Luis Torrens has been a consistent backstop for the Mets over the past few years and he met with Pat McCarthy to discuss getting more games with the young crop of arms along with how he has changed as a player since his time with the Padres nearly a decade ago.

Zach, Jack, and Andrew discuss the inconsistent Mets offense, making every pitcher look like Cy Young, base stealing woes, Semien's defensive decline, Pete Alonso's defensive resurgence, the return of Lindor, Torrens and his struggles, the potential Kodai Senga return, Christian Scott's future, the reason for Nolan McLean's bad starts, and some actual hope for the future.

Woodville West Torrens CEO David Couzner joined David & Will to discuss the feelings around players being taken in the midseason draft. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are episodes of The Adelaide Show, and then there are events. This is one of the latter. Recorded live at the Mercury Cinema as part of South Australia’s History Festival 2026, History Hit Parade brings together broadcaster and journalist Keith Conlon and host Steve Davis for a ninety-minute show that weaves original songwriting with storytelling, historical context, and the kind of warm, unhurried conversation that feels like sitting in a room full of people who actually know where you live. Ten songs. Ten slices of South Australian life. All of them written with pen and paper by Steve, given musical life through his AI-assisted “virtual session band,” and offered here as what he describes as “audition pieces” for real musicians who might one day make them their own. There is no SA Drink of the Week in this episode. The entire show is the Musical Pilgrimage. Rather than a single track appended at the end, this episode is the songs, each one set up by Keith’s historical grounding and Steve’s personal connections before the music rolls. Full notes on each song appear in the segment breakdown below. You can navigate episodes using chapter markers in your podcast app. Not a fan of one segment?

