equipment, what he chose to replace, and how friends and the diving community helped him get back underwater.A conversation about cave diving, sidemount rebreathers, preparation and the judgement needed to come home.FOLLOW SCOTT RG

Somewhere in an Indonesian shipyard, a new ferry for Kangaroo Island went quiet for three weeks. Dan Clarke, former South Australian Journalist of the Year, double Kennedy Award winner and Walkley winner, arrives with breaking news: Ruwi is back on the tracking signal. From there we cover his start as a messenger at The Advertiser, his move to the island, and his running of Island Independent and the Kangaroo Island News and Satire page. We also talk about why a small community needs a fourth estate even when some readers find the jokes too negative. There’s no SA Drink of the Week in this episode. In the Musical Pilgrimage, Steve Davis and the Virtualosos answer satire with satire. Schrödinger’s Platypus takes a $4 million pledge to bring platypuses back to the River Torrens and asks whether they are in the river, not in the river, or just useful for a press release.

Running Sheet: Kangaroo Island News, Satire, and Frontier Journalism 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week No SA Drink Of The Week this week. 00:03:50 Daniel Clarke Daniel Clarke first came to Kangaroo Island as a boy on family summer holidays at American River. He returned years later with his partner, who had never visited before. She fell for it straight away, and with two young children they decided it was the place to raise a family. He expected freelance work to be scarce. Instead, he says the island has given him the best stories of his career, one after another. His path into journalism started with storm-chasing videos and the Clarke and Dawe segments on the 7.30 Report. He missed out on the university course and got a cadetship at The Advertiser, starting as a messenger. He describes that job, fondly, as the lowest rung in the building: making coffee, handing out faxes, collecting an editor’s dry cleaning, and once buying a cabbage for an editor. On night shifts, the sub-editors began testing him with headline suggestions. He still remembers seeing his “human shields” line in print the next morning, from a story that tied John Howard to the Iraq War protesters. Steve compares Dan to A.W. Merrick in Deadwood, the newspaperman who hauls a printing press into a gold-rush camp and learns the local power brokers push back. Dan knows the comparison well. He has lost friendships over his stories and still sees those people in the checkout line. But he insists he isn’t looking for conflict. His aim is simple: to make the island “a better place and an easier place for people to live.” Then we come to satire. After one reader called his posts “misinformation dressed up as satire,” Dan posted a reminder about what satire is for, with a photo of Valerie, the famous missing sausage dog from his Australian Story documentary. His census parody neatly sums up island debate: islanders want visitors, but not too many visitors, and want cheaper ferries, but not so cheap that more visitors come. He says the piece simply repeats what he hears every day. Another post, about a large branch hanging over a bridge at Cygnet River, shows how absurd the jurisdiction problem can be: the tree stands on council land and the branch hangs over a state government road, so a year later it is still there. Dan argues that satire is “almost the softest way of getting a message across,” and that governments dislike embarrassment enough to act on it. The SeaLink saga is the story Dan would most like to stop writing. The new ferries are more than two years late. The contract, signed under a Liberal government, apparently doesn’t even allow a fine. Almost 30-year-old vessels carry around a quarter of a million sheep off the island each year, and a planned three-day shutdown for ramp works lands in the middle of the sheep-moving season. Earlier cancellations have already cost small tourism businesses thousands of dollars. Steve links this to a wider frustration: governments pursue MotoGP deals while basic services such as freight lag behind. We finish with Dan’s documentaries. Lost in the Woods, now on Binge, won him a Walkley. It investigates the collapse of the island’s blue gum plantations. Millions of tonnes of timber were planted for carbon credits but had no way off the island once the Smith Bay port was blocked, so the wood is now being burnt. Dan filmed logging from the roadside while koalas were still in the trees, and the footage became a major Channel 7 story. His point was that one person with a camera found what the government’s half-day investigation missed. Island of the Dead, on ABC iview through Compass, is very different in tone. It follows death doula Heidi Grieg and three women at the end of their lives who treated death as ordinary and let him film them. Two of them did not live to see the film. Then Steve asks for the headline for Ruwi’s eventual arrival.

A Glam Adelaide headline promised a “major push” to bring platypuses back to the River Torrens, backed by more than $4 million. Reading further, Steve found that the river doesn’t have enough water flow, that foxes, cats and dogs would eat any platypus released there, that there is no identified source of platypuses, and that the study behind the story was from 2022. He also noticed the timing, as the government was changing parklands rules to make way for MotoGP. With Schrödinger’s famous cat in mind, and knowing platypuses spend their days in burrows and their nights underwater, he wrote this song. A cheerful chorus carries a pointed message, and the late physicist turns up in person to explain the “monotreme paradox.” The song follows Dan’s approach to the news: stay calm, state the facts, and let the absurdity show.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a big day on the Agenda ahead of Alumni Weekend for FC Dallas. Ryan, Garrett, and Steve spend the first few minutes talking through the draw against Austin, and why that result may be discouraging but the performances within might have some room for positive outlooks.Then the fun really begins as current Apple TV broadcaster, former FC Dallas and MLS player Dax McCarty joins the program. Dax talks about his time in Dallas, what his first experience was as a professional after joining the team, plays word association with some of his former teammates, and breaks down what he likes about the Burn as they head towards the 2026 MLS Cup playoffs.The FC Dallas Agenda publishes (almost) every Wednesday during the regular season as a part of the FC Dallas Radio Network.

