Podcasts about Tamworth

This week we catch up with another member of the “bush trainer brigade” - those remarkable people who continue to bring  the very best out of horses of limited ability while paying just as much for chaff, oats and associated supplements as their city counterparts. This week's podcast guest recently relocated from one country location to another. After many successful years at Bendemeer near Tamworth, Jane Clement and husband Rob recently moved to a 50 acre farm at Mendooran. The new location will afford Jane and Rob easy access to many western and northern meetings. The Jane Clement story makes for a very interesting podcast and we're delighted to have her join us this week. Jane explains the reasons she chose to move out west after a lifetime at Bendemeer. She says her previous training property embraced most of the long defunct Bendemeer racecourse. Undulating terrain gave her horses a beneficial change from flat track training. Jane looks  back on childhood days on the family farm at Bendemeer where horses were a major part of her life. She began riding trackwork at an early age for her maternal grandfather, the legendary Tamworth trainer Merv Corless.  She talks of the lessons learned from her late grandfather. Jane remembers the “iron gelding” Akwazoff who was trained throughout his long career by Merv Corless. She looks back on a short stint as an amateur rider which yielded 25 wins. Her first day as a picnic jockey brought an unexpected surprise. Jane hasn't forgotten her first win as a professional trainer. She had to go through a fair bit of anguish before the numbers went up. She looks back on her first and only win on a Sydney track. She's rarely seen in town. Jane talks affectionately of her all time favourite Chrysolaus who posted 6 wins and 7 placings. The trainer looks back on his most important wins.  Jane pays tribute to the late John Clift, owner of Chrysolaus and the breeder of champion Gunsynd. The trainer explains her unrelenting loyalty to female jockeys. She acknowledges some of the girls who've helped her along the way. Like many bush trainers Jane is a regular user of the bi-monthly Inglis Digital auction. She talks of several bargain buys sourced in recent years. Jane is justifiably proud of her son Braith Nock, last season's champion Sydney apprentice jockey. She looks back on his early experience as a bull rider. She brings us up to date on the progress of Braith's sister Dana who's apprenticed to Brett and Georgie Cavanough Cavanough at Scone. Jane talks of the wide range of tracks within reach of her new training property at Mendooran.  She talks of the mode of transport used to get her horses to the races. Jane says a recent win at Tamworth tugged her heartstrings. A nice chat with a trainer who's been in the company of horses most days of her life.

Happy 2026. This Episode is hosted by Chris Maffeo and brought to you by MAFFEO DRINKS. A Deep-Dive Analysis of This Episode is Available at maffeodrinks.com Steve Grasse returns to MAFFEO DRINKS for a conversation about the current state of the spirits industry. Grasse, founder of Quaker City Mercantile and Tamworth Distillery, brings perspective from both the brand building and distillery sides of the business.His previous work includes Hendrick's Gin and his current portfolio spans luxury craft spirits at Tamworth to the non-alcoholic Pathfinder brand. The previous episode with Grasse (Episode 27, recorded roughly two years ago when Brand Mysticism first came out) was one of the best-performing episodes on the podcast.The discussion examines what Grasse calls the "Spirits Apocalypse," a structural correction facing the industry through overproduction of bourbon and whiskey, shifting consumer habits, and the fading novelty of craft distilling. The conversation moves from macro industry dynamics to brand fundamentals, exploring how core brand strength determines survival when market conditions turn hostile. The talk emphasizes the importance of strong brand fundamentals, challenges of rapid expansion, and the rise of new-to-world Ready-To-Drink innovations, providing actionable advice for both established and emerging brands navigating this tumultuous market.Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Welcome Back00:19 The Spirits Apocalypse: An Overview01:15 Craft Distilling: Challenges and Changes03:47 Brand Fundamentals and Market Shifts05:23 Advice for Craft Distillers08:54 Innovative Success Stories11:53 The Importance of Core Brand Values13:50 Adapting to Market Changes16:07 Tamworth Distillery Portfolio and Business Model18:45 The Celebrity Exit Delusion vs Building for Passion21:30 Experimentation and Pragmatism Over Big Bets23:15 Brand Ambassadors Must Drive Sales, Not Just Talk25:40 FMCG Invasion vs Old School Intuition - Industry Polarization28:20 On-Trade vs Off-Trade Debate is Obsolete30:10 Board Pressure and Why Solid Brand Core Enables Tactical Freedom33:25 Physical Fitness Core Analogy - Brand Strength as Insulation35:54 Conclusion and Final Thoughts This episode is brought to you by MAFFEO DRINKS, an Advisory helping drinks leaders execute bottom-up growth while managing stakeholder expectations.

