Episode 590: Shannen Llewellyn - The gifted young jockey who taught herself to ride on a slow harness horse

Activities like pony club, showjumping and eventing were not on Shannen Llewelleyn's radar during her teen years on the NSW Central Coast. That's not to say she didn't like horses. In fact the idea of buying herself a suitable steed one day had crossed her mind more than once. A job at a local Woolworths Supermarket allowed Shannen to save diligently, and it wasn't long before she had enough spare cash to buy the horse of her dreams. That horse turned out to be a standardbred who'd never made it to the racetrack. She named him “Shadow” and began the slow, tedious process of teaching herself to ride from scratch. Not surprisingly there were a few anxious moments. Memories of old “Shadow” are beginning to fade these days as she boots home winner after winner on NSW racetracks- 150 winners in fact since March of 2024. Shannen joins us on the podcast to talk about her rapid rise. She begins by talking about her recent transition to metropolitan racing. Shannen talks about the crowded lady jockey's rooms these days in and out of the city.  The 24 year old talks about her early upbringing at Lismore and the family's relocation to the Central Coast eleven years ago. She talks of her scholarly attributes. Shannen says she moved back to Lismore for a while and began her working life with Woolworths.  When the time came to rejoin her mother and sister, she was fortunate to gain a transfer to a Central Coast Woolworths store. At age 19 she purchased her own horse. Shannen later sought a second job with hours to fit in with her Woolworths commitment. That job happened to be with a thoroughbred operation run by a master horseman.The journey had begun. She says a short stint followed with Wyong trainer Kim Waugh which led to an offer from leading Western Districts trainer Brett Robb. Shannen says she rode in almost 40 barrier trials before applying for a licence to ride in races. The process seemed to take forever. She looks back on her very first race ride at Dubbo, and admits she got a scare when the horse “bucked” out of the gates. The young jockey was thrilled to win at her 5th race ride on Dubbo favourite Elson Boy from the Dar Lunn stable. Shannen couldn't believe her luck when she rode another winner just two days later. She rode for just four months of her first season in the saddle, and couldn't believe the winning run that came her way. Shannen talks about the offer she received from trainer Jane Clement which saw her move to Bendemeer near Tamworth. She loved the experience. She talks of a Parkes Cup win last year on veteran galloper Knife's Edge.  Shannen talks of her move to the Nathan Doyle stable at Newcastle a year ago. She acknowledges the horses to give her seven metropolitan wins so far. The jockey says her weight is giving her no problems at this stage of her career. Shannen makes special mention of her favourite horse to this point in time.  She talks of devoted mum Danielle and older sister Lakisha. Shannen admits to being overwhelmed by the good fortune to come her way in such a short time.

Episode 588: Brett Dodson - Coffs Harbour trainer whose love of racing was sparked by radio and TV broadcasts and famous 1980's magazines.

Few trainers have had a busier week than Brett Dodson. He left Coffs Harbour on Thursday July 9th with his bonny mare Petticoat who was to start in a BM78 at Randwick two days later. It was a case of so near but yet so far as Petticoat went down by a whisker to Zouripper.  As soon as Petticoat was ready to travel Brett embarked on the arduous journey back to Coffs.  He had good reason to feel a little the worse for wear by the time he arrived at the Grafton track on Sunday with Miss Midas Touch for the 1400m maiden. Despite copping a hefty bump at the 300m, the mare grabbed the lead for a few strides before finishing third to You Are Mind and Occupation. No wins, but good runs by both Petticoat and Miss Midas Touch.  Brett Dodson rarely has more than a dozen horses in work and is prepared to take them wherever they have the best chance of earning prize money. Tamworth born Dodson became “hooked” on racing in his early teens and resolved from the outset to seek a future in the industry. He recorded 13 wins and 30 placings as a professional jockey before increasing weight halted his progress. He switched immediately to the picnic circuit where he enjoyed success for two full seasons. Brett had a trainer's licence by age 18 and has put it to good use over more than three decades. He begins by talking about the long road trip to Sydney with Petticoat and the reliable mare's gutsy performance in Saturday's Keiran Moore BM78 at Randwick. The trainer says he had to shrug off fatigue to saddle Miss Midas Touch at Grafton twenty four hours later.  Brett outlines the backstory of his promising five year old My Mum's Toyboy. He profiles the gelding's pedigree and talks of the success he's enjoyed with others out of the same mare. He says there wasn't a trace of racing in his family background. Brett confirms his passion for racing was initially generated by TV and radio coverage. He later became a subscriber to two famous monthly magazines. He talks of a friendship with a former prominent Sydney jockey who gifted him one of his old saddles.  Brett says it all started when he visited local trainer Terry Wicks to seek advice on how best to gain an apprenticeship. He was in for a very pleasant surprise. He clearly remembers his first race ride and his first trip to the winner's circle.  Brett says soaring weight quickly terminated any suggestion of a long term career as a professional jockey. He looks back on two happy seasons as an  amateur rider. The Coffs Harbour horseman remembers his first training win with  a horse purchased cheaply from another stable. He looks back on an invaluable learning experience with talented trainer Tim Martin. Brett talks about his stint as private trainer for owner/breeder Andrew Pratten who had his horses based at Inverell. He later encouraged Andrew to consider moving his horses to the balmier climate at Coffs Harbour. He pays tribute to the two horses who provided him with black type success. The trainer acknowledges a few talented horses to help him along the way and gives a shoutout to a promising rising three year old he has in his care. Brett shares the story of the amazing business deal he was able to strike with Hong Kong agents just on two years ago.  He talks of his ongoing friendship with prominent Brisbane jockey Kyle Wilson Taylor. This is a nice chat with a bush trainer who hasn't regretted a single day spent in the racing industry.

Perimenopause can feel like your body has changed overnight, but what if the real problem is that the health system around you is stretched thin and your nearest “next step” is hours away? We sit down with Tamworth naturopath Jane Sharpham to talk about women's health in rural Australia, where isolation, long travel times, and limited access to gynaecologists and integrative doctors can turn manageable symptoms into months of stress, poor sleep, and feeling dismissed.We unpack what Jane sees daily in clinic: anxiety and depression that women feel they “shouldn't” talk about, hot flushes and heavy bleeding, and the extra layer of advocacy required when scans, referrals, or hormone support are hard to access. Jane shares how she approaches clinical case taking to tease apart overlapping drivers like perimenopause, burnout, thyroid issues, and metabolic dysfunction, while still starting with what the patient needs most right now. You'll also hear how she builds collaborative relationships with local GPs, and how testing choices can be shaped by cost and geography.Food and environment matter too. We explore rural nutrition realities, from limited fresh seafood and common omega-3 deficiency to the “four Maccas, two KFCs, zero salad bars” problem, plus rural exposures like farm sprays, mould in older homes, and water quality concerns. Jane outlines practical foundations and tools she uses for sleep, mood, oestrogen clearance, and cardiometabolic risk, including magnesium, iodine screening, and evidence-informed options like berberine and OEA when appropriate. She also introduces her Rural Clinic Initiative, a five-day intensive designed to bridge the gap between study and confident clinical practice in regional settings.If you care about perimenopause support, rural health care, naturopathy, and realistic strategies that work outside major cities, this conversation will land.

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 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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

New Hampshire Unscripted talks with the performance arts movers and shakers

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.