In 1880, a French physician described a patient having up to 200 sleep attacks a day, some triggered by nothing more than a good hand of cards or the sight of his own wine barrels. That case, and an earlier 1877 description from German psychiatrist Carl Westphal, gave the condition its name and its first clinical picture. Dr Travis Brown reads from both original case reports before turning to two guests for where narcolepsy stands today. Di Spillaine, an Australian narcolepsy advocate and lived experience educator, describes going almost 40 years undiagnosed, mistaking her symptoms (childhood hallucinations, cataplexy triggered by laughter, sleep paralysis) for ordinary tiredness until a multiple sleep latency test finally confirmed narcolepsy. Professor Robert Adams, a respiratory and sleep physician at Flinders Medical Centre and medical director of the Adelaide Institute for Sleep Health, explains the underlying orexin deficiency behind narcolepsy type 1, how it differs from everyday tiredness and other sleep disorders, and the diagnostic pathway, including the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and multiple sleep latency testing. What to listen for: the questions Professor Adams suggests a GP ask beyond “are you tired”, and why narcolepsy sits, in his words, at the end of the queue of likely causes but should still be considered in young patients with long-standing, profound sleepiness. This is the story of narcolepsy.

After a three win, nine point week for FC Dallas the Agenda lads reconvene to break it all down. Ryan, Garrett, and Steve talk about what this stretch of games means for the team, winning two of them primarily without the services of their MVP candidate Petar Musa. They also discuss what Dallas' best eleven lineup looks like, and whether knowing as such even matters to this particular club.This week's interview is with midfielder/multi purpose player Ran Binyamin. Ryan talks to Binyamin about growing up as a multi sport athlete who dreamt of playing professional soccer. They also discuss the big differences in MLS compared to his home leagues, and what this season has been like for him joining this group of Dallas players. (32:08)Then the lads finish out talking about some franchise records Dallas can chase down with their continued success, along with selecting which of the remaining matches they think will hold the most intrigue ahead of the 2026 MLS playoffs.(46:41)The FC Dallas Agenda publishes (almost) every Wednesday during the regular season as a part of the FC Dallas Radio Network.

Sexual harassment in medicine is almost universally perpetrated by men, and in over half of doctor-on-doctor cases, it happens in the workplace itself, not at a conference or a staff event. That is one of the findings from a decade of research by Dr Louise Stone, who began this work in 2014 after a young intern disclosed a sexual assault to her in consultation. Dr Travis Brown speaks with Dr Louise Stone, a professor of general practice with expertise in doctors’ health, sexual safety and professionalism, about what her research uncovered. Dr Stone identifies two distinct groups of perpetrators: persistent predators who choose careers with access to power, and a smaller group of senior doctors, often isolated by decades of on-call work, who form inappropriate attachments without the same pattern of repeat behaviour. She explains why junior doctors on rotating three-month terms are especially vulnerable, why specialties such as surgery, psychiatry and pathology carry disproportionate risk, and why zero tolerance policies tend to drive the problem underground rather than reduce it. She also sets out what she has found does help: peer intervention from someone at the same level of seniority as the person behaving badly, and giving survivors clarity on what they actually want from a reporting process, whether that is justice, protection of others, or simply healing. What to listen for: The early warning signs Dr Stone flags for junior doctors and medical students, and why a colleague’s discomfort is worth naming rather than dismissing. This is the story about sexual harassment in medicine.

She was a Bavarian baroness, a childhood playmate of Bavarian royalty, fluent in seven languages, and widowed with two children by her early twenties. Somehow she ended up, more than a decade later, presiding over Government House in Adelaide for the entirety of the First World War, married to a man a historian later called the most pernicious governor South Australia ever had. In episode 439, Susan Neuhaus, author of A Woman in a Thousand: Lady Marie Galway, South Australia, and the Great War, sits down with fellow author Lainie Anderson at the Mortlock Library launch to unpack a story that folds together German suspicion, Catholic prejudice, secret concentration camps, peacock-hunting governors and a genuinely radical stand for equal pay. Paul Burnett, the man behind Galway Pipe’s fortified wines, joins Steve Davis to pour the rare 25-year-old tawny that carries Sir Henry Galway’s name, for the South Australian Drink of the Week. Steve rounds out the episode with the Musical Pilgrimage, previewing his own composition And Drink to Us, a modern-day Greek folk song imagining an uprising against a tyrant laying waste to a beloved town, inspired partly by Lady Marie’s story and partly by Steve’s own frustrations with short-termism in South Australian leadership.

