"I chose a field recording, by Erick Ruiz Arellano, about a tunas seller in Zacatecas, Mexico. "I did a bit of digging to discover that Zacatecas is on the historical 'El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro' (aka the Silver Route) – a 2,500km road between Mexico City and San Juan Pueblo (in America) that was used from 1598 to 1882. "As I sought to translate and understand the conversations in this recording, I discovered that a "tunas seller" is someone who sells prickly pears. "Inspired by the repetitive creaking sound that this seller's equipment made as they walked from door to door, coupled with the rich ambience of the original recording, I immediately knew I wanted to use this creaking as the foundation of the track. I subtly sharpened up the timing between each creak and incorporated interesting snippets from the original recording. "The composition features vocal samples from online translation and pronunciation tools, discovered while researching the tunas/prickly pear connection. I also included a playful sample from Baloo's 'Bare Necessities' song from 'The Jungle Book' (1967), where he coincidentally sings about prickly pears. "What began as curiosity about a street vendor's creaking equipment evolved into a composition that celebrates the unexpected connections between modern Mexican street commerce, historical trade routes, and a bit of pop culture."

Tim is the team manager / DS of Shibden Apex RT which is the top ranked women's junior team in the WORLD. This team has been developing future stars for many years now, with the likes of Cat Ferguson and Imogen Wolff (Previous guests of the pod) both honing in their skills and talents to go on to further pro teams. The work that goes into being a team manager is hugely underrated, and in this podcast we hope to spread some light onto what is involved. We also talk about: How important sponsors are for teams What each of the girls does on a race weekend? How the parents are such key roles for the riders. And what pro teams are actually looking for?
Road racing's not just about the biggest races, the biggest names and the biggest teams. While the Giro d'Italia continues and hogs most of the headlines, there's plenty of quality racing going on elsewhere, just with a lesser profile and often less funding too. This leads us to the question: why can't Britain's most talented young team get a bike brand on board? That team is Shibden HopeTech Apex, and we hear from its manager, Tim Ferguson. He tells us about their astonishing run of success through the first half of this season, about the WorldTour teams interested in signing half a dozen or more of his riders, and reveals that they're achieving world-beating results on a budget that would barely cover the cost of one fully-fitted WorldTour racing bike. Despite this financial poverty, Ferguson also asserts that he's determined for his team to press on and keep producing talent, hoping that more support will come in future. We also hear from Cat Ferguson, Tim's daughter and the outstanding talent on that Shibden team. Signed to a multi-year deal with Movistar from 1 August, the 18-year-old British sensation reflects on a season where her worst position has been second, on the crop of British juniors who look set to make waves on the Women's WorldTour in the years ahead, on her determination to win an elusive rainbow jersey before she leaves the junior ranks, and of her gratitude for the women who have paved the way to better and sustainable careers at the top level. Out with the brown shorts and in with victories – that's been the story of Decathlon Ag2r La Mondiale's season so far. After nine wins in 2023, the French team already have 16 this year. We turned to their experienced road captain Larry Warbasse to get an insight into the reasons behind this change in fortunes. The American explains how Decathlon's arrival provided new motivation and focus, as well as extremely fast new bikes that have helped boost the riders' speed and confidence levels. Our Giro diary comes from Groupama-FDJ's Lewis Askey, who is full of praise for the organisers of the corsa rosa, reveals that Clarkson's Farm is getting his roommate Laurence Pithie sleeping like a baby in the evenings, and explains why he's confident in his own and his team's chances of his success before the race reaches Rome.

Talk of mergers are on the news menu just about everywhere, but before we turn to the latest on that issue, RadioCycling has quite a scoop...X-ray machines and iPads have been touted as the means to prevent motor-doping and reassure everyone in cycling that the sport is technologically clean. However, a RadioCycling investigation has found that, despite the UCI stating that “it carries out bike tests at all UCI men's and women's WorldTour events”, that is not the reality.Our canvassing of the 51 WorldTour and Women's WorldTour races reveals that there are huge holes in the technological testing programme, even extending to the Grand Tours, while at least one major stage race has not seen any testing since 2021. We dig into the details and ask the question: is the absence of tech fraud testing threatening cycling's credibility?We can't, of course, avoid the merger mayhem that's enveloped the sport. But is the reported fusion of Jumbo-Visma and Soudal-QuickStep simply an attempt to bring another big player back to the negotiating table? We pick over the latest rumours and discuss why this story provides another indication of cycling's flawed financial model.We then turn to Cat Ferguson, the outstandingly successful 17-year-old British junior who's signed a three-year deal with Movistar. We hear from her dad, Tim Ferguson, who provides the background to his daughter's transformation from Britain's second-best slalom skier to becoming the one rider almost every WorldTour team wanted to sign, and also hear about the Yorkshire team that's propelling Cat and a number of other girls to the top level.