Alex Forsyth presents political debate from St Paul's Church in Fazeley, near Tamworth

News of Silent Keys:- Greg Ackman VK4BBX and Ray Hinks VK4LU Sad news to report that TARC Life Member Ray Hinks VK4LU has gone Silent Key. Ray was a former member of the Queensland Police Service, a foundation member of the Townsville Civil Defence Volunteers, and a volunteer with the Townsville Division of the Queensland State Emergency Service. Ray came to Australia with his family from the UK when only a nipper but could remember the bleak weather in Blighty. He much enjoyed the tropical weather of Townsville, constantly scoffed the weather boffins' forecast for rain and rugged up well when the temperature in North Queensland dipped below 15C. Ray did great things for theTARCinc, serving as Treasurer and also setting up through the local federal members of Parliament permission to print the magazine of renown, Back-scatter, an arrangement that continues to this day. While in good health, Ray was also active on HF and out in the field, helping with many comms support events. He enjoyed holidays away fruit picking and occasionally touring the Cape in his old but reliable Hi-Lux van (he went places with the 2-wheel drive vehicle many 4WD drivers would avoid) and always said that he would be lucky to see 70years old. Well, he made it to 92. During the last year, Rays's health started to decline even more, and a diagnosis of Stage 4 Cancer sealed the deal. He enrolled in the Volunteer Assisted Dying scheme, set his affairs in order and went Silent Key in Townsville University Hospital on Friday, 23rd January at 0400UTC. Before passing between 0335 and 0338UTC Ray's daughter Yvette, went on-air as Ray's Second Operator through the Townsville VHF Repeater and asked for any stations to send Ray any last messages. TARC Club Station VK4WIT responded, wishing Ray good DX and best journeys on his DXpedition in the next world. Ray's funeral was a private service attended by family members. Vale Ray Hinks VK4LU - Silent Key. VK4BBX Two men died in a light plane crash north of the Gold Coast shortly after taking off from a private airstrip at about 6 am on Tuesday en route to a small town near Tamworth in NSW. Police have confirmed the 73-year-old pilot from Beenleigh and his male passenger, believed to be from Sydney, died at the scene. They were the only occupants of the plane which came down just after take-off in bushland in Jacobs Well, near the Heck Field Airstrip, shortly before 6 am on Tuesday. The Pilot? VK4BBX Greg Ackman Greg was the founder of Mobile One antennas. He built the business from a garage-based operation during the 1970s. He became a ham in late 2021. VK4BBX was a familiar face in the Australian amateur radio community, often showcasing Mobile One products at field days and events. Vale VK4BBX.

Send us a textJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musiciansFour Golden Guitars, a sold-out Tamworth, and a denim-clad manifesto—Max Jackson joins us to open the door on Dangerous in Denim and why albums still matter. We kick off with the festival whirlwind, then dive into how she shaped an 11-track set that plays like a story from the first needle drop to the last ring-out. Vinyl and CDs are coming because this record is meant to be lived with, not skimmed.Max takes us behind the pen, from writing rooms in Australia with Nolan Wynne, Gavin Carfoot, Amy and George Shepherd, and Kaylee Bell to Nashville sessions that brought fresh edges to her sound. We talk about the five unheard tracks as the connective tissue that turns familiar singles into a unified journey. Then we trace the unlikely rocket fuel: Little More Country. What started as a single became a series of reimagined classics—Dancing Queen, Summer of '69—that racked up millions of views, hit viral charts in Sweden and Norway, and even caught ABBA's attention. It's proof that great songs survive translation when you treat them with heart and craft.There's more. A last-minute TV slot sparked Country Heart Can, written and recorded in two days with help from The Wolfe Brothers and producer Rod McCormack, earning a Golden Guitar nomination. Max shares how small-town roots in Coonamble and a deep creative partnership with her husband Jeremy keep the engine steady, even as international invites roll in. We also celebrate the broader wave: a 90s-country-style resurgence where boots, belt buckles, and big choruses feel fresh again—and Australian country is ready to travel.If you love albums that breathe, stories that unfold track by track, and artists who build real community—think VIP breakfasts, acoustic mornings, and fans who become friends—this one's for you.