Running Sheet: History Hit Parade 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week There is no SA Drink Of The Week this week. 00:04:07 History Hit Parade The Mercury Cinema is not a neutral venue for Steve Davis. He was married there on a sweltering 42-degree December day in 2002. He launched Talked About Marketing there. And it is where, on two days in May 2026, he and Keith Conlon performed History Hit Parade to an audience that included Steve’s parents, his former drama teacher, the chair of the History Trust, and the real-life couple immortalised in one of the songs. The name History Hit Parade, Steve reveals, was Keith’s idea, drawn from his memory of the Harold Wright Hit Parade on 5AD, a Thursday-night ritual of about eight or ten songs in an era before the Top 40 existed. Buddy Holly, Elvis, Perry Como, and Pat Boone: that was your week’s music. The name lands perfectly for a show that does something similar, except every track is an original, and every track is South Australian. Song 1: Jack and Lil (Up Please, Going Up)Keith sets the historical scene: John Martins began as Peters and Martin, a drapery store in Rundle Street, until Mr Martin was released from his duties due to what Keith delicately describes as “debauchery.” The Hayward family eventually took the helm, and it was Sir Edward Hayward who, in 1933, looked to Canada for inspiration and brought the Christmas Pageant to Adelaide. He was so nervous before the first one that he hired a biplane, circled the inner suburbs with a megaphone, and personally invited people to come. They did. About 300,000 still do, each year.The personal thread in this song belongs to Steve’s maternal grandparents, Jack and Lil, whose photograph appeared on the screen behind him. Lil worked in the kitchenware department. Jack was the young engineer installing the new lifts in the building during the 1930s. The rest, as Steve says, is history. The song follows their life together as their family grows, moving floor by floor through what John Martins offered, with the lift ladies’ announcement, “Up please, going up,” as its guiding refrain. Steve thanks Paul Flavell, who has written a book on John Martins, and former John Martin’s planner, Robert Tedstone, who provided a complete floor-by-floor inventory to keep the lyrics accurate. Song 2: Oh MarionMarion, the suburb, was surveyed in 1838 by Colonel Light’s private firm after Light had broken with Governor Hindmarsh. The name comes from Marianne, daughter of resident commissioner James Hurtle Fisher, though somewhere along the way Mariannen became Marion. Keith’s own connection is fond: his father learned to drive in the 1950s by heading south into the almond groves and vineyards of Marion, where the long straight roads offered room to practise.Steve’s Marion is the 1970s version: aerial photographs, numbered landmarks, railway tracks where he’d flatten 20-cent pieces, overpass pile drivers thumping for weeks, and a Coles New World at the Park Holme Shopping Centre. He walked to school at age six, “with my little satchel and my shorts.” One afternoon he left school early, got lost, and found his way to a doctor’s surgery he recognised. They rang his mother. She wasn’t home. The neighbour came to collect him and made him a sandwich. “That was life in Marion back then,” he says, with a fondness that carries no nostalgia for the vineyards his own family’s house helped displace. Song 3: My Jolly ValentineThis one starts with the Torrens. Keith explains that before the lake arrived, the river in summer was “a series of rather smelly waterholes” until Mayor Sir Edwin Smith, a beer baron with civic ambitions, created the weir. Within a year of the lake’s arrival in 1882, a rowing craze had taken hold, boat sheds lined the banks, and Jolley’s Boathouse was selling milkshakes and pies to rowers who could rent a boat by the hour.The Palais de Danse gets its moment: a floating ballroom on a barge moored near the Elder Park Rotunda from 1924, with a soda fountain, no grog, and 800 people on opening night. It was gone by 1928, Keith noting, “maybe it was just not well made and sank slowly into the mud.”Steve’s research for this Valentine’s Day song turned up two details that captured his imagination. First, the Rundle Street Parade: on Saturday nights, young men would walk down one side of the street, young women down the other, window-shopping for company rather than goods. Second, the postage stamp code used in the twice-daily mail service to communicate what couldn’t be written openly: upside-down meant “I love you,” tilted right meant yes, left meant no, sideways meant “let’s stay as friends,” which Steve notes is “a soft no.” Song 4: Spring Gully RoadKeith traces the geography first: up Third Creek from the Torrens, past the village of Magill, pointing toward Norton Summit. Market gardens that ran through to Tea Tree Gully. One of Steve’s friends, Dominic, remembers his father loading a ute with cucumbers twice a week and driving them across town to Spring Gully. That was not long ago.The song covers four generations families. Edward McKee began pickling onions after returning from the war. His son-in-law Alan McMillan, stepson Eric Webb, and friend Malcolm Climer formed the second generation. Kevin and Ross Webb steered it through 2013 when a public campaign saved the company. Russell and Tegan Webb were at the helm when cheap imports and cost-of-living pressures finally made it too hard.Steve played the song to Russell Webb before the performance. Russell’s response: “Our whole family thinks this song should be in the state archives for covering the story so well.” Steve says it with quiet pride, and then lets the song make the case. Song 5: Away, Away (The PS Canally Crew Song)Keith tells the founding story of the Murray River trade with the energy of someone who could spend a full hour on it. Governor Sir Henry Fox Young puts up a prize in 1853 for the first boat to take a paddle steamer from Goolwa to Swan Hill and back. Two men are unknowingly racing: Captain William Randell, a flour miller from Gumeracha building the Mary Ann upstream from Mannum, and Captain Francis Cadell, who has a paddle steamer built in New South Wales and sails it through the Murray mouth. They end up racing each other, neither knowing the other was coming. Both get their prize, and instantly the river is transformed: wool that was a month away from market by bullock wagon is now days away by water.Steve wrote this song aboard the PS Marion, on a three-day cruise, watching jet skis cut through the peace of the river and thinking about the crews who worked these boats without rest. He noted he’d been “a bit passionate” about the contrast. One thing he is proud of: annoying the captain by asking about terminology, which is how he discovered that “larboard” was the original term for port side, changed because “larboard” and “starboard” were too easily confused when shouted across a noisy deck. Song 6: Shout Your Mates Another RoundThis song grew