Running Sheet: Lady Marie Galway And Her Husband’s Pipe 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:05:37 SA Drink Of The Week Steve Davis welcomed regular guest Paul Burnett, who steers the fortified wine program behind Galway Pipe, to pour a genuine rarity: the 25-year-old Rare Tawny, presented in a gift box dripping with the kind of heraldic livery Sir Henry Galway himself would have approved of. Burnett explained that a “pipe” is simply a large barrel, roughly 500 litres, which Sir Henry would personally select to serve visiting dignitaries at Government House. Fittingly, Burnett’s own team once repeated the ritual for a modern-day governor, presenting six base tawnies to Government House and letting the current occupants choose their favourite for a bespoke blend. Tasting notes ran from cathedral organ tones and rancio to fruitcake, nutmeg and dried orange peel, with Steve reaching for an unlikely comparison: a luxury car’s suspension, so smooth and integrated you barely notice the road beneath you. At roughly $100 a bottle and 18.5 per cent alcohol, Burnett’s advice was blunt: don’t save it for a special occasion, because opening it is the special occasion, since all the ageing has already been done. Refrigerate after opening, he suggested, and gather six or seven friends, because at 7.3 standard drinks a bottle, this is one built for sharing rather than saving. 00:25:30 Susan Neuhaus and Lainie Anderson Lady Marie Galway arrived in Adelaide in April 1914 as the new governor’s wife, greeted with what Susan Neuhaus called a celebrity welcome: Outer Harbor decked in flags, bands playing, crowds packing the town hall for a glimpse of her and Sir Henry. Lainie Anderson put it more bluntly on the night: they arrived like the Beatles of their day. Nobody in that crowd could have known that within four months the world would be at war, and that this elegant, seven-language-speaking baroness, half Bavarian, half Anglo-Irish, and a practising Catholic in an overwhelmingly Protestant colony, would spend the next four years quietly running the state’s entire volunteer war effort out of the stables at Government House. The contrast with her husband could not have been starker. Sir Henry Galway, twenty years her senior and a career colonial administrator, married Marie in England in August 1913, and it was only a week after the wedding that the announcement came that he was to be South Australia’s seventeenth governor. Neuhaus is clear that this was, by all accounts, an arranged marriage, though she admits she isn’t certain why. He was, in Neuhaus’s telling, a man whose idea of a good afternoon was hunting peacocks, who opposed votes for women, dismissed returned soldiers as lazy, and drew so many complaints to the Colonial Office that a historian later described him as the most disliked governor the state ever had. Marie, ever discreet, left no recorded complaint about him. The closest anyone got was a Broken Hill mayor warning her that angry locals might throw Sir Henry out a window, to which she reportedly replied that the mayor had better tell him that himself. While Henry postured, Marie built institutions that still stand today. Within days of war breaking out she received a telegram asking her to establish South Australia’s first Red Cross, and did, turning the Government House stables into a sorting depot for socks, knitting and parcels bound for the front. She founded the Lady Galway Convalescent Home at Glenelg, backed the Cheer Up Society, edited a fundraising book for Belgian relief that roped in contributors from Douglas Mawson to C.J. Dennis, and, most strikingly for 1914, stood before the Chamber of Commerce and insisted that women moving into clerical and bookkeeping roles be paid the same rate as men. That last point matters more than it might first appear, given the world she was navigating. As the war ground on, anti-German hysteria swept South Australia: German-owned shops on Rundle Street had rocks thrown through their windows, the German language was banned outright, churches at Angaston and Edithburgh were burned down, and a concentration camp operated on Torrens Island, just twelve miles from her front door. Neuhaus admits she still doesn’t know how much Marie knew of what was happening there, but the enigma at the centre of the book is really Marie herself: a woman of German and Catholic heritage who somehow escaped the press scrutiny and public suspicion that consumed almost everyone else who shared her background, and who left South Australia so beloved that the Catholic Archbishop credited her with inspiring a generation of women to believe in their own capabilities.

Steve closed the episode with And Drink to Us, a new track from Steve Davis and The Virtuosos. Reflecting on Lady Marie Galway’s willingness to put her position and Government House’s resources to work for people who genuinely needed help, Steve found himself thinking about agitation and resistance against destructive leadership throughout history, sharpened by a recent re-read of The Iliad and viewing of The Odyssey. The result is a modern-day Greek folk song, cast as a flight of fancy, following a narrator preparing to fight a tyrant who is destroying their town: a haunting, olive-tree-and-candlelight ballad of farewell, defiance and shared wine while there’s still time. Steve floated the hope that a Greek performer might one day breathe further life into the track.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a special edition of the Agenda as the summer international transfer window is now closed across global soccer. FC Dallas didn't leave the window empty handed, signing winger Daniel Job from Norway on deadline day. Ryan, Garrett, and Steve talk about the new Dallas player and where he fits in, along with Dallas' performance overall in this secondary window. (2:14) Then Ryan sat down with Dallas' chief scout Leo Baldo to give supporters the low down about Dallas' newest player. They talk about the process of finding Job, what European giants they beat out for the winger's signature, and revisiting the acquisition of Joaquin Valiente now that we're a few months down the line on his signing. (15:00)Then the Agenda crew talks about the conclusion of FC Dallas' epic road trip ahead of their return to Toyota Stadium Saturday against Kansas City. They break down how the team performed, what their favorite moments were, and set the stage for eight home games out of twelve remaining MLS contests. (30:12)Concluding the show is a comprehensive interview with Dallas netminder Jonathan Sirois. Ryan talks to the Montreal native about growing up in Canada as a two sport athlete, his reaction to being acquired by the Burn shortly before the season, and who helped him make Frisco feel like home as he's integrated his way into Texas.