WA competitors performed well at Australia's biggest rodeo event at Tamworth, in north east New South Wales, over the weekend.

One save, one clinical finish, and one very flamboyant celebration later—Sutton United have finally ended the slump! But was it a lucky escape or a genuine turning point for the U's?In this episode of the Sutton Podcast, Mike Dowling sits down with Dan to recap a vital three points away at Tamworth. We break down the "clash of styles" against a honest Non-League home side and how Jack Sims' incredible early save set the stage for Davide's winner."I think yesterday wasn't great, but job done," says Dan, reflecting on the gritty nature of the performance. We also discuss the impact of new loan signing Callum and whether Robbie Savage was right to say Sutton are in a "false position."Guest Information: Mike is joined by Dan, a long-time supporter who shares his first-hand account of the atmosphere in the away end and his thoughts on the squad's survival chances.If you enjoyed this breakdown, please Like, Subscribe, and hit the Bell icon!

Is iarr Thánaiste do Ghaeltacht an Oileáin Úir é Diarmaid Ó Maolagáin - Diarmaid Ó Maolagáin was the Vice-President of the "New Island" Gaeltacht in Tamworth, Ontario.“A small community is drawn here, to a small patch of land in a tiny Ontario town where Gaelic acts as a lifeline to their history, their culture and to the Emerald Isle itself. This is the Canadian Gaeltacht.”— Susan Krashinsky, Canadian Broadcasting Corporationwww.gaeilge.caD'fhoghlaim sé a chuid Ghaelainne i gCeanada chun ceangal a dhéanamh len' dhúchais - He learned his Irish in Canada to make a link with his heritage. Fuair sé pobal láidir Gaelach agus d'fhoghlaim sé as bheith páirteach le himeachtaí tumoideachas agus sa tighe tabharnaí ag labhairt le cainteoirí líofa - He found a strong Irish community and he learned being part of immersive activities and in the pub speaking with fluent speakers.  Nuair a ghlac sé ról an Tánaiste bhí sé mar chuspóir aige an Ghaelainn a spreagadh - When he took up the role of Vice-President it was a goal of his to spread the language, agus mar sin thar aon rud éile bhí fonn múinteoireachta air - and therefore above all the desire to teach was on him. Thosnaigh sé ag múineadh tríd an Ghaeltacht agus théis tamaill thosnaigh sé ag múineadh ar a shon fhéin - He started to teach through the Gaeltacht agus after a while, for himself.  Anois tá sé ag múineadh agus ag freastal ar scoil chun céim a fháil sa Cheol Ceilteach - Now he is teaching and attending school to get a degree in Celtic Music. Oibríonn sé fós leis an nGaeltacht chun imeachtaí a eagrú - He still works with the Gaeltacht to organise events. Cuireann sé gliondar ina chroí go bhfuil sé in ann tacaíocht a thabhairt do fhoghlaimeoirí agus gur féidir leis cairdeas a dhéanamh tríd an teanga - It puts delight on his heart to be able to give support to learners and make friends through the language, agus tá sé ag tnúth le coinneáil ar aghaidh ag foghlaim agus ag labhairt na Gaelainne - and he is looking forward to carrying on learning and speaking Irish!Connect with Diarmaid here :) @gael_ceanadachGo raibh míle maith agat, a chara! Thanks a million, friend. Thaitin ár gcomhrá go mór liom - I really enjoyed our conversation!

Caroline in Tamworth and Stephanie in Maidstone face the big ten in Ten To The Top.

