Simon Price hasn't ridden in a race for five years but still spends plenty of time in the saddle. He's at Morphettville trackwork three mornings a week, and has a regular presence at the barrier trials and jumpouts. With sons Will and Ben both forging successful riding careers in Adelaide, Price Snr is content to take a back seat these days. Simon's CV credits him with close to 2000 winners including a host of black type features. At the height of his career he had regular support from many leading stables and a strong public following. In response to several requests for an interview with the talented horseman I'm pleased to say job's done! Simon joins us on this week's podcast to look back on his very rewarding career.  He talks about his Morphettville trackwork involvement three times a week for some discerning trainers. Simon says he also works a “day job” at a prominent landscaping business owned by an old friend. He looks back on a snap decision in 2020 to relocate to NSW at the request of former South Australian horseman Sam Kavanagh. Simon recalls going all the way to Mudgee to ride his first winner for Kavanagh. The veteran says a Tamworth success on More Sundays for Kavanagh was his last winning ride. Simon pays tribute to Sam Kavanagh who died after a short illness 18 months ago. He looks back on childhood days in Adelaide and pays tribute to his parents. Simon recalls the unlikely circumstances that would trigger his introduction to horses. He talks of early tuition from George Davison and a subsequent apprenticeship to Peter Hayes at Oakbank.  Simon says Peter Hayes was a thoughtful boss who encouraged him to ride for other trainers. He clearly remembers his first race ride at Cheltenham and his first win at a now defunct racecourse close to the Victorian border. The fifty five year old remembers the support he received from some prominent Adelaide trainers. He looks back on a “loan-out” to Cranbourne trainer Colin Alderson. During this time Peter Hayes sent a horse to Melbourne to run in the inaugural C.S Hayes Stakes at Moonee Valley. Young Simon gained the ride and it was a dream result. We randomly reminisce with Price about some of his favourite horses beginning with the Russell Cameron trained Shavano Miss- an unpleasant mare with great ability. Simon looks back on a surprise phone call from the Waterhouse stable and the offer of a Doncaster ride. He thought someone was “pulling his leg.”  He looks back on a brief association with the Leon Corstens trained Cherontessa which led to a win in the Gr 1 South Australian Oaks. Simon couldn't believe his luck when history repeated itself the following year. WA owner Bob Peters sent Miss Margaret to Peter Hayes for a three race campaign. Simon got the ride and won the Gr 3 Auraria, ran second in the Australasian Oaks before winning the Gr 1 South Australian Oaks.  The jockey enjoyed several successful stints in Singapore including one twelve month stay. He was delighted to win the 1998 Gr 1 Singapore Gold Cup on the Malcolm Thwaites trained Three Crowns. It was the last Cup to be staged at the Bukit Timah track. Six weeks later Simon rode Three Crowns in the Melbourne Cup, and was deeply saddened when the genuine gelding broke down at the top of the straight. Simon had little hesitation in declaring Fields Of Omagh to be the best horse he rode in a race. The jockey was on board for three of the gelding's South Australian wins. One of those wins was at Cheltenham the other two at Victoria Park. Both tracks have subsequently been closed. Price had a big opinion of the brilliant but unsound mare La Baraka. He won two Group 3 races on the daughter of Euclase and hasn't forgotten her glaring conformation faults. Most Adelaide jockeys greatly value wins in the Goodwood Hcp and the Adelaide Cup. He regrets not being able to win either. He ran second in both races to horses ridden by the same top Victorian jockey. Simon says a busy work routine has helped him deal with a difficult time since the passing of his wife Belinda. He pays tribute to sons Will and Ben and daughter Abby who has in turn given him two adored grandsons. The elder Price reviews the careers so far of sons Will and Ben. Both young jockeys are currently settled in Adelaide where they're getting good support from prominent stables.  I remember the days in the broadcast box when I'd watch Adelaide races in between Sydney events. Simon Price won a huge number of those races. Great to welcome him as a podcast guest.   