One doctor’s case from 1901 changed how we understand memory loss. Auguste Deter was 51 when her husband Carl brought her to see Dr Alois Alzheimer in Frankfurt, worried by memory lapses that had turned into paranoia and confusion. When Auguste died five years later, Alzheimer examined her brain and found two things under the microscope: amyloid plaques between nerve cells and neurofibrillary tangles within them. His 1906 presentation to a room of psychiatrists drew no questions at all. It was not until 1910, when Emil Kraepelin included the case in his Handbook of Psychiatry, that the term Alzheimer’s disease appeared in print for the first time. Dr Liam Mulcahy, physician trainee and author of Beyond the White Coat, traces that discovery in detail, then Dr Travis Brown turns to two guests for where the disease stands in 2026. Dr Daniel Clarke, consultant neurologist at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and director of clinical trials at Alzheimer’s Research Australia, covers how Alzheimer’s actually presents (often nothing like the stereotype), why history remains the most important diagnostic tool, and why non-pharmacological measures such as exercise and vascular risk control come before medication. He also explains why family history is often overrated, and why he does not recommend routine APOE4 gene testing. Dr Gemma Daley, consultant chemical pathologist at Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology, explains what the new p-tau181 and p-tau217 blood tests can and cannot tell a GP, who should and should not be referred for them, and why they are adjunctive tests rather than standalone diagnostic tools. What to listen for: the presenting features that separate Alzheimer’s from ordinary age-related forgetfulness, and what a negative or positive p-tau result actually means for a patient in front of you. This is the story of Alzheimer’s disease.

With FC Dallas soon to return home for the first time since before the 2026 World Cup began, the Agenda decided it'd be wise to give supporters a look behind the curtain at what the new Toyota Stadium project has been like. First we've got an interview with FC Dallas' Vice President of Stadium Operations Nick Shafer. Shafer talks with Ryan about the thought process that went into the designs of Toyota Stadium's updates, the challenges faced in updating a stadium in 2026, and what the experience will be like when the dust settles on construction in Frisco.Then Ryan spoke with Moss Construction's Senior Vice President Jim Cuddihee, whose company is boots on the ground for getting Toyota Stadium's renovations done. They talk about what it entails to go from first shovel in the ground to shining new stadium, some of the updated features supporters can expect, and much more. If you're interested in the true nitty gritty of stadium planning and construction, you won't want to miss this. The FC Dallas Agenda publishes (almost) every Wednesday during the regular season as a part of the FC Dallas Radio Network.

Steve Davis surprised himself this week by liking not one but two posts from South Australian Liberal politicians, so he called in long-time political commentator Robert Godden and geopolitics expert David Olney to ask a pointed question: is Peter Malinauskas becoming the Liberal Party’s secret weapon, not by helping them, but by driving his own supporters into their arms? The verdict: Jack Batty and Ashton Hurn are operating like grown-ups in a party otherwise described as riddled with “decrepit fossils and weird cultists,” and the conversation turns to whether Malinauskas’s drift from consensus premier to contentious premier is manufacturing the very opening they need, while the Liberals themselves remain too fractured to properly capitalise on it. From there the trio put South Australia’s Health Minister through the wringer, running his saccharine response to a horror day of ambulance ramping through The Adelaide Show’s free Spin Detector tool, which diagnoses the reply as “flooding the zone with warmth” while the union’s four specific claims quietly leave the room. This episode did not include an SA Drink of the Week segment. The conversation closes on the value, or otherwise, of protest, with Robert and David comparing Sunday’s planned Stop the Chop march to the Vietnam moratorium marches and the Arab Spring, before Steve rounds out the episode with the Musical Pilgrimage: his own new ska track, For Pete’s Sake, a “streetwise, maybe slightly embittered” take on politicians who set sail from the people who elected them.