A riff can change a room. That's the spark Jerry Flowers chases as he walks us through the real stories behind hits for Sam Hunt, Ryan Hurd and Maren Morris, Old Dominion, Morgan Wallen, Keith Urban, and more—plus the hard turns only a long road can deliver. From the first glint of House Party's pre-chorus to the soul-steeped simplicity of Chasing After You, Jerry shows how tempo, tone, and lived experience shape songs that last.We dig into the writing retreat that birthed Kinfolks, the late verse rewrite that made radio, and the rare week-long sprint that got Last Drive Down Main to Morgan Wallen. Jerry opens up about being fired mid-session after decades with Keith Urban, then choosing to finish Water My Flowers—and how Old Dominion's cut turned a gut-punch day into a keeper. He shares the unexpected lineage between old-school country and R&B, why he's often the “energy guy” in the room, and how a great demo can sit for years before the right voice brings it to life.There's touring wisdom here too: from playing on an airport baggage carousel in Tamworth to facing 800,000 people in Philly, the takeaway is clear—be the best hang, use your downtime, and build a second lane with writing or production. Jerry's closing advice to new writers and artists lands like a compass: figure out who you are, defend it, and let time reward the work. If you love songwriter stories, Nashville craft, and the moments where resilience becomes melody, this one hits home.If this conversation moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review. It helps more music fans find these stories and keeps the conversations coming.

Georgie Kelly is back in the goals, Breeze is saving from the spot and United are still keeping pace at the top of the league with leaders Rochdale - it's 11 games unbeaten now, can United maintain this run in the push for promotion back to the EFL?This weekend, it's a break from league action as the Blues travel to the Lancashire seaside to face League One side Blackpool - can they cause another cup upset and potentially earn a tie against a Premier League side in the Third Round?Lots discussed in this episode, including:

United's unbeaten run stretches to ten in all competitions as they grab a win at Boston thanks to Macadam's late strike - it wasn't pretty, but Harvey's brace was enough to secure all three points and keep the pressure on Rochdale at the top.We look back on the hard-fought 2-1 win at Boston United, before previewing the visit of Tamworth to Brunton Park this weekend.Lots discussed in this episode, including:

Mushrooms seem to be all rage these days and I'm not talking about the ones we Beatniks like to highlight. Mushroom coffee, tinctures, powders, blends, capsules, etc seem to be popping up in all of my social media. Soooo WKXL's NH Unscripted reached out to Eric Milligan at the NH Mushroom Company (didn't know that there was a NH mushroom company) to get all the details on why there's so much chatter lately. They have a 5000 sqft warehouse in Tamworth so it seemed like they would know a little about the subject. From their marketing material: “NHMC has been a leading source of specialty mushrooms, with educational programs on fungi enjoyed by many. It has been recognized in WMUR's cook's corner and New Hampshire Chronicle. Additionally, it was featured in the documentary “The Line that Divides Us.The NHMC has experienced a growing interest in mushroom education, providing an array of educational programs year-round. From the Cooking with Mushrooms, to the enchanting Friday Forage, Fungi and Fibers, and Mushroom ID Class. Not to mention the highly sought-after Can You Eat It Class”

Send us a textJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musiciansA drum kit at five, a guitar at eight, and a lifetime of rhythm later—Chloe Marks found her voice where blues grit meets country storytelling. We sit down with Chloe to chart the road from Innisfail to full-time musician, tracing the early marching-band chops and jazz rehearsals that quietly shaped her modern, Americana-leaning sound. Along the way, she breaks down how a university blues-rock project flipped into a professional career, then pivoted into country after a transformative run through Tamworth's stages and community.What stands out is the discipline behind the art. Chloe writes three to four songs a week and has stacked more than 400 originals, a practice-first approach that sharpened her instincts and unlocked songs that waited years to find the right moment. We talk through the unexpected arc of her recent releases—from Carolina's broader canvas to the raw honesty of Skip September—where she keeps the details intact and trusts listeners to meet her in the truth. That courage culminates in Cheaper Than Therapy, a confessional, late-night groove that feels like a happy ending because it embraces the mess and keeps going.The Mayhem's chemistry powers the lift: Ellen Hartwig on bass, Matthew Beagley on guitar, Madison Rossetto on keys and vocals, and JP on drums—bandmates with a decade of shared history who know when to push and when to leave space. Offstage, Chloe's world moves fast too, from years in action sports to a home buzzing with kids discovering their own instruments. We also map out show dates across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and Tamworth, and the plan to take the music wider across Australia next year. If you love country that values craft, vulnerability, and big hooks, this one's for you.Listen now, share it with a friend who needs a song that tells the truth, and subscribe for more artist stories that cut through.