from a drive past the West End Brewery site on Port Road, now demolished. The chimney is gone. Steve felt its absence.Keith sketches the arc: South Australia once had around 43 breweries. The West End Brewery operated from 1859 through to about 1980, and somewhere in there a Westies supporter working at the brewery persuaded the boss to paint the chimney in the SANFL grand final colours each year. Port Adelaide’s coach Fos Williams asked to be included. The tradition held, moved to a second chimney after the first came down, and now continues on the old brickworks chimney with the help of some “fancy technology.”The pickaxe long-neck bottle gets its own verse. Those amber glass communal bottles that sat on dinner tables, shared rather than individual. Steve remembers the day his Italian neighbour Nino offered him a sip of Southwark Bitter from one: “It put me off beer for the rest of my life.” He recalls his paternal grandfather worked at the original Hindley Street brewery. A bottle recently turned up on Kangaroo Island. These things accumulate meaning. Song 7: Tunarama Love SongGreg and Nicole, Steve’s brother-in-law and sister-in-law, are in the audience. They wave when introduced. Greg is described as “so bashful.”Keith gives the historical context: Captain Matthew Flinders named Memory Cove after losing eight sailors there when he was 28 years old, 10,000 miles from home. He named Cape Catastrophe, Thistle Island, and Boston Island after those men. Port Lincoln was named, Keith theorises, from homesickness for Lincolnshire. The tuna industry came after the war, when scientists found massive schools in the Bight. Colin Thiele wrote Bluefin there as a high school teacher, which became a film. Tunarama itself began in 1962.The song’s story is Greg’s: he left Adelaide on a bicycle heading west, eventually reached Port Lincoln, and through mutual friends met Nicole. They came back to Adelaide later that year and were at the Mercury Cinema for Steve and Nardia’s wedding. “Their love story didn’t actually happen at Tunarama,” Steve admits, “but my wife loves her rom-com movies, so I did a bit of rom-com where I just put it against the backdrop.” He also notes that Tunarama won Best Seafood Experience this year, and that “it is okay to call someone a tosser, at Tunarama.” Song 8: Good Night DonThis one has weight. Every episode of The Adelaide Show signs off with “Good night, Don,” so a song about Don Dunstan was, as Steve puts it, always going to happen. Keith, who lived through the Dunstan decade, tries to give it its due in a few minutes. Decriminalisation of homosexuality. Women’s rights reforms. Aboriginal land rights. The South Australian Film Corporation in 1972. The State Theatre Company in 1974. The Rundle Mall, celebrating its 50th anniversary later in 2026. The week of the performance happened to be the anniversary of the death of Dr George Duncan, thrown into the Torrens in 1972, a murder that accelerated the push for decriminalisation.Keith acknowledges the controversies too: the Salisbury Affair, the personal challenges, the pajama press conference, and, with particular relish, the day Don stood on the Pier Hotel balcony during the 1976 tidal wave scare and told the crowd that “the only thing that will happen today is that we will all get a bit hotter.”Steve wrote the song in Brechtian cabaret style, a nod to Don’s close friendship with Robyn Archer. The refrain draws on a George Bernard Shaw quote: “Your life was no brief candle, was a mighty torch that shone.” Steele Hall also gets a verse, recognised for his willingness to equalise the electoral boundaries even when it worked against his own party. Song 9: Cellar Door ShuffleKeith went to university with Malcolm Seppelt, “which was pretty helpful,” and takes us back to the first commercial vineyard up Jacob’s Creek, planted by Johann Gramp, one of the early German arrivals. The creek became the name of one of the most recognised wine labels in the world. The doctors follow: Penfold, Hamilton, Angove, Tolley. Keith notes that by the 1960s, 90% of South Australian grapes were going into fortifieds. Barossa Pearl and BenEan Moselle changed that. Keith asks the audience who had a sip of BenEan Moselle as a youngster. Most hands go up.The song is partly in honour of Joseph, who runs Ballycroft at Greenock. Steve describes him as “the sweet spot of wine tasting because it’s not stuffy with him.” The song delivers two reminders: if your cellar door is making you feel uncomfortable, leave; and you are not there to guzzle. Song 10: Ben Venuti (The Rostrevor Pizza Bar Song)The final song is an ode to Gaetano at Rostrevor Pizza Bar, who has stood behind the same counter for 35-plus years.Keith sets up the context with Don Dunstan’s liquor reforms: the end of the six o’clock swill, and the radical notion of drinking a glass of wine at a footpath cafe. Then the postwar wave of Italian migrants, and how pizza arrived in Adelaide. Keith’s first was in 1962 at a corner of Hindley and Morphett Streets, long since demolished. “In another ten years,” he predicts, “there’ll be Australians who reckon we actually made it.”Steve moved to Rostrevor in 2006 and spent his evenings stripping 1970s Italian wallpaper off the walls of his new house before heading around the corner to eat Gaetano’s pizza. Gaetano calls his dough “pastry,” starts making it the night before, and has won awards for it. He welcomes every regular by name. He personally refuses to put pineapple on a pizza, but if you want it, he will make it. “The Italians,” Steve says, “they understand the value of the money.” He goes through about a pallet of pineapple a month.The song is in Italian and close-to-Italian, with the chorus “Benvenuti, come inside” running through it. Steve says you will come along for the ride. ClosingSteve thanks the audience and invites them to stay in touch with Keith via This Day in South Australia on Facebook and LinkedIn, where Keith posts about South Australian history every day, and via the Wednesday morning bike rides from Bicycle Express in the city at 9am. He then plays the old State Bank ad, which Keith greets with “Oh, dear. Well, I wasn’t actually named at the time, but a lot of people said, ‘I reckon that’s Keith in there.'”Steve closes by noting that the album from the show, History Hit Parade, is available on Bandcamp. 00:00:00 Musical Pilgrimage No Musical Pilgrimage this week because the whole show was a Musical Pilgrimage.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jerry starts with the sounds of Mike Breen as there was ‘bedlam at the Garden'. Jalen Brunson was asked if he was targeting James Harden. Charles Barkley said ‘that was a damn choke job' by the Cavs. Kenny Atkinson talked about why he didn't take his timeouts. He was also asked about taking Harden off of Brunson. The Nationals beat the Mets as Torrens had a bit of a rough night behind the plate. James Wood had an inside the park grand slam. The Yankees beat the Blue Jays as Ben Rice hit his 16th HR.