It's day two of auditions at the New Zealand Gold Guitar Awards in Gore. Jenny Mitchell won the senior competition in 2017. She's back this year as both a showcase performer and volunteer helping out on stage - because that's just what you do! A highlight of the Tussock Country festival, Gold Guitars launched her country music career - one that has taken her to Tamworth and Nashville. Now based in Melbourne, Jenny was mentored by Dame Jools Topp who sadly passed away earlier this week. Jenny talks to Susie about her audition picks so far and how Jools shaped her as both a musician and a person.

This week on the Bourbon Bytes podcast, we're diving into new whiskey releases from Blue Run, Little Book, Very Old St. Nick, 15 Stars, and one of the strangest TTB labels I've seen in a while: a goat milk flavored whiskey from Tamworth. On the gaming side, Microsoft is making headlines with 8,000-year Xbox bans for Forza Horizon 6 pirates, while Xbox Game Pass is adding a new Discord Nitro perk. Then it's time for a Byte-Sized Review of King of Kentucky 16 Year Bourbon. This 2024 release from Brown-Forman is a 16-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 132 proof, with only about 5,100 bottles released. It shares the same mash bill as Old Forester 1924, but at six years older and full barrel strength, does it live up to the King of Kentucky name? Expect deep oak, antique wood, cedar chest, dark roasted nuts, molasses, tannic richness, and a long finish.

In this candid episode, country music star Morgan Evans sits down to discuss the deeply personal journey behind his latest record. Reconnecting with his Australian roots in Newcastle, Evans opens up about the "perspective snap" that helped him navigate a season of intense public scrutiny and emotional upheaval. The conversation dives into the complexities of mental health, where Evans shares his strategies for "catching the spiral" before it takes over—from physical activity to the therapeutic nature of songwriting. He also reflects on: Career Evolution: Winning the Road to Tamworth in 2007 and the 20-year journey that followed. Living Authentically: The challenge of separating a personal life from an international music career and the advice he would give his 21-year-old self. Finding Forgiveness: The story behind his new music, including writing "Forgiving You for Me" in just 20 minutes. Jmo and Morgan compare notes on their personal mental health journeys. This conversation is a raw, insightful look at the man behind the music.

A 20-year-old woman returns to Tamworth after a night out in Birmingham watching one of her favourite artists perform. She's laughing with friends, making plans for the next day, and looking ahead to a job interview that could bring her dream of working with children one step closer. It should have been an ordinary journey home. Instead, by the following evening, her family are searching streets and parkland with torches before making a discovery that would devastate an entire community.Keeley Bunker had trusted the man walking beside her. Wesley Streete was no stranger lurking in the dark. He was someone she had known since infant school, a familiar face from childhood, someone she believed would get her home safely. But detectives would soon uncover a trail of lies, changing stories, CCTV footage, phone data and forensic evidence that painted a far more sinister picture of what happened in the early hours of September 19, 2019.In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we examine the murder of Keeley Bunker and the shocking betrayal at the heart of the case. From the Aitch concert and night out in Birmingham, to the frantic missing person search in Tamworth, the discovery of Keeley's body in Wigginton Park, and the police investigation that followed, this is a deeply distressing case of violence against women, misplaced trust, and a young life stolen far too soon.We also explore the trial at Stafford Crown Court, where jurors heard evidence of repeated lies, multiple changing accounts, and further sexual offences against other women. We break down the prosecution case, the digital evidence that tracked Streete's movements, the verdicts, and the life sentence handed down in August 2020. This is a heartbreaking true crime story about trust exploited, justice for Keeley Bunker, and the lasting pain left behind when someone never makes it home.Exclusive content:Patreon - Ad Free, Early Access, Exclusive EpisodesFollow the show:British Murders with Stuart BluesDisclaimer:The case discussed in this podcast episode is real and represents the worst day in many people's lives.