Mitchell Bell is one of several Sydney based jockeys who regularly ply their trade on outside tracks. His manager Shaun Flaherty makes a point of committing Mitch to race meetings no further than three hours from his Windsor home. The hard working jockey is a regular at places like Scone, Muswellbrook, Newcastle, Goulburn, Bathurst, Orange and Mudgee. Mitchell's unwavering reliability has seen him build a strong support base among a wide range of trainers. The jockey says he's learned to handle the tedium of constant travel. Mitchell talks about the two hip replacement surgeries he's been forced to undergo in recent years.  He says he never knew his grandfather Billy Bell who was a successful Sydney jockey in the 60's and 70's. Mitchell pays tribute to his father Steve who had a jockey's build but opted to pursue a career as a professional boxer- a career that led him to an Australian flyweight crown. Mitchell says his riding plans could have been thwarted when he was involved in a freak gymnasium accident at age 13. He looks back on his amazing recovery from serious hand injuries and early riding education at an Ingleburn riding school. The 40 year old talks about his apprenticeship to Tamworth trainer Mark Mason and an inauspicious first ride at Quirindi. He pays tribute to a former leading country jockey who became his tutor in Tamworth track gallops. Mitch hasn't forgotten the thrill of landing his first winner. He remembers the most minor detail about his initial metropolitan win on the historic stretches of Royal Randwick. The jockey acknowledges the first notable horse he got to ride after returning to Sydney as a fully fledged rider. Mitch plays tribute to the talented Artlee who gave him success in the Wild Card and Final of the 2015 Country Championship.  He says Artlee was also the centrepiece of one of his biggest racing disappointments. Bell talks of a successful association with the Waller stable on outside tracks. He recalls a Newcastle win on Youngstar immediately before the filly went to Brisbane to win two important races. He rates another Waller trained horse as one of the best he's ridden. Mitch looks back on a black type Hawkesbury win on Cellarman. He talks about the strong association he's forged with Peter Snowden and a recent Newcastle treble for the stable. Mitchell speaks fondly of a strong association with legendary horseman Ron Quinton. He acknowledges the support of several other prominent stables. Mitch says he was greatly influenced by two special role models in the early part of his career. He doesn't take for granted the luxury he enjoys in being able to maintain a weight of 53kgs. The much travelled jockey says he's sometimes tempted by offers to ride in the city but is reluctant to inconvenience established country and provincial supporters. The 40 year old speaks fondly of wife Hollie and children Harper, Billy and Tayla. This is a nice chat with an ever reliable jockey who prefers to ‘hit the highway” in his quest for winners. 

The three-times Deputy PM, Barnaby Gerard Joyce MP has offered the vaguest resignation in political history over the weekend. Is he quitting politics? Is he quitting the party? Is he quitting Tamworth? Or is he simply reloading the clip and coming back for more!? This week on Betoota Talks, we trace the career of Barnaby Joyce from his days as a bush pub bouncer to his spectacular downfall(s). Who is this man and why can’t he be killed!?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David takes you to White Sulphur Farms just outside Gainesville to meet the Reynolds/Hemmer family and see how they raise Belted Galloway cattle and heritage Tamworth pigs on land first settled in 1802. You hear how the farm's spring gave the community its name and why the family is committed to keeping the core acreage in agriculture for generations to come. Expect history, livestock know-how, and a true farm-to-table ethos rooted on the banks of the Oconee River.

Should estate agents earn commissions or “kickbacks” from solicitors and financial service providers? In this episode, Chris Watkin chats with former agent Anton Plackowski from Tamworth, who shares his candid views on where to draw the line between fair reward and greed. They explore ethics, transparency, and how big corporates may be damaging the industry's reputation. Tune in and decide, fair practice or foul play?

NSW Koori Rugby League Knockout carnival gathers in Tamworth with more than 170 teams in both men's and women's going head-to-head.

