For years, Payson has maintained that Nichole is the most talented athlete in their household, but it wasn't until this winter that she finally decided to add some structure to her riding and shoot for some concrete goals. It all came about during an unusual lull in her schedule shortly after she and Payson finished his crossing project in New Zealand and got married in Tasmania, and just after she completed her capstone project for her Master's Degree in Public Health from Johns Hopkins. Payson and Nichole sat down to talk about how her tentative request for a training plan turned into an increasingly busy racing schedule. She started out by jumping into the four-day Sahara Gravel stage race in Morocco in February before winning the Central Missouri Circuit, a 340-mile ultra race, earlier this month. This weekend, she'll be lining up for the Unbound 100 in preparation for the Vapor Trail, a high-country bikepacking race later this year. Nichole talks about surprising herself in Morocco by discovering a thrill for racing, dealing with the heat, mental exhaustion, and fueling headaches during the overnight Central Missouri Circuit, and what it's been like having Payson as a coach. They also catch up on her studies at Johns Hopkins and how they relate to her work at the biopsy clinic in Uganda. For a more in-depth conversation about her work in pathology, listen to our episode from last year: Nichole Baker on her eighth year in Uganda for Path of LogicInstagram: @withpacepodYouTube: Payson McElveen

What's a forest really worth? Or a pollinator, or a reef? In this final episode of The Cost of Climate Change, we travel to Tasmania's underwater forests to uncover the hidden costs of nature loss and what the economy has been ignoring - from vanishing carbon sinks to collapsing food systems. But there's another side to this story: what we can save by putting nature first.

In 2022, Michelle Yeoh became the first Asian actress to win the Academy Award for Best Actress. But she wasn't the first actress of Asian origin to be nominated. In 1935, Merle Oberon was nominated for Best Actress for the role of Kitty Vane in The Dark Angel, only her second film in the U.S. film industry. But no one knew Oberon was Asian. Her public biography said she was born to white parents in Tasmania, eventually moving to India and, from there, to the UK. But Merle Oberon, in truth, was of Anglo-Indian origin, born in Bombay. She'd hidden her heritage to get around U.S. censorship and immigration laws—a secret she took to her grave, even if many in the industry suspected the truth. Mayukh Sen tackles Oberon's life in Love, Queenie: Merle Oberon, Hollywood's First South Asian Star (W.W. Norton: 2025). Mayukh Sen is the James Beard Award-winning author of Taste Makers: Seven Immigrant Women Who Revolutionized Food in America (W.W. Norton: 2021).

Kia ora e te whānau. This week, Ali Pottinger speaks with Hanny Allston for a special addition to the Aidstation Podcast. Hanny is a returning champion to DCR  who was with us for episode 121, all the way back in December 2020. Back then we said Hanny is based in Tasmania and is a high performance coach, owner of Find Your Feet Outdoors, former junior and senior world champion orienteer - elite trail runner and now the author of Finding My Feet, Hanny's memoir which delves into a lot of topics including body image, mental health, and bullying, which we don't often talk about in the trail running space, but we definitely should. This conversation focuses on the multitude of identities we have in our lives, and how we can be pigeon-holed into specific ones, and they, in turn, can define what people perceive of us, but not the whole us.  Heads up. This conversation deals with topics around perinatal mental health. Ali and Hanny are powerful women, and this is a worthwhile listen for anyone with a running Mum in their lives, or indeed, any Mum in their lives. That means most of us.

Nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio nos habla de libros con los tonos, sabores y olores del vino en una cata literaria única en Calahorra (La Rioja). Hay novelas, como los vinos, gran reserva, reserva, crianza o joven. También retronasales,  con bouquet especiado, aromas florales o con cuerpo.  Ha sido una cata de 12 libros que paso a enumerar:GRANDES RESERVAS. 1.- 'La verdad sobre el caso savolta" de Eduardo Mendoza (Seix Barral) .Este libro tiene un color turbio, se aprecian partículas en suspensión, que se van a ir posando según avance la novela. Olfativamente, el aroma es amplio, complejo, con muchos matices.El Bouquet, que son los aromas complejos y desarrollados con la edad, es especiado. Y el gusto es muy intenso en nariz y en paladar, alegre, fresco, y a veces agresivo. 2.-'Cuentos y prosas breves' de Katerine Mansfield (Páginas de Espuma) Este libro en cambio tiene un color brillante, luminoso. Olfativamente, el aroma es floral, con matices del sur, muy del sur, porque la autora era Neozelandesa. Y el Bouquet también es especiado, pero con especias raras, como la pimienta de Tasmania o la baya de Kakadu.Y el gusto es aterciopelado, que es lo contrario, en vino, de suave y agradable. Austero a veces, pero en general con cuerpo.3.-'Justine' de Lawrence Durrell (Edhasa)“Justine”, a la vista es un libro color teja, como son los vinos tintos maduros. Es un libro carnoso, o sea con cuerpo y de sabores ricos. Bueno de hecho tiene muchos cuerpos y en muchas escenas están desnudos. Tiene un sabor mineral porque tiene notas de piedra, tiza, salinidad. Sobre todo sabe a polvo, al polvo de Alejandría que lo empapa todo y todo lo tiñe.Cuando lo pruebas es afrutado pero intenso, divertido, profundo, alegre y sin embargo a ratos es astringente, como es el vino cuando los taninos hacen que sientas sequedad tras el sorbo.Es un libro bellísimo hasta el dolor. Un libro con el que te puedes emborrachar.RESERVAS.4.-'Olvidado rey Gudú' de Ana María matute (Destino) Olfativamente, es expresivo, o sea que muestra claramente sus características. Es un vino carnoso y avanzado, o sea que es más maduro de lo que se esperaba. Porque este libro se ha leído como literatura fantástica y hasta juvenil y tiene mucho más. Y el gusto es aterciopelado, que es lo contrario, en vino, de suave y agradable. Austero, que en vino quiere decir que está lleno de sabores pero es amargo y ácido a la vez.5.-Tres novelas analógicas' de Sergi Pámies (Anagrama) Estas tres novelas son, a la vista, de color púrpura, que en vino quiere decir que tiene tonos azulados, que el caso de Sergi Pàmies vira a azulgrana, claro (el Barça le otorgó el premio Vázquez Montalbán de Periodismo Deportivo).   Olfativamente, es volátil, que quiere decir que tiene una ácidez que se percibe en nariz, pero es que claro, el humor de Pàmies es así, muy ácido.  Y el gusto es vivaz, o sea, ligeramente ácido pero agradable, tierno, inteligente, y fresco, o sea positivo en jóvenes.6.-'De cuerpo presente' de Bob Pop (La Uña Rota). Este poemario es, a la vista, delicado, múltiple, esencial. Si lo hueles tiene matices de acerbo, o sea áspero, pero no, lo que pasa es que es cerrado, que quiere decir que no expresa los aromas a la primera, que hay que dejarlo respirar. Su sabor es nervioso y noble, pero enseguida estalla en sabor a miel, madera y a veces algo salado, será por las lágrimas, de un lado u otro del papel. Termina siendo sedoso y hasta terroso.CRIANZAS7.-'Poeta chileno' de Alejandro Zambra (Anagrama)  “Poeta chileno” engaña a la vista. Parece claro, pero termina siendo opaco. Parece pajizo, esos vinos de colores muy claros, pero según avanza la novela va pasando a ser más turbio, hasta que terminamos viendo todas las partículas en suspensión.  Si lo hueles tiene notas frutales, sobre todo de Chile, cerezas, arándanos, uvas y kiwis. También huele de forma penetrante, intenso, y es que es entero, que en una cata quiere decir que

Matt Payne is back on the pod fresh from his Sunday Supercars victory in Tasmania. The Penrite racer talks about that epic finish (he won by 0.05) and whether he could have kept Broc Feeney behind him for much longer? Plus how much it means to some of the former 888 team members in the Grove squad! We also look ahead to the next couple of rounds in Perth and Darwin - what he thinks of their chances there? Then TA2 Category Manager ‘Matty Mack’ (MacKelden) joins us with the ink still drying on this week’s deal to acquire Trans Am. Why it’s important to still have some separation between the two despite the awesome combined field recently at Bathurst. How they stepped in to help fill a void on the support bill at Waneroo and the nice balance they seem to have struck between rowing their own boat and working alongside Supercars at some marquee events. It’s a Matt-a-thon on this edition of the Garage shortcast.

The trade in shark liver oil is an invisible threat to sharks. Not only is there limited research on the topic, but liver oil is notoriously difficult to track and trace. Enter Dr Madeline Green, molecular fisheries ecologist and Principle Investigator of the Forensic Fisheries Lab at the University of Tasmania. Madi is working to apply protocols from the tracing of olive oil to extract DNA from shark liver oil samples, in order to identify species and help monitor this complex trade. In this episode, we learn all about Madi's research, and how the trade in liver oil is presenting a significant threat to deep-water sharks.  You can follow Madi on Instagram: @madigreenmarine and find more information about her research here: https://discover.utas.edu.au/Madeline.Green https://saveourseas.com/project-leader/madeline-green/ https://saveourseas.com/project/using-dna-to-identify-the-sharks-in-squalene-products/ https://saveourseas.com/project/shark-share-global/ Shownotes: www.saveourseas.com/worldofsharks/podcast Find out more about the Save Our Seas Foundation (SOSF) by following @saveourseasfoundation (Instagram and TikTok), @SaveOurSeas (X/Twitter) and @saveourseas.bsky.social (BlueSky)

Rural news and events from Tasmania and the nation.