Running Sheet: Is Peter Malinauskas A Liberal Party Asset? 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week There is no SA Drink Of The Week this week. 00:04:53 Robert Godden and David Olney Is Peter Malinauskas, without meaning to, building the Liberal Party’s next asset? That’s the question Steve Davis put to Robert Godden and David Olney after finding himself, against every instinct, liking videos from Bragg MP Jack Batty and Opposition Leader Ashton Hurn. Godden’s answer arrived with a caveat wrapped in a compliment: “it would have to be said that Ashton Hirne and Jack Batty have only a vague resemblance to the entire rest of the Liberal Party.” He rates them as two capable, switched-on operators surrounded by what he bluntly called “decrepit fossils and weird cultists” — but he’s blunt about where any Liberal opportunity is actually coming from. Asked whether there’s now something for the Liberals to seize, Godden pushed back hard on the framing: “I don’t agree with that… They’re riven with division,” pointing to a 40,000-signature petition against the premier as evidence that discontent is building on Labor’s own side of the ledger, not because of anything the Liberals have done. David Olney sharpened that point into a broader theory about how governing parties eventually lose the benefit of the doubt. “At a certain point, the ideology smells like five-day-old fish,” he said, and once a party in power starts breaking things badly enough, voters go looking for competent alternatives regardless of their politics. In this reading, Batty and Hurn aren’t succeeding because the Liberals have fixed themselves — they’re succeeding because Malinauskas’s own missteps are softening up his supporters and making them receptive to a Liberal alternative for the first time in years. Godden underlined how fragile even that is, noting a federal example where a promising, competent candidate “lasted six months before the rabble that has no chance of winning decided that they’d rather destroy it for themselves than destroy her.” The pair also dismantled the comfortable idea that Labor’s 41 per cent polling represents genuine popularity. As Godden put it, “if a 39, 40% is a big win these days, you know, two-thirds of people don’t actually want you there,” while Olney pushed further into theory, arguing that Australia’s compulsory voting system means elections are increasingly decided by negativity bias rather than enthusiasm: “more people reach decisions in politics not based on who I like, but on based on who I don’t like.” The implication, left hanging over the rest of the segment, is that if Malinauskas keeps generating reasons for his own base to switch off, Batty and Hurn may not need to do very much at all to become the beneficiaries. The discussion pivoted from parliamentary sparring to street-level action, with Steve Davis probing whether Sunday’s Stop the Chop march — protesting parkland clearing for a motorsport event — carries any real weight in 2026. Godden was characteristically unsentimental: “the only benefit you’ll get out of this march is, is publicity, and continuing to maybe foment more anger in the community, because 40,000 quite angry people won’t get it there.” Olney offered the historical counterpoint that protest’s real value in the 1960s wasn’t its immediate political impact but the fact that it taught a generation “relearning collective action, relearning organisation, relearning holding their political leaders to account” — skills he argues have atrophied in a population that has “shrunk into our little black screens.” That theme of decline without a single dramatic collapse ran through the episode’s most striking tangent, when Olney cited historians’ work dating the fall of Rome not to the sacking of the city but to the point where the empire “stopped solving more than half of its problems every year” — a shift he places somewhere between 112 and 142 CE, and which he half-jokingly maps onto Australia’s own trajectory from around 1980. Godden couldn’t resist the follow-up: does that make Malinauskas South Australia’s Trajan? “Yeah, basically,” Olney replied, before noting the state is still waiting on its Marcus Aurelius. 00:45:30 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage this week we listen to Pete’s Sake by Steve Davis & The Virtualosos. For this episode’s musical pilgrimage, Steve Davis premieres his own composition rather than paying tribute to another artist: “For Pete’s Sake,” a comedic ska track from Steve Davis and The Virtuosos, built to fuse the genre’s “upbeat, zany” energy with pointed commentary on the state government’s parklands and MotoGP saga. The song was directly inspired by the premier’s choice of language toward protesters, whom he has variously labelled “ragtag extremists” and “cultural elites,” a framing Davis skewers by noting the real elite will likely be sipping champagne in the “exclusive money can’t buy VIP areas” at the racetrack itself. As Davis puts it, sometimes many a true word is spoken in jest — and occasionally it gets sung in ska.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

*Disclaimer: we recorded this when we expected Osaze Urhoghide to be suspended vs RSL but he is not, he is now sitting on 4 (yellow card warning) and is available to play*After a moderate layoff the FC Dallas Agenda is back and stronger than ever. Ryan, Steve, and Garrett break down what's happened since the last time they conveyed which in this case includes all of the 2026 Leagues Cup. They talk through what happened stateside and in Mexico, and what the outcomes mean for the club going forward. (3:34)Then it's interview time and it's hard to get any bigger than the Moose himself. Petar Musa joins Garrett for a wide ranging interview talking about his journey to and performance in the World Cup, what it's like scoring against England, and his ambitions the rest of the way. (29:10).After that the Agenda lads talk about the most recent game, Dallas 2-1 win over hated rival Austin at Q2 Stadium. (44:54) They then close out with a mini version of the Buildup where they take a look at this week's midweek opponent Real Salt Lake. (1:07:00)The FC Dallas Agenda publishes (almost) every Wednesday during the regular season as a part of the FC Dallas Radio Network. The hosts of the FC Dallas Agenda are Ryan Figert, Garrett Melcer, and Steve Davis. The executive producer of the FC Dallas Radio Network is Sam Hale. 