The spirits industry is at a crossroads. As consumer preferences shift toward intentional drinking and premiumization, the old playbook for craft distilleries is being rewritten. In this episode of The Bourbon Lens, we dive into the evolving market dynamics of 2026 and why the most successful brands are ditching national expansion to own their home state first.We break down the critical importance of product differentiation and why innovation is no longer optional—it's the only way to survive a crowded shelf. Whether you are a distillery founder looking to build a loyal local following or a bourbon enthusiast curious about the "why" behind your favorite pours, this discussion offers a deep look into the creativity driving the modern whiskey movement.Key Discussion Points:The 2026 Shift: How market dynamics are changing for craft producers.Hyper-Local Branding: Why winning your backyard is the key to sustainable growth.Innovation vs. Gimmick: Using creativity to stand out in a sea of brown spirits.Consumer Psychology: What the modern whiskey drinker is actually looking for in a bottle.

Jack is joined by James Maw from The Athletic to try and make sense of another incredibly turbulent week at Tottenham Hotspur. The pair kick things off by exploring Roberto De Zerbi's comments post Sunderland. We ask whether the famously intense tactician taking the squad for a lavish dinner and claiming they need a 'father' rather than a coach could be the Hail Mary we need right now. The conversation then turns to the news that Cristian Romero will miss the remainder of the season. Jack and James reflect on what could very well be the Argentine's final game in a Spurs shirt, asking if the mainstream media narrative has unfairly influenced how sections of our own fanbase view our first cup-winning captain in 17 years. Frustrations then shift towards the boardroom, as we vent about the deeply tone-deaf Tottenham executives posting personal corporate achievements on LinkedIn while the club's top-flight status hangs by a thread. We question whether this perfectly illustrates the absolute disconnect between the suits and the terrifying reality on the pitch. Looking ahead to a monumental clash against Brighton, the lads discuss whether De Zerbi can actually pull off a desperate result against his former, highly in-form side. Finally, James dives into a massive selection of your listener questions. We explore the potential revisionist history surrounding Daniel Levy, debate whether we would actually dominate the Championship given our previous cup struggles against Tamworth, and question Tottenham's lack of progressive passers.

With another edition of the historic Sydney Cup coming up on April 11th, it seems an appropriate time to catch up with a man who won it twice as a jockey in 1959 and 1961. Bernie Howlett's riding career lasted only seven or eight years but was followed by a long innings as a successful trainer. In more recent times Bernie has earned recognition as a very astute breeder of horses. In fact he's one of a chosen few to have ridden, trained and bred Gr 1 winners. He's now a healthy eighty eight year old, living in Canberra and content to reflect  on his very rewarding life in racing. Bernie does us the honour of joining this week's podcast to take us on a trip down memory lane.  He brings us up to date on plans for his future in racing. Bernie goes right back to childhood days in Tamworth and many trips to local race meetings with his dad Jack.  He acknowledges the deeds of older brother Arthur, himself a talented jockey and trainer. Bernie recalls the early tuition he received from legendary country trainer Arthur Gore and his apprenticeship to Eric Flett at Manilla. The veteran recalls his first ride in a race at Quirindi and his first win at Barraba. With ten bush winners under his belt Bernie made the decision to seek an apprenticeship in Sydney and literally knocked on the doors of several Randwick trainers. Finally a trainer called Frank McGrath agreed to sign him up.  Howlett reflects on his first city win on a hulking two year old owned by an AJC Committee member. He won another one on the same horse a few days later. He looks back on the thrill of being selected Dux of the AJC Apprentices School in the 1957/58 season.  Bernie says his golden run was halted by a nasty fall at Warwick Farm. Head injuries kept him out of the saddle for several months. He looks back on an association with dour stayer On Line which would lead him to a Sydney Cup win and a ride in the Melbourne Cup the following year. Bernie was to repeat his Sydney Cup win just two years later. This time he relegated an Australian turf idol into second place. He talks of the “return bout” with Tulloch in the Brisbane Cup less than three months later. This was to be the champion's swan song. Bernie remembers the support of several trainers who helped him along the way during his time in Sydney. The former jockey and trainer clearly recalls a second placing in the Caulfield Cup and the suspension that cost him the ride on the same horse in the Melbourne Cup. He takes us back to 1964 and his low key start as a trainer. Bernie reflects on a fruitful decade training out of Kembla Grange during which time his only Gr 1 winner came along. He makes mention of some other smart horses he got to train.  The veteran pays tribute to several talented young riders to spend time under his tutelage. He talks of his keen interest in the breeding of thoroughbreds and the colt destined to give him Gr 1 success in another phase of his career. Bernie is justifiably proud of his contribution to the Australian population- 6 daughters, 1 son and 14 grandchildren. Great to catch up with a man who achieved the rare distinction of riding, training and breeding Gr 1 winners.