Last night's Knicks game was ugly with plenty of misses until the fourth quarter. Callers react to what they didn't like from the Knicks, wonder what Eddie's final drop will be on Thursday, and break down Brunson's use of the top of the backboard. Jerry returns with Mike Breen's "bedlam at the Garden" audio, followed by Brunson on targeting James Harden, Charles Barkley calling it a Cavs choke job, and Kenny Atkinson explaining his timeouts and taking Harden off Brunson. Finally, the Nationals beat the Mets as Torrens had a rough night and James Wood hit an inside-the-park grand slam, the Yankees beat the Blue Jays with Ben Rice's 16th homer, and the hour closes with Boomer going into the national Radio Hall of Fame.

Mets Catcher Luis Torrens got himself a nice birthday present from the team today in the form of a 2 year contract extension and after the ink dried he met with Pat McCarthy to talk the contract and the opportunity to stay in Queens for the next few years.

Qualsevol que vagi sovint a l'estadi Balear l'ha vist i inclús el coneix pel seu nom: Joan Torrens és l'encarregat de material de l'Atlètic Balears. Nascut a Petra, els seus pares es dedicaven a la pagesia i varen baixar a les rodalies de Palma quan ell tenia 3 anys. Després de fer el servei militar va fer feina durant un temps a la fàbrica de cervesa, però, prest, en paral·lel, començaria a treballar pel Ferriolense i després pel Mallorca. Fa 6 anys, el varen cridar del Baleares. No va tenir cap dubte que era la seva darrera oportunitat per gaudir des d'una posició privilegiada d'un dels seus dos vicis: el futbol.

South Australia’s History Festival gets a fitting soundtrack in episode 432, and it arrives in three distinct voices: a geneticist-historian overturning stones in founding-era South Australia, Mr South Australia himself bringing context and colour to every corner of the conversation, and an original paddle steamer shanty that had Keith Conlon attempting to haul imaginary ropes. Dr Samantha Battams is back for her fourth visit to the Adelaide Show, this time with a book that drops her own family tree right into the founding moments of this state. There is no SA Drink of the Week in this episode. The interview was recorded at the State Library with a room booking that had a firm end time, so Steve, Keith, and Samantha made the most of every minute with stories instead. The Musical Pilgrimage this episode is Steve Davis and the Virtualosos performing Away Away: The Canally Crew Song, an original river shanty written in tribute to the paddle steamer PS Canally, which is being restored at Morgan and set to relaunch in late May 2026, and the song features in Keith and Steve’s show, History Hit Parade show at the Mercury Cinema.