Two teenage patients, thirty years apart, changed how bone sarcomas are treated. In 1890, seventeen-year-old Bessie Dashiell saw New York surgeon William Coley with a painful hand. Despite an amputation, she died of metastatic cancer ten weeks later. Coley’s search for a better answer led him to Coley’s toxin, a bacterial treatment now recognised as an early form of immunotherapy. In 1921, pathologist James Ewing treated a fourteen-year-old girl with a wrist tumour he believed was osteosarcoma. Coley’s toxin failed. Radiotherapy, tried next, worked, even though osteosarcoma is classically radiotherapy-resistant. The tumour turned out to be a different disease entirely, now known as Ewing sarcoma, accounting for around 15 percent of bone sarcomas. Dr Travis Brown traces both stories in detail, then turns to two guests for the clinical picture in 2026. Dr Liz Connolly, medical oncologist at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and oncology research fellow at ProCan Children’s Medical Research Institute, covers staging (localised versus advanced), chemotherapy regimens for osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma, targeted therapies, and why immunotherapy has so far shown limited benefit in these cancers. She also discusses five-year survival, which sits around 70 percent for localised osteosarcoma or Ewing sarcoma, and why chondrosarcoma remains difficult to treat with drugs. Professor Angela Hong, clinical professor at the University of Sydney and radiation oncologist at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, explains why Ewing sarcoma responds so well to radiotherapy while osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma do not, how multidisciplinary teams decide between surgery and radiotherapy, current dosing and an active Australian phase III trial, and why early referral to a sarcoma centre matters regardless of where a patient lives. What to listen for: the diagnostic overlap between early bone sarcoma symptoms and everyday musculoskeletal complaints, and what that means for when to consider imaging and referral.

Bone sarcomas are rare, accounting for 0.2% of all cancer diagnoses, with around 200 cases diagnosed in Australia each year. The three main types differ by age and site: osteosarcoma (around 30 to 35% of cases, often in the arms, legs and pelvis, with peaks in adolescence and again in the seventies and eighties), chondrosarcoma (around 30% of cases, typically in adults over 40), and Ewing sarcoma (around 15% of cases, most common in children). Professor Fiona Maclean, an anatomical pathologist, describes bone sarcoma diagnosis as a pattern-recognition challenge made harder by rarity, noting that tumour type and stage are the two most useful pieces of information for a GP reading a pathology report. A/Professor Richard Boyle, an orthopaedic oncological surgeon, outlines the red flags, including unexplained deep bone pain and night pain, and the diagnostic pathway from X-ray through biopsy to multidisciplinary review.

In this episode of Around the School Table (xuno.com.au/podcasts), host Steve Davis is joined by Dr Selena Fisk, a Data Storyteller and Founder of SelenaFisk.com, to explore how schools can move beyond simply collecting data and instead build a culture where evidence supports better teaching, stronger leadership, and improved student outcomes. Drawing on her experience as a former teacher, researcher, and education consultant, Selena explains why schools should strive to become data-informed rather than data-driven. Throughout the conversation, Selena reflects on her early teaching career in the United Kingdom, where school performance was judged heavily against a single achievement metric. Consequently, she shares how that experience shaped her belief that data should never become a tool for compliance or fear. Instead, it should encourage curiosity, professional conversations, and thoughtful decision-making. She also explains why every dataset contains limitations and why triangulation, using multiple sources of evidence, helps educators develop a more accurate understanding of student learning. The discussion also explores Selena's doctoral research into student perceptions of feedback. She reveals that many students genuinely want to understand where they sit within their learning journey. However, they also value meaningful conversations that help them interpret feedback rather than simply receiving grades. Furthermore, she explains how schools can foster confidence by encouraging dialogue between teachers and students while ensuring data remains connected to the people behind the numbers. The conversation examines how school leaders can improve data conversations by creating practical frameworks that guide staff from analysing evidence through to prioritising actions. Rather than allowing meetings to become compliance exercises, Selena demonstrates how curiosity, structured questioning, and clear priorities can transform school improvement conversations into purposeful action. The episode also discusses simplifying school data systems, reducing technology barriers, and making information more accessible for teachers. In addition, Selena highlights why educators should use data to celebrate progress, identify strengths, and recognise growth instead of focusing solely on gaps or deficiencies. Practical examples illustrate how recognising improvement can positively influence student identity, motivation, and engagement. Finally, the conversation examines responsible interpretations of NAPLAN results and the importance of understanding school performance within its broader community context. Selena also shares inspiring examples from her work with remote Australian schools, demonstrating how careful analysis of attendance, engagement, and community feedback can lead to meaningful educational change. This episode provides valuable insights for teachers, school leaders, and education professionals seeking to create ethical, evidence-informed school cultures where data prompts better questions, stronger collaboration, and more confident decisions.