Send a textJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musiciansEleven Golden Guitars don't make you bulletproof, and Beccy Cole doesn't pretend they do. We sit down for a funny, blunt, and surprisingly tender chat about her new album Through The Haze and the seven-year stretch that shaped it: heartbreak, divorce, grief, bad luck in love, and the slow work of finding your feet again. If you've ever used humor to get through a rough season, Beccy's stories will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way. We rewind to the beginning, from singing Dolly Parton songs with her Mum to cutting her teeth in Mum's band, then jumping into the real world of Australian country music. Beccy shares what she learned touring with Slim Dusty, including the kind of fan respect that builds a long career, plus the character-building Tamworth busking days with Kasey Chambers and the full-circle moment of recording in Kasey's studio years later. Along the way, we talk family gigs, three generations of music, and how songs can keep the people you love close, even after they're gone. Then we get into the new record itself: why it reads like a diary, why it's bigger than a breakup album, and why opening with the single “Shit Magnet” is a deliberate statement about survival and self-awareness. We also cover Beccy Cole tour dates, where to buy tickets, and her first-ever vinyl release. If you care about Australian country music, songwriting craft, resilience, and live shows that feel human, hit play now, then subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review telling us your favorite Beccy Cole lyric.What has Beccy Cole 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

A couple of contrasting performances for United in the space of a few days - the win at Aldershot in midweek a great example of how to defend a half-time 2-0 lead, the draw with Southend at the weekend... less so.All-in all, the Blues remain secure in third place for now and will be looking to continue that this weekend at Tamworth. Will the artificial surface play a part? Has the ground improved since we went there over 20 years ago? And more importantly, is "tonk" an actual word?We look back on the 2-2 draw with the Shrimpers and the 2-0 win at the Shots, before previewing this weekend's trip to the Midlands to face the Lambs.Lots discussed in this episode, including:

Pavel Cenkl is a climate writer, ultrarunner, and Dean of Academics at Prescott College who has run hundreds of miles across Iceland, Scandinavia, and the Arctic through his project Climate Run. He grew up in the White Mountains, worked the AMC huts, started one of the first collegiate trail running teams in the U.S., and built a master's program combining movement, environmental philosophy, and ecology.  In this conversation, Zoë and Brendan talk with Pavel about what happens when you push yourself to the edge of exhaustion in landscapes that are literally shifting beneath your feet — disappearing glaciers, the vulnerability of being utterly alone in midnight sun, why "resilience over resistance" is a better framework for running and life, and the moment he screamed so loud on day three of his Iceland crossing that he scared a goose into flight and accidentally had a paradigm shift.

Three NSW hospitals (Tamworth, Wollongong and Royal Prince Alfred) have pigeon infestations with bird poo dripping from ceiling vents and patients catching bird lice that causes red bumps, itching, and disturbed sleep. We asked Sydney what they've caught and Kelly from Miranda admitted she got COVID from licking a window while on school duty "just being silly," while Charlie from Little Bay came back from Papua New Guinea, ate spaghetti bolognese, sat on the toilet and pulled out a 15cm live hookworm that doctors casually said "it's just a hookworm, take some chocolate."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.

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!

Well when I saw my wife breaking out the seed packets and grow lights I knew it was time to get in touch with my favorite permaculture folks Ethan & Amy Sagar from Again & Again Farmstead in Tamworth. Today we talked about seed starting, seed blocks, fertilizers, square foot gardening, root cellars, manure and a heckuva lot more.

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.

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”

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.

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.

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.