Running Sheet: All Singing All Reading South Australian History Festival 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week There is no SA Drink Of The Week this week. 00:02:09 Dr Samantha Battams on Paving the Way May is South Australian History Festival month, and if you want to know why that matters, consider this: the western suburb we now call Grange was once known as Reedbeds, where Captain Charles Sturt made his first home while the colony was being developed. One of our guest’s ancestors was the gardener there. Dr Samantha Battams has written a book that puts her own family tree right in the founding moments of this state, and she’s launching it at the History Festival on 15th May. Samantha, has previously been on The Adelaide Show in 249 – Captain Harry Butler and his Red Devil, 279 – The Secret Art Of Poisoning, and 344 – True Crime SA style. The western suburb we now know as Grange was once called Reedbeds. Captain Charles Sturt made his home there in the colony’s earliest days, and one of Dr Samantha Battams’ ancestors was his gardener. That’s the kind of connection Paving the Way is full of. Battams’ three-times great-grandfather, Johann Gramp, arrived at Kangaroo Island in 1837 as an eighteen-year-old orphan aboard a vessel that wrecked shortly after. He had lost both parents by age seven, worked for a baker in Bavaria, and made his way to Hamburg where the South Australia Company was recruiting German labourers. He would go on to establish what Keith Conlon describes as the first commercial vineyard near Jacobs Creek. Keith also notes that he gets there by a roundabout route, and Samantha fills in the Bavarian versus Prussian distinctions that get flattened when viewed from Australian distance. The animosity ran deep enough that during the First World War, Bavarians were reportedly directing Allied forces toward Prussian positions. The Prussian Lutheran refugees who arrived sponsored by George Fife Angus get their own thread. Their pastor Kavel had travelled to London and secured passage for a group who had been holding secret chapel meetings in barns rather than accept the king’s new prayer book. One Schulz ancestor was accused by the pastor of leaving for earthly reasons rather than faith. Steve’s response: “I think had it been the time of the prosperity gospel, he would’ve been welcomed with open arms. “From Germany to Ireland, and the Fahy family from County Clare. Edmund Fahy arrived with two younger sisters, one of them just ten years old, and the family was almost immediately separated. Edmund headed to the Kapunda mines while the girls went south with an aunt. Samantha spent years untangling the network of Irish immigrants who came out together, sponsored one another, and intermarried across the colony. One thread leads to Dave Graney. “I’ve always loved Dave Graney,” Battams says. “I didn’t know I was related to him.” The Rumbleow family at Encounter Bay ran the first tourist operations in the area. Caroline Rumbleow, who married a man named John Cakebread (“What a name,” says Steve), was said to be the inspiration for a character in the novel Paving the Way by Simpson Newland, which also gives Battams’ book its title. Family accounts suggest Newland followed Caroline to the Ballarat goldfields and asked her to leave her husband. It did not eventuate. Samantha undertook a cultural consultation before writing sections involving Aboriginal people. Old newspaper language was either replaced with more appropriate terminology in square brackets or, in one case involving a funeral pyre, stripped of its sensationalist framing while the story itself was kept. She also describes firsthand colonial accounts of a corroboree of 500 people on the banks of the Torrens near what is now the Paradise Bridge. The interview closes on a revelation hidden since 1890. Battams had her DNA tested to find her adopted father’s biological family, and dismissed a recurring surname, Hazelhurst, as irrelevant to her mother’s side. A later ancestry update showed 25 per cent of her DNA tracing to northwest England and Wales. Following the Hazelhurst name led to Christchurch, New Zealand, and to the conclusion that her great-grandmother Edith Thompson was already pregnant when she married, with a father other than the man recorded. The cover of Paving the Way is a photograph of Edith and Battams’ grandfather. “The true story had been kept from 1890 to 2025,” Battams says. Paving the Way is being launched at the 2026 History Festival on 15 May. Dr Lanie Anderson, a previous Adelaide Show guest (107 – Lainie Anderson: View from the hills), will launch the book. 00:27:59 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature Steve Davis & The Virtualosos‘ “river shanty” song, Away Away (The Canally Crew Song). Steve Davis wrote this original river shanty after time spent aboard the PS Marion, sister vessel to the PS Canally, a paddle steamer launched in 1907 that is now being restored at Morgan ahead of a relaunch in late May 2026. Keith Conlon puts the song in context: Morgan once had queues of paddle steamers and six freight trains a day departing with river cargo. He also produces a story about a paddle steamer loaded with materials to build a pub at Bourke that ran aground in a drought and only floated free two years later, by which point the pub had been built by other means. Away Away is one of ten original songs Steve has written about South Australia for History Hit Parade, the show he and Keith Conlon are performing at Mercury Cinema during the 2026 South Australian History Festival. Keith is confident audiences will want to sing along. A stage jig from Keith is, in his own assessment, highly in doubt. Booking details are in this link: History Hit Parade tickets and information. It’s on Monday, May 11, 11am, and Sunday, May 17, at 4pm and it will simply be an enjoyable show of historical anecdotes, fun, and music.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mets beat the Giants as Torrens had a pinch hit RBI double. Jared Young had 3 hits and played well in the field. The Yankees lost to the Marlins as Jake Bird struggled on the mound. Brodes in Philadelphia was screaming about the Flyers. The Moment of The Day: ‘I will beat Geno's Ass'.