Esperanza and Irwin welcome the writer Tim Ferguson for a free wheeling dialogue on all things East End. Tim's resume includes being a columnist and op-ed editor at the Wall Street Journal and editor for Forbes Asia. Impressive as his body of work has been, it is his present day writing and blog posts specific to eastern Long Island that caught our attention. We've actually touched on some of Tim's articles in past episodes of Our Hamptons, including the 50 Year Anniversary of Bridgehampton Commons, and the Halt The Highway Movement of 1972. This particular era, the 60's, 70's 80's has always been a sweet spot for us. Totally relatable and within our lifetimes, but still hearkening back to a very different eastern Long Island.
This week Rowan Dean's very special guest on the “Outsiders” podcast is comedy legend Tim Ferguson. Describing himself as forever the ‘outsider' and contrarian, Tim's impressive 4 decade career saw him at the forefront of Australia's comedy heyday, as one of the original members of the world famous Doug Anthony Allstars. Tim and Rowan's hilarious chat explores the state of Australian comedy and politics and delves into Tim's childhood, his comedic genius and how he faced his MS diagnosis. Join Rowan Dean as he turns Tim Ferguson, the ultimate ‘outsider' inside out.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Esperanza and Irwin go back 50 years to what may have been the brouhaha of the century on eastern Long Island. The proposed Highway Bypass was to go north of Route 27 through North Sea, Watermill, Bridgehampton, Sagaponack, Wainscott, East Hampton and ultimately ending in eastern Amagansett. "Build it and they shall come", was one perspective, saying traffic will be even worse. Farmland would be decimated. In a 1974 letter to the East Hampton Star, Tom Twomey, the Chair of the Halt The Highway committee claimed "the super highway will make our Town a bedroom community for migrants from Western Suffolk. They will skyrocket our taxes and make possible new giant shopping centers". But a 1974 Star editorial made the point that we can't turn back the clock, the people were already there garnered support from residents wanting the summer traffic eased. Hindsight is always 20/20. The writer Tim Ferguson's thought that "The protective impulse of 50 years ago just bought us more trouble today" is a point of view many believe. Let us know what you think after you listen!

Hard to believe, but 2022 marked the 50th anniversary of Bridgehampton Commons. Esperanza and Irwin dive head first into the writer Tim Ferguson's article "When A Shopping Mall Came To The Hamptons". One could argue that the Commons served as a metaphor for all the changes on the east end in the past half century. A shift in demographics, land use, development, the benefits of amenities and convenience at the cost of suburbanization. Are we grateful for it's presence? Was it the beginning of the end? Was there a grand anniversary celebration? We discuss all of that, and more!

Tim was told he had a condition before the show began, but he chose not to disclose it for fear of hurting his chances of landing the hosting gig. "If you look at old tapes, you can tell my eyes are fairly visibly crossed," Tim said.

The words 'adversity' and 'inspiring' get thrown around a lot in the world of sports but it is these two words that sum up this weeks guest Benny Roche and the team that he represents - the Australia Pararoo Football Team. The Pararoo's are Australia's national football team for athletes with cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury or symptoms acquired from stroke but don't let their perceived disabilities fool you - these blokes are ferocious competitors with skills and work ethic that rival some of the best able bodied footballers around. On top of this, they are also role models in the community who despite being dealt some fairly shitty hands both personally and professionally, continue to work hard and not let these challenges get in the way of where they are going and what they want to achieve. Benny's story from living with the daily struggles and adversity associated with CP - to representing his country on 54 occasions (scoring 30 goals) - to saving the CP Football program here in Australia by raising $160k in under 8 weeks (when the Australia Sports Commission cut their funding) is fair dinkum one of the best stories we've come across whilst doing this podcast.