The model is booming across the UK, but is it built on shaky ground? I'm joined by Anton Plackowski, a former estate and lettings agent from Tamworth, who explains why relying only on sales can be risky. Drawing on lessons from the 2008 crash, he shows how lettings provide crucial recurring income, and why future proofing your business means looking beyond sales alone.

Part 2 of my WKXL NH Unscripted trip out to Tamworth chatting with the Barnstormer Theatre folks. And on this episode I wanted to chat with Jordan Ahnquist the new Artistic Director for them. I thought it would be great to look back at his first year as the AD and see what he thought about the season. We start with the seasons opening gala (what an event!) and talk through the seasons productions. I pick his brain about the upcoming season, possible plays he's thinking about and what the future might look like for the Barnstormers. Listen here: https://tinyurl.com/yefsdh53

What happens when everyday people step into the woods and come face-to-face with something they can't explain? In this raw and unfiltered episode of the Bigfoot Society podcast, host Jeremiah Byron shares a chilling collection of first-hand encounters pulled from live call-ins across the United States and beyond. From a seven-foot figure peering around a house near Waitt's Mountain outside Boston… to whistled replies in the Texas wilderness… to rocks hurled in Alabama's backcountry… and even a trail camera capture in the forests of British Columbia — each account pushes the boundary between folklore and terrifying reality. You'll hear stories from Malden, Walpole, Tamworth, Bankhead National Forest, Oakmulgee WMA, and the Willamette National Forest of Oregon, including moments where glowing eyes, massive footprints, and even towering twenty-foot figures left witnesses shaken to their core. More than just campfire stories, these testimonies explore the violent, unpredictable, and deeply mysterious side of Sasquatch encounters — and what happens when the unknown decides to show itself.

Sometimes the stars just align correctly and this past weekend WKXL's NH Unscripted had a chance to head out to The Barnstormers Theater in Tamworth got a chance to speak with some of the cast members (Sara Coombs and Lee Hollis Bussie) out there about their upcoming production of "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee". And I'll tell you what, after seeing the show it is hysterical, absolutely hysterical. By the time you hear this interview, they'll have already finished their first weekend but their second weekend is coming up. You really should get out there if you get a chance to see this production. Hey, you know what is a good idea? Go to the matinee on Saturday after you check out the Tamworth farmers market first. It's a beautiful, beautiful setting for day out and then go on over to the matinee and enjoy yourself. You'll laugh like you haven't laughed in years. It's just tremendous.

Send us a textJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musiciansAndrew Swift defies the typical Nashville-to-stardom narrative with his refreshingly authentic journey into country music. The three-time Golden Guitar winner candidly admits he once avoided the "C-word" entirely, having been drafted into a high school pop-punk band simply because he had "a big shed" for rehearsals. This reluctant country convert, who initially played Blink-182 covers despite never having heard them before, found his true voice only after being "dragged" to Tamworth and discovering a musical community that resonated with his natural songwriting style.Swift's new single "See You at the Bottom" showcases his evolution as an artist—fusing alt-country grit with pop-rock swagger while addressing the deeply personal topic of depression. "Depression isn't something you get over. It still lingers," he shares, explaining how the upbeat track aims to capture the supportive energy needed when helping others through dark times. This balance of serious themes with hopeful delivery perfectly captures Andrew's approach to songwriting that began as personal therapy and evolved into his life's passion.The upcoming album "Lucky Stars" marks a new chapter for Andrew, with its title drawn from a heartfelt duet with his partner about their two-month-old daughter Valentine. As he prepares for an extensive Australian tour while balancing first-time fatherhood with a newborn and his role as stepdad to two boys, he embodies the modern working musician finding harmony between creative ambition and family life. Fans who pre-order the album through andrewswift.com.au enter a draw to win the ultimate prize—a private house concert where this tattooed troubadour will bring drinks, his guitar, and perform an intimate show regardless of your location. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the raw storytelling and musical craftsmanship that transformed a reluctant musician into one of Australia's most compelling country voices.What has Andrew Swift been up to lately?  Let's find out!Get out when you can, support local music and I'll see you down the front!!Visit: ThatRadioChick.com.au