Adelaide Climate Action Week co-founder Mark Rowland joins Steve to unpack The Great AI Climate Debate, the Oxford-style contest his organisation staged this week between the “carbon glutton” and “silicon saviour” camps. Rather than settling for headline alarm about data centres guzzling power like mid-sized nations, Mark walks through the nuance: how much of that energy use is genuinely AI rather than general cloud computing, why the time horizon people use to judge AI shapes their verdict, and how concepts like the Jevons paradox and the “time value of carbon” complicate any tidy answer. He leaves listeners with a practical, human-scaled way to think about their own digital footprint. Renmark’s 23rd Street Distillery supplies the South Australian Drink of the Week, and it’s a genuine coup: their single malt has just been named Australian Distillery of the Year at the New York International Spirits Competition, outscoring Glenmorangie, Highland Park and a 31-year-old Crown Royal. Head distiller Paul Burnett returns to the show to talk peat, oak and the fine art of finishing a whiskey in casks that once held tawny, muscat and Tokay. The Musical Pilgrimage closes the episode on a reflective note, with Steve premiering his own composition, Higher Legacy, written for two Adelaide City Council gardeners whose combined century of service tending the city’s parks and squares is honoured on a plaque in Rymill Park — and for everyone, past and present, quietly building something worth protecting.

Running Sheet: The Great AI Climate Debate 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:04:00 SA Drink Of The Week There SA Drink Of The Week this week is 23rd Street Distillery Australian Single Malt Whisky. Steve opens with a pop quiz: name a South Australian product that just outscored Glenmorangie, Highland Park and a 31-year-old Crown Royal at a fraction of the price. It’s whiskey, specifically Renmark’s 23rd Street Distillery, freshly named Australian Distillery of the Year at the New York International Spirits Competition, with their single malt scoring 96 points against entries from 39 countries. Head distiller Paul Burnett, returning for another visit, credits the win to restraint rather than showmanship: a low-level peat profile, around half a percent in the finished blend, used as what he calls a “complexing agent,” paired with an unusually wide range of cask finishes, from first-fill bourbon barrels to old tawny, muscat and Tokay casks. Steve, tasting alongside him, works through notes of honeyed fruit, fig, all-spice and a citrus edge that shifts as the glass warms in his hand, while Paul walks through the distinction between “heads, hearts and tails” in distillation and how the team’s small-batch, six-way finishing blend has quietly shifted in proportion release after release. The pair also compare notes on serving it right: a proper tulip glass, a touch of water, room temperature rather than ice, and, in Paul’s case, a slice of chocolate or nuts alongside it. Steve, for his part, admits an evening spent testing whiskey sours and old fashioneds the night before only confirmed his preference for drinking it neat. 00:35:20 Mark Rowland and Adelaide Climate Action Week Steve opens by declaring his hand: he uses AI daily for work, has solar and a battery, drives an EV, and admits the more he learns about what sits behind that lifestyle, the less smug he gets to feel about it. It’s a fitting frame for a conversation built around nuance rather than tribal certainty. Mark explains why Adelaide Climate Action Week chose an actual Oxford-style debate over a polite panel discussion, tapping into people’s competitive instincts to get them to actually take a position rather than scroll through it. The audience voted before and after: undecided voters dropped from 24% to single digits, and belief that AI will be a net negative for climate rose from 56% to over 70%. The real story, though, was in the follow-up conversations, where the deciding factor wasn’t the argument itself but the time horizon people used. Ask about the next five years and the mood turns pessimistic; ask about 20 to 50 years out and people start to believe things will improve. The pair dig into the “carbon glutton” case, distinguishing AI-specific energy demand from data centres in general, since cloud storage and streaming were already drawing power long before AI arrived. Mark points out that air conditioning, EV charging and industrial electrification are all expected to outgrow AI’s energy demands in the years ahead, and that steel and concrete for data centre construction already account for roughly 14% of global emissions. He also raises a genuinely alarming case: a data centre approval in an African nation that led authorities to cut off a village’s water supply, with fatal consequences, the kind of guardrail failure he says South Australia needs to avoid as its own data centre legislation opens the door to rapid growth. On the more optimistic “silicon saviour” side, Mark describes a proposed Barossa data centre project that would generate two to three times the renewable energy it needs, feed the surplus back into the community, and capture atmospheric moisture from its waste heat to supply water to nearby farmers and wineries, reducing pressure on the Murray. He frames this as “hybrid intelligence” in action: letting machines handle the split-second optimisation work, like grid load-shifting to squeeze more renewables in without new poles and wires, while humans retain the judgement calls machines aren’t suited to. Steve presses on the Jevons paradox, the pattern where efficiency gains simply invite greater use rather than genuine savings, and confesses to his own sprawling AI toolkit, from Claude to NotebookLM to Suno. Mark’s response is refreshingly proportionate: an individual’s prompt volume is negligible against industrial-scale use, and Google’s own sustainability reporting shows the energy and water cost per prompt has dropped by roughly half in a couple of years, even as overall usage climbs. The conversation lands on the “time value of carbon,” the idea that AI’s emissions are happening now while its promised climate benefits, if they arrive at all, are speculative and delayed. It closes with Mark’s own conviction, shaped by a master’s degree in climate change, that humanity’s Anthropocene-era warming is real, drawn partly from personal memory of snow days in his native England that simply don’t happen anymore. Asked to leave listeners with something to hold onto, Mark returns to a theme James Clear would recognise from Atomic Habits: start with the smallest available step. Downloading rather than streaming a favourite album, watching YouTube at 720p instead of 4K on a phone, deleting old emails sitting in a data centre somewhere: none of it solves the problem alone, but it restores a sense of agency against the temptation to slide into overwhelm or apathy. Further information Adelaide Climate Action Week Google’s 11th annual Environmental Report 01:27:56 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage this week we listen to Higher Legacy by Steve Davis & The Virtualosos The Musical Pilgrimage takes an unexpectedly personal turn this week. Prompted by a photograph shared in a local Facebook group of a plaque in Rymill Park honouring brothers Antonio and Carmine Lepore, whose combined century of tending Adelaide’s parks and squares began back when Clydesdales still pulled bakers’ carts through the suburbs, Steve wrote an original song called Higher Legacy. Inspired by the plaque’s closing line, borrowed from the idea that a society grows great when people plant trees whose shade they’ll never sit in, the song also nods to Jane Goodall’s advice to Adelaide listeners years ago: when the world’s problems feel overwhelming, start with the square metre you’re standing on. Brought to life with Steve’s virtual session band, The Virtualosos, it’s offered as a piece for anyone who wants to take it, own it, and perform it as their own.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a double match week the Agenda is back! Just like FC Dallas had to rotate their roster so too did the Agenda, as Steve was unavailable for today's podcast so producer Sam stepped off the bench and into the starting lineup. The lads discuss the big recent Burn news of new Homegrown signing Benji Flowers, what it means for the 15 year old phenom and the club as a whole, and what to expect as Flowers progresses through the system.Flowers isn't the only new FC Dallas player, as Rhode Island FC midfielder Clay Holstad has joined the club on loan. Garrett has an interview with the newest Burn player talking about his journey from USL to MLS and his connections to manager Eric Quill.Then the lads talk through what happened in the 2-2 draw against Portland and the 1-nil loss against San Diego, before discussing the upcoming Leagues Cup and all that implies. The FC Dallas Agenda publishes (almost) every Wednesday during the regular season as a part of the FC Dallas Radio Network. The hosts of the FC Dallas Agenda are Ryan Figert, Garrett Melcer, and Steve Davis. The executive producer of the FC Dallas Radio Network is Sam Hale.