Jerry is here for his first update. We heard the sounds of the Mets beating the Giants as Torrens had a big pinch hit. The Yankees had a lead but lost it and the game to the Marlins. Dan Hurley's wife talked about his bracelet of ‘holy beads'. Clyde Frazier compared the Bulls to Iran, being decimated. Cooper Flagg scored 45 yesterday against the Lakers.

Luis Torrens started the game on the Mets bench but in the bottom of the 10th he came through in a big way lacing a single to extend the game and after the win he met with Pat McCarthy how he stayed warm and the importance of that kind of win early in the season.

Adelaide City Council Director of Infrastructure Tom McCready joined David & Will to discuss the impact of e coli on the River Torrens. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"First thing I'd say is do it… just throw yourself into it."  "Spend the first ninety days getting to know the people… listening… before acting."  "Communication here is more high context… there's a lot of reading between the lines."  "Trust is doing what you say you would do."  "A leader is someone who takes a strategy and a vision breaks that down into habits… and empowers people to execute."  Grant Torrens is an Australian recruitment leader and long-tenured Hays executive who became Managing Director of Hays Japan after a two-decade, multi-country journey with the firm. He joined Hays in London in 2006 through its graduate program—initially as a jobseeker who "fell into recruitment" like many in the industry—working a demanding hedge-fund desk in the City. After navigating the Global Financial Crisis, he took a career break to travel across Southeast Asia, where a short visit to colleagues in Singapore turned into a relocation, leveraging Hays' global internal mobility and his transferable financial-services recruitment expertise. ] Years later, he was offered the Japan role—but COVID-era border restrictions meant he effectively "ran Japan from Singapore" for about 15 months, relying heavily on his Japan leadership team and building data-driven management systems to lead remotely. When he finally relocated to Tokyo, he focused on deep listening, high-clarity communication, and change management—while guiding Hays Japan through a strategic shift toward stronger service for Nikkei clients and hiring more Japanese nationals, including team members who don't work in English.  Grant Torrens' leadership story is built on three threads: global mobility, remote-first problem solving under pressure, and culture-building at the intersection of Hays' global norms and Japan's high-context communication. He joined Hays "by accident" in London—starting in financial services at a moment when the City rewarded performance and speed, then learning to survive and adapt through the post-2008 shock. The early lesson that carries forward is pragmatic: when conditions change, your approach must pivot too. That mindset shows up repeatedly in his later Japan leadership—especially when COVID delayed his physical move and forced him to lead Japan from outside the country. During that "remote with a capital R" period, Torrens deliberately upgraded the mechanics of decision-making: he turned raw sales and activity data into usable management information, taught himself Excel at a much higher level, and used those insights to create sharper, more useful conversations over video calls. It's a very modern leadership move, but grounded in a classic idea: if you can't rely on presence, you rely on clarity—data clarity, expectation clarity, and communication clarity.  Once on the ground in Japan, his operating principle remained "listen first." He emphasizes that many leaders arrive, see processes that look "wrong," and try to replace them with headquarters logic—only to discover later those practices existed to serve customers and local realities. His antidote is explicit: spend the first ~90 days learning, not executing change. In Japan specifically, he adds two important nuances: (1) communication tends to be high-context—direct bluntness that feels "normal" in Australia/UK can land badly in Japan, and (2) trust is tightly linked to process—nemawashi and broad involvement matter, even if it slows decisions compared to London-style speed. On culture, Torrens frames "Grant culture" as mostly aligned with Hays culture after 20 years inside the firm—but he still sees leadership latitude inside the umbrellas of global standards and Japanese expectations. His chosen lever is change: he wants a culture where change is less feared and more celebrated. That includes giving people "permission" to try, treating mistakes as learning data (especially early), avoiding public blame, and celebrating wins so innovation feels worth the effort. He also highlights the practical friction of language and meaning: even company values can translate oddly, so global messaging must be adapted carefully to remain faithful—especially as Hays Japan expands its Nikkei-facing business and hires more Japanese-only speakers.  Q&A Summary Why did you choose recruitment—and how did Japan happen? Recruitment wasn't the plan; it was an opportunity in London when he was unemployed and out of options. Japan was always in the background (he studied Japanese), but Singapore became the stepping stone because it was an easy transition into Asia—English-speaking, same company, and the financial services sector was transferable.  How did you lead Japan while stuck in Singapore during COVID? Two pillars: a supportive Asia boss and a strong Japan management team. Personally, he built better reporting/insight systems—turning "raw data" into actionable information—so he could manage outcomes without relying on physical visibility.  How do you build trust in Japan? He treats trust as universal but harder-won in Japan if you ignore high-context communication and consensus processes. Practically: reciprocate trust, be fair, do what you say you'll do, and follow verbal messages with written confirmation to reduce misunderstanding—especially across language boundaries.  How do you get bottom-up ideas in a high-context culture? He uses second-level (and broader) conversations—while explicitly asking permission and explaining intent so it doesn't feel like bypassing managers. The goal is pattern recognition: common themes that reveal what the organization should improve, not "who said what about whom."  What advice would you give a leader moving to Japan? Do it (don't overthink yourself into regret). Then: listen before acting (including to customers), communicate with extra clarity (avoid slang/idioms), and intentionally build a culture where change is normal and safe—because the organization will look different in 3–10 years no matter what.  Author Credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

