Podcasts about Tasmania

Traveling around, I've become aware of how Pacific Northwest rain is different from rain patterns in other regions of the US. Take Texas, for example. Texas rain pours. Houses don't have gutters there, presumably because they can't engineer them large enough to accommodate the deluges reliably. Storm water infrastructure is three times the size of what I see around here. In contrast, Oregon rain is persistent. Drizzle can last for days. It's kind of like the tortoise and the hare, I guess. This soundscape was recorded in Forest Park last year around this time, on a dead-end, unnamed trail that doesn't see a lot of use, but nonetheless features a sturdy old bench. It is a pretty sweet listening spot for this reason, and this particular time slice offers a pretty accurate sound portrait of our soft rain. Our soft power. Did you know that the Pacific Temperate Rainforest—a bioregion extending from the northern California redwoods to the coastal forests along the gulf of Alaska—can pack more carbon per acre than a tropical rainforest like the Amazon? The Pacific Temperate Rainforest is the second-most dense biomass repository and carbon sink in the world (bested only by the Eucalyptus regnant forests of Victoria and Tasmania, Australia) and it's what gives our Pacific Northwest rain its unique character (and sound). The Pacific Temperate Rainforest operates like a giant lung. Just as a lung draws in air, extracts what's vital, and releases what the body needs to stay alive, the Pacific Temperate Rainforest breathes on a continental scale, pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and locking it away in massive old-growth trunks, roots, and the deep organic soils beneath them, while exhaling oxygen and releasing moisture that cycles inland as rain. The forest doesn't just store carbon passively; it actively pumps water vapor into the atmosphere, seeding clouds and feeding rivers that sustain salmon, which in turn fertilize the forest floor when they die. It's a closed loop where nothing is wasted.Spring Shower is available under the artist name Listening Spot on all streaming platforms Friday, March 20th, 2026.

This week, we focus on Khaled’s story, which offers insight into hope amid conflict. From Yemen to Tasmania, Khaled recalls his journey through university study and creative pursuits in a very different environment from the one he once called home. Khaled from Yemen by 177 Nations That story was from the 177 Nations Podcast. 177 Nations is produced by Mark Thompson from Lutruwita, so-called Tasmania.

Murder March #3 Will, Adam and Mike watched NITRAM (2021). It's from Justin Kurzel, the same director as SNOWTOWN and THE ORDER. It's a film about the most notorious mass murderer in Tasmania history, played by Caleb Landry Jones. Even though the film delves into dark subject matter, we bring humor and honest insight into the tragic story.

When a 2.3 magnitude earthquake struck the Beaconsfield Gold Mine in Tasmania on ANZAC Day 2006, seventeen miners were underground. Fourteen walked out. One didn't survive. And two men — Todd Russell and Brant Webb — simply disappeared into the rock. In this episode, Julie and Kaycee go deep into the fourteen days that followed: the silence, the injuries, the moment rescuers heard something unexpected, and the painstaking engineering effort to bring them home — plus the part of the story that rarely gets told, what survival cost them long after they walked back into the light. 00:00 Patreon 00:34 Podcast Intro And Setup 01:09 Mine Collapse Strikes 03:46 Meet Todd And Brant 05:42 Trapped In Darkness 08:44 Rescue Plan And Bad Ground 11:07 Singing Confirms Life 12:28 Borehole Lifeline Supplies 14:00 Injuries And Long Wait 16:05 Grief And Gallows Humor 17:57 Music And Foo Fighters Note 19:57 Drilling The Escape Tunnel 21:58 World Watches The Rescue 22:46 Day 14 Breakthrough 24:50 Aftermath PTSD And Community Cost 28:05 Why They Survived 30:22 Legacy And Closing Thanks 32:19 Reviews And Listener Outreach   Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ REFERENCES: Beaconsfield Mine Collapse, Wikipedia Bad Ground: Inside the Beaconsfield Mine Rescue — Tony Wright, Todd Russell & Brant Webb The Examiner, Launceston — "Rescuers Real Heroes," April 2016 Australian Geographic — "On This Day: Beaconsfield Miners Rescued," November 2013 SBS News — "Beaconsfield Miners Speak of Lasting Scars," April 2016 Raisebore Australia — Beaconsfield Rescue Case Study, raisebore.com.au Monument Australia — Beaconsfield Mine Rescue Plaque Record Celebrity Speakers Australia — Todd Russell Speaker Profile World Socialist Web Site — "The Australian Media and the Beaconsfield Mine Rescue," May 2006 Geoscience Australia — Seismic Event Records, April 2006 Channel 9 — Todd Russell and Brant Webb exclusive interview, May 21, 2006 60 Minutes Australia — Todd Russell interview on PTSD The Sydney Morning Herald — Beaconsfield Mine rescue coverage, May 2006 Prime Minister John Howard — Parliamentary Reception Statement, May 29, 2006 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On March 3, 2011, Rachel Funari - an American woman visiting Tasmania - stepped into that landscape, and vanished.  She was 35, she was alone, and the last confirmed sighting was around 3:30 that afternoon, at a small shack beside the start of the Fluted Cape Walking Track.Then - nothing.  No phone call. No “made it back safe.” No trace of where she went next.  Days later, when friends realize they hadn't heard from her, a major search begins - land, sea, air - focused on the trails and steep coastline of Bruny Island.Searchers comb dense brushland and cliff edges that drop hundreds of metres. Still, Rachel doesn't turn up.Over time, her disappearance became one of Tasmania's highest profile missing persons cases. Listen as we dive into Bruny Island, the case of Rachel Funari, and how to stay alive on vacation.Do you have a story to share?