In this episode of Around the School Table (xuno.com.au/podcasts), host Steve Davis is joined by Stephanie Doyle, Founder of The Conference Planners (theconferenceplanners.com.au/), to explore how thoughtfully designed conferences can become powerful drivers of professional learning, leadership, and collaboration across Australian education. Drawing on her experience working with education networks, government systems, peak bodies, and school leaders, Stephanie shares why successful conferences begin with strategy rather than logistics. Instead of focusing solely on speakers and schedules, she explains how understanding delegate needs, defining clear objectives, and designing purposeful experiences lead to meaningful learning that continues long after the event concludes. Throughout the conversation, Stephanie explains why face-to-face professional learning remains invaluable despite the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and unlimited online information. While technology can provide quick answers, she believes genuine conversations, shared experiences, and collaborative problem-solving create insights that simply cannot be replicated online. As a result, conferences provide school leaders with dedicated time to reflect, connect with peers, and develop practical solutions for their own school communities. The discussion also explores the evolving role of educational leadership. Stephanie highlights how increasing compliance, wellbeing responsibilities, staffing challenges, and operational complexity have transformed the work of school leaders. Consequently, she explains why modern conferences must provide opportunities to build leadership capacity, encourage peer learning, and create environments where authentic conversations can flourish. In addition, Steve and Stephanie examine how conferences can better support both experienced and emerging leaders. They discuss the importance of intentional networking, structured collaboration, and creating welcoming experiences that help new leaders build meaningful professional relationships. Furthermore, Stephanie shares how exhibitors and education partners can achieve greater success by focusing on genuine engagement instead of transactional interactions. The episode also considers the importance of purposeful conference design, meaningful reflection, and measuring success beyond attendee satisfaction surveys. Stephanie explains why the most effective events are built around clear outcomes, trusted relationships, and practical implementation that benefits schools long after delegates return to their classrooms and leadership teams. Whether you are a classroom teacher, school leader, system leader, or education partner, this conversation offers valuable insights into designing conferences that inspire collaboration, strengthen leadership, and create lasting impact across Australian education.