The foundation of property ownership in British Columbia faces a potential earthquake with the landmark Cowichan Tribes decision. After what may be Canada's longest trial—spanning over 500 days—the judge delivered an 800-page ruling that could fundamentally alter who truly owns land throughout the province.Michael Mulligan breaks down this complex legal battle by explaining the collision between two powerful forces: BC's Torrens property system and Aboriginal title claims under Section 35 of the Constitution. The Torrens system provides what legal experts call "indefeasible title"—conclusive proof of ownership registered with the government that enables secure property transactions and mortgage lending. But the judge has ruled that Aboriginal title is "a prior and senior right to land" that can exist simultaneously with registered property ownership, potentially superseding private property rights despite the Torrens system's guarantees.The implications are profound. If Aboriginal title claims—which cover virtually the entire province, often with overlapping claims from multiple Indigenous groups—can override registered property ownership, what happens to homeowners who've worked their entire lives to pay for their properties? The economic consequences could be equally severe, as mortgage lending depends on the certainty of ownership. As Mulligan observes, the legal system ultimately depends on public acceptance: "If I tell you that the house you worked for and paid for is no longer yours, I don't know that that's generally going to be accepted." With BC already announcing its intention to appeal, this case will likely progress through higher courts, where judges must balance constitutional obligations to Indigenous peoples with maintaining a functional property system. Listen now to understand what's at stake for every property owner in British Columbia.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discsused. 

After a gritty win, David Peterson reflected on his mechanical adjustments and building rhythm after a shaky start. Ryne Stanek discussed stepping in to close the ninth after Edwin Díaz exited early, emphasizing the mental focus needed in high-pressure situations. Pete Alonso explained how his hand injury developed and shared optimism about returning to the lineup. Luis Torrens talked about his big at-bat, steady defense, and mound visit to help Díaz reset. Juan Soto broke down the execution of a perfectly timed contact play and detailed his mindset on the basepaths. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Mets catcher talks with Keith & Pat after New York's 5-1 win over the Boston Red Sox to avoid a three-game sweep.

Tonight we talk with Oklahoma Gymnastics Commit Kendall Torrens. Kendall talks to us about the gymnastics talent in the Dallas area, why she chose Oklahoma, and we end the episode with a crazy game of Blind Rankings.

On today's Leadoff Spot, Pat McCarthy spoke with former Yankee Luis Torrens as he reflected on the magnitude of the Subway Series for not just the fans, but for himself and the players.