Episode 348 Thought extinct for 6,000 years, two marsupial species have been discovered alive in New Guinea. Biologists have found a new genus of marsupial glider and the Pygmy Long-fingered Possum on a small Western part of the island. One biologist said this discovery was “more important than finding a living Thylacine in Tasmania”. Host Rowan Hooper is joined by Tim Flannery of the Australian Museum in Sydney, who led the team that confirmed the discovery. He tells us all about these quirky and cute creatures, one of which is held up as sacred by some Indigenous communities - who won't even utter its name in public. Learn about the glider's habit of forming monogamous relationships and its gardening prowess. And discover why the long-fingered possum's finger is so long. Other key players in this research are Professor Kris Helgen, multiple researchers from the University of Papua - and some of the local villagers.

Rural news and events from Tasmania and the nation.

Ever heard of Tasmania? It's Australia's giant green island — almost the size of Sri Lanka — and yet, barely half a million people live there. Why? That's the mystery we're solving. Tasmania is like Australia's cooler, quieter twin, from its wild Roaring Forties winds to lush rainforests and untouched coasts. It's less fiery, more forested, and runs on clean energy — so why do people still see it as remote? We're diving deep into Tasmania's weird climate, rugged geography, and what really makes it so different from mainland Australia.

El 28 de abril de 1996, un pequeño pueblo histórico en Tasmania se convirtió en el escenario de una de las masacres más impactantes del mundo moderno.En esta primera parte del caso de Martin Bryant y la Masacre de Port Arthur, nos alejamos del momento del horror para entender algo fundamental: ¿quién era el hombre detrás de los disparos?Nos vamos a su infancia.A sus primeros comportamientos preocupantes.A la relación con su padre.Al incendio que marcó su historial.A la muerte de su padre y la herencia que cambió su vida.Como saben, en Crónicas de Crimen creemos que para comprender un hecho tan devastador, es necesario analizar el contexto completo.En este episodio exploramos:• Su desarrollo en la infancia• Señales de alarma ignoradas• Su aislamiento social• El entorno familiar• Los antecedentes previos a la masacreEste contenido se presenta con fines informativos y educativos.