Alex Hutchinson knows all about the thrill of discovery, having ventured deep into the wilderness of far-flung places like Tasmania. In his new book, The Explorer's Gene, the journalist argues that we're hardwired with that desire to embrace uncertainty and the unknown — and looks at what happens if we stop. 

In this episode of Heartbeat of Humanity, MHPSS Adviser Arz Stephan talks to Brett McDermott about mental health, natural hazards and children. Brett is an Australian child and adolescent psychiatrist. He is head of Tasmania's Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service and professor at the University of Tasmania. Brett has led several post-disaster programs in Australia to better support young people experiencing the trauma of floods, cyclones, bushfires and storms. His approach has influenced post-disaster interventions globally.Brett is currently a visiting scholar at the MHPSS hub. This episode of Heartbeat of Humanity is the first in a four-episode mini-series about the mental health of children and young adults in the contexts of emergencies or conflict.

La Tasmania è una delle mete turistiche preferite dagli australiani, ma le sue bellissime montagne non devono essere prese sottogamba. Sono tanti infatti gli escursionisti che sono partiti ma non hanno fatto ritorno.

This week on The Auto Action RevLimiter, we're turning up the heat from the frozen south, which actually wasn't that frozen! Andrew Clarke was trackside in Tasmania, and he's got all the stories — from Matt Payne winning with his head rather than his right foot, to Broc Feeney proving he's got both speed and silverware, even if the clean sweep slipped through his fingers.We unpack the brains-beat-brawn strategy play that handed Payne the win, why Feeney still walks away on top of the championship, and how DJR's night in the steward's office turned into a proper disqualification debacle.We also dive into Brad Jones' big Toyota switch — yes, it's real — and which Supercars stars are packing their passports for NASCAR's Chicago Street Race. Then, buckle up as we explore the $350 million facelift coming to Albert Park's pit lane, and why it's not just about F1 but the future of motorsport in Victoria.It's all here. All killer, no filler.

Nancy Grunwaldt was a German tourist visiting Tasmania, Australia in March 1993 when she, and her red rental bike, seemingly vanished into thin air. After an inquest into her disappearance, it was presumed she was killed either due to foul play or as the result of a tragic accident, but she has never been found and her case remains unsolved. Two years later, in October 1995, Italian tourist Victoria Cafasso was her cousin in Tasmania when she was found stabbed to death on a beach in Beaumaris. Despite happening in broad daylight, her murder remains unsolved to this day. It is not likely that these cases are connected, but both remain unsolved and there are $500,000 rewards for information leading to convictions in both cases.  No tip is too small. Anyone with any information about Victoria Cafasso or Nancy Grunwaldt can contact Tasmania Police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers Tasmania at crimestopperstas.com.au or on 1800 333 000.

Each winter southern Australia hosts the return of Southern Right Whales from Antarctica, who come to warmer waters to calve. These mysterious whales were hunted almost to extinction during commercial whaling, but unlike other whales, their recovery has been much slower. New research suggests it may even have stalled.To find out why, and what that means for the oceans, we speak to researcher Anne Grundlehner at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania. Her answers offer a fascinating insight into the world of these whales.Image: Southern Right Whale mother and calf. robdownunder/Flickr

QFF: Quick Fire Friday – Your 20-Minute Growth Powerhouse! Welcome to Quick Fire Friday, the Grow A Small Business podcast series that is designed to deliver simple, focused and actionable insights and key takeaways in less than 20 minutes a week. Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends! In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Amanda Jones interviews Michael Preece, the Connector in Chief at Business Networking Advantage Australia. Michael shares how he built a thriving statewide network of six groups across Tasmania over the past 11 years. Starting as a photographer, he leveraged his passion for genuine relationships into a powerful business referral system. Michael offers practical tips on networking, building trust, and the importance of making one meaningful new connection each week. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Focus on Relationships Over Sales: Networking is not about pitching—it's about building genuine, value-driven relationships that lead to long-term business opportunities. Set Realistic Networking Goals: Don't aim to meet everyone in the room. Instead, target 3–4 meaningful conversations at each event to build quality connections. Consistently Grow Your Network: Make it a weekly habit to meet at least one new person in business. Over time, this compounds into powerful referral and support networks. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Never Underestimate Who People Know: A contact may not become a client—but they might introduce you to someone who is. Treat every connection as a gateway to broader networks. Use Simple Tools Effectively: A well-organized contact system (like Outlook synced to your phone) can act as a lightweight CRM to manage relationships and follow-ups. Track and Show the Value of Networking: Leverage tools or systems that give transparency into referrals and business growth so you can clearly measure the ROI of your networking efforts. One action small business owners can take: According to Michael Preece, one action a small business owner should take is to meet one new business contact each week with the genuine intent to build a relationship—because you never know who they know or where that connection might lead.

Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures!Piastri and Palou just keep winning in F1 and IndyCar. Dominant performances from the two of them in their respective races. Verstappen was able to put on a defensive show until the clock struck midnight as he was out of tires and then to make matters worse a Virtual Safety Car is deployed which put him back to 4th. Although Palou ran away at Barber, the rest of the field had an exciting race that was interesting to watch from a strategic point of view. When to pit, how quick could guys get their tires warmed up, who could defend with cold tires the best? It had some great lunges and passes that played into high risk, high reward scenarios.Logano takes the win in NASCAR at Texas. Coming up this weekend: NASCAR is at Kansas, IndyCar is racing at Barber, WEC at Spa, IMSA at Laguna Seca, MotoGP at Le Mans, and Supercars at Tasmania.

There is nothing that compares to making that decision to leave everything you know behind. To choose to make a home in a foreign place. And while you might have some pre-conceived ideas … you might even have done your research…none of it will quite compare to the experience itself. In our story this week, Michael’s journey is more than about moving from place to place, but also a journey through different stages of his life. 177 Nations of Tasmania: Micheal from Benin Since arriving in Tasmania about a year ago, Michael has got somewhat accustomed to people questioning whether Benin is a real country - an indication of how little known his homeland is in Australia. Benin is a small country in West Africa, squeezed between the much larger Nigeria and Togo. It was formerly part of a much larger Kingdom of Dahomey and was also one of the centres of the Atlantic slave trade. A legacy of this is seen in places like Haiti, Cuba, Brazil and New Orleans, where Voodoo is still practised, a belief system originating in Benin. In western culture this has become associated with pushing pins into dolls, but in Benin it is still a very much accepted bona fide religion. Michael's story is remarkable other ways though. From a tough time as a child at a boarding school in Nigeria, to University studies in Ghana, where he'd secretly hoped to further his soccer career, he eventually got a scholarship to study agriculture in Israel. During his year in Israel he fell in love with a Filipina, and she was the eventual inspiration for him to come to Tasmania.

We meet artist Chris Levine, a British contemporary artist renowned for his pioneering work with light and lasers. His innovative approach transcends traditional mediums, integrating technology and spirituality to create immersive art installations that challenge and expand human perception. Levine's multidisciplinary practice encompasses installation, photography, performance, fashion, music, and design. He employs lasers and sound frequencies to craft environments that engage viewers on both sensory and contemplative levels. This synthesis of technology and art positions Levine's work within a broader historical context, aligning with movements that seek to transcend the physical and delve into the metaphysical.A seminal piece in Levine's portfolio is "Lightness of Being" (2004), a holographic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This work has been lauded for its spiritual depth and technical mastery, with the National Portrait Gallery describing it as "the most evocative image of a royal by any artist." The portrait captures the ethereal quality of light and presence, reflecting Levine's ability to merge artistic expression with technological innovation. Beyond portraiture, Levine has engaged in numerous projects that bridge various artistic disciplines. In 2012, the artist partnered with Anohni and the Johnsons for their "Swanlight" performance at Radio City Music Hall, commissioned by the MoMA, New York, integrating laser with musical performance and creating a multisensory experience. Levine's site-specific large scale installations have pushed the boundaries of light art, taking diverse settings from the historic Durham Cathedral to the contemporary landscape of Hobart, Tasmania. Aligned with the traditions of public art inspiring communities, Levine's works make immersive art accessible to broader audiences. In 2021, Levine's exhibition at Houghton Hall, 528 Hz Love Frequency, featured "Molecule of Light," a monumental 25-meter-high sculpture that transformed the landscape and cemented his innovative approach to light art. This installation not only showcased the artist's technical prowess but also his ability to harmonize art with architectural space, creating a dialogue between the artwork and its environment. Through his multidisciplinary practice, Levine continues to explore the infinite possibilities of light in art, contributing to the ongoing dialogue on the intersection of technology, spirituality, and visual expression. His work stands as a testament to the transformative power of art, inviting viewers to experience the world through a lens of heightened awareness.Follow @ChrisLevine on InstagramVisit: https://chrislevine.com/ Hosted on Acast.

It's time to take a trip down south to Tasmania, or as I call it, Australia adjacent. When I first heard that Harry Murray had the nickname of "Mad" I didn't really see it. Nothing jumped out as too crazy. Then I saw his picture and yup, those eyes? He's crazy as fuck. But in a good way. The military bottled that crazy up and hurled it at the enemy and let him just do his thing. And boy did he do that thing. Enjoy!