Hour 1 The Knicks lost big at home Saturday, despite being up 2-1 in the series where they've rarely led. Boomer blamed nerves and Robinson's poor free throws. Jerry's first update included postgame sound from the Knicks' MSG loss. The Pacers are up 3-1 on the Cavs. OKC beat Denver in a low-scoring game. The Yankees beat the A's with Ben Rice's grand slam. Lindor homered in the Mets' win over the Cubs. Torrens got hit in the groin despite a cup. Dart asked reporters to introduce themselves at his press conference. The hour ended with Knicks calls; Boomer thinks opponents enjoy playing at MSG. A caller said Jerry wore a Porzingis jersey when filling in. Hour 2 Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, placed 3rd in Miss Maine; Belichick sat with her father, who is younger than him. UNC denied banning her from their football facility. A caller complained about excessive NBA 3-pointers. Jerry's update included bringing a Porzingis jersey to tease Boomer. The Pacers are up 3-1 against the injured Mitchell and the Cavs. Nimmo homered as the Mets beat the Cubs with a 4-run eighth. Baty hit two homers Saturday. Rice's grand slam helped the Yankees beat the A's; Judge noted many Yankees fans in Sacramento. On Mother's Day, Jung homered with his mom watching his brother on the other team. The hour ended with a clip of Schoen confirming his draft pick to Daboll and discussion about the Giants' reportedly difficult interview with Shedeur Sanders. Hour 3 We covered the Knicks-Celtics series and the Mets and Yankees both winning their weekend series. Judge is still playing exceptionally well. Boomer wants Anunoby to shoot more for the Knicks.

The hour concluded with Boomer's participation in Burrow's golf tournament, which Burrow missed due to illness. Hour 4 Tonight's Knicks game is crucial; a loss suggests the series is over, while a win to go up 3-1 makes a comeback unlikely. Boomer questions why Knicks fans face constant tension. Towns might have a broken finger, stating, "it is what it is." Gio thinks Boomer is too pessimistic about tonight's game. There are rumors about Woody Allen being banned from MSG. They discussed the "curse of Fat Joe," with Boomer planning to freeze the Porzingis jersey to counter it.

The Moment of the Day highlighted the Rangers' freezer jersey strategy failing. The show ended with Boomer's disbelief at Sims' early time off.

Mets Catcher Luis Torrens has filled in admirably for the injured Francisco Alvarez and he sat down with Pat McCarthy to discuss the process of making in-game adjustments and how his offseason preparation has helped him contribute consistently to this point in the season.

Zach, Jack, and Andrew discuss the Mets start to the season, bullpen excellence, offense and pitching yin and yang, impressive starting pitching, the Siri/Taylor platoon, Vientos and his slow start, the implication of Jeff McNeil's return, Brett Baty's future, playing time for Torrens, and a mysterious figure in the Mets dugout.

In this tremendous first show of the 2025 baseball season, Kelley Franco covers all the hot MLB news in about 20 minutes. We talk about the Mets, and how Alonso is reminding fans who he is. We also talk Baty and Vientos, and how guys like Torrens are making a difference. We talk Yankees and their home run barrage, who is stepping up, and whether Volpe is turning into a slugger. We cover the Torpedo bats and more – and what could be the next frontier in bat design - has AI come to MLB? Then we will tour MLB so you know what's happening around the league, including the powerful NL West, the flurry of extensions happening all over baseball, and if you are a panicker, we'll tell you which teams are worth panicking over. Then we talk about the GQ spread for baseball's most famous – and young – power couple. And of course…what's good to eat while watching the ballgame.*Music by Podington Bear

It was an ugly, UGLY game, but the Mets snuck out of South Florida with a win. The box score won't look good in most cases, but a win is a win. Pete Alonso continues his clutch start, with his game-tying 3-run homer. Torrens pinch hits late and provides TWO game-saving plays on defense. With that, the Mets are a dead even 3-3, as they head back to New York for the home opener on Friday! #LGM #Mets

Comenzamos un nuevo año y muchos lo hacen con buenos propósitos como apuntarse al gimnasio, dejar de fumar, aprender un idioma o cambiar de trabajo. Comienza un nuevo capítulo en nuestro libro vital con nuevas oportunidades y con la esperanza de que se cierre mejor que el acabamos concluir. Pero, en muchas ocasiones, esos buenos deseos caen al poco tiempo en saco roto. Para conocer su explicación desde el punto de vista científico, en "Más cerca" (Radio 5) hemos hablado con David Bueno i Torrens, genetista especializado en Neurociencia y Educación y profesor en la Universidad de Barcelona.