Australia is best known for its Shiraz. Big bold Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon from Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra. These are all from South Australia.We have talked about Western Australia (Margaret River) known for Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.Yarra Valley in Victoria is a cooler region known for its Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.Tasmania is off the south Coast of Australia and is an island. This is a cooler region and produces sparkling wines, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay.Riesling is normally dry and crisp and best known for coming from the Clare Valley and the Eden Valley. Barossa Valley: Famous for bold Shiraz.Coonawarra: Renowned for rich Cabernet Sauvignon.Margaret River: A key region for elegant Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc blends.Clare Valley: Known for world-class, dry Riesling.McLaren Vale: Produces excellent Grenache, Shiraz, and GSM blends.Yarra Valley: A cooler climate region well known for quality Pinot Noir. Tonight, we are tasting:2020 Koonunga Hill, Shiraz Cabernet. Penfolds Wines South Australia. The winery is one of the best known in Australia and was established in 1844. Deep purple color, sweet dark dense berries, chocolate. Medium acidity, full-bodied, 14.5% alcohol. Flavors of vanilla bean creaminess and warm spice. Dried rosemary and sage might give appearance of earthiness. I purchased at Costco for $8. I mostly saw this wine running around $11, but I did see an online clearance sale (at Fine Wine and Good Spirits) for $4.33 (it said $11.26 off). The wine comes from the South Australia, but is a multi-regional blend. 65% Shiraz and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon.2020 Max's Shiraz Cabernet Penfolds. I purchased this wine at WineStyles for $17.00. Wine Enthusiast says aromas of blackberry jam, cherry cordial, pencil shavings and sweet vanilla bean-and-dark-chocolate oak influence. Rich, balanced acidity with tannins in the background. Could benefit from a few more years of aging. The wine scored a 92 from Wine Enthusiast. 70% Shiraz and 30% cabernet Sauvignon. 14.5% alcohol.2021 Bin 28 Shiraz Penfolds. Purchased at Wall to Wall Wine for $30. Wine Enthusiast says dense, ripe and powerful with quite a bit of oak. Chocolate with dark fruit and pepper spice on the nose. Flavor is rich and luscious, muscular tannins support rather than overpowers. Could age for a few more years. The wine was scored a 93 from the Wine Enthusiast. The wine is aged in American Oak for 12 months. 14.5% alcohol.We both liked #2 Max's Shiraz/Cabernet the best, and we thought this was the best buy of the night. I also liked #3 Bin 28 Shiraz, a very powerful fruity-oaky wine. I felt it lost a little balance because of the amount of oak, Denise didn't care for it's finish. Neither of us really cared for #1 Koonunga Hill, Shiraz/Cabernet. Next week we are exploring white wines of Australia.

Thanks to Tourism Tasmania I recently travelled to Maydena where I got to sit down with the one and only, Ed Masters. Ed's at a really interesting point in his career right now, so we get into what's changed for him, why he's moving away from a full Enduro World Cup schedule, and how his perspective on racing has evolved over the years.

Giữa lòng Hobart yên bình, vắng bóng ẩm thực Việt Nam, hành trình của Saigon Express không chỉ là câu chuyện về hương vị, mà là cú bứt phá ngoạn mục của tinh thần khởi nghiệp Việt Nam.

Đằng sau bát phở nghi ngút khói, những chiếc gỏi cuốn giản dị, và chiếc bánh mì thịt “huyền thoại”, là khát vọng định vị thương hiệu Việt trên bản đồ quốc tế và sức mạnh gắn kết bền chặt của một cộng đồng xa xứ đầy bản sắc.

Alright, thanks to Tourism Tasmania I've been on the ground here in Maydena, bringing you some great conversations. This week, it's Aaron Gwin. Five-time overall World Cup champion, but that's history. This episode is about what's next. We dive into the move to Frameworks, his plan to ‘go dark' and get back to his very best, and what Hardline Tasmania was really like from inside the tape. We talk about sharing the pits with teammate and phenom, Asa Vermette, and how that dynamic is shaping up. He also opens up about rebuilding his fitness, the motivation that's still driving him, and what he expects from the season ahead. It's a laid-back chat with one of the greatest the sport has ever seen, heading into what could be the most exciting downhill season in years.

Fresh off a gruelling 20-plus hour travel day from Tasmania, Pinkbike's own social media correspondent Dan Wolfe sits down with Matt Beer and me to deconstruct the 2026 edition of Red Bull Hardline Tasmania. While the finals were ultimately rained out, Dan provides some on-the-ground insights at the "new school" of freeride-DH builds, noting that the days of "bro-science" are over, replaced by precise measurements and "green-light" marshals.The crew dives into the technical nuances of hitting 70+ km/h features, why Aaron Gwin looked surprisingly dangerous on his new ride, and the rumours surrounding a potential 2026 Canadian stop at Cypress Mountain.Featuring a rotating cast of the editorial team and other guests, the Pinkbike podcast is a weekly update on all the latest stories from around the world of mountain biking, as well as some frank discussion about tech, racing, and everything in between.
