A former touring musician and lifelong bartender turned brand director and bar owner, Sean Goodchild joins the show to talk beer, bands, and bringing a century-old Kitchener landmark back to life.* In this episode of The Industry Podcast, we sit down with Sean Goodchild, co-owner and program director of The Boathouse DTK in Victoria Park, and director of brand development for Farm League Brewing in Galt. Sean traces his path from bartending and touring in a band across 15 years in London, Ontario, to a graphic design role at Waterloo Brewing. in 2020, a partnership manager position through the Carlsberg acquisition, and eventually a jump to Farm League — the "blue collar craft" brewery known for collaborations with acts like Greta Van Fleet and Mount Joy, and for running the Meadows and Fest2Fall music festivals. The conversation digs into the two-year process of transforming The Boathouse — a heritage-designated building on city-owned land dating back to 1896 — into a modern bar and venue, including how the ownership group became the first in the city to win unanimous Heritage Committee approval to expand the patio. Sean and the guys also get into the state of the live music industry post-pandemic, why charging a cover matters for musicians and venues alike, and why supporting independent bars and restaurants is more important than ever. - The sales lessons Sean picked up moving from bartending into corporate sales at Waterloo Brewing - What changes when a craft brewery gets bought by an international giant like Carlsberg - Why a good lager is harder to brew than a hoppy IPA - Building The Boathouse ownership group and navigating city bureaucracy on a heritage property - Balancing a touring musician's life with running two hospitality businesses - The economics of live music venues and why cover charges protect musicians - Why the pandemic permanently changed drinking and spending habits Connect with Sean Goodchild - The Boathouse DTK boathousedtk.com @boathousedtk - Farm League Brewing farmleaguebrewing.com @farmleaguebrewing - Meadows Music Festival meadowsfest.ca @meadowsfergus - Fest2Fall Music Festival fest2fall.com @fest2fall A big thank you to Jean-Marc Dykes of Imbiblia.

If you could create your own festival from scratch, who would be on the lineup?In this episode, we put the question to the group with a festival fantasy draft. Everyone has to build their ideal festival, choosing the name, location, vibe and opening act:What actually makes a festival unforgettable?It's not just about booking the biggest names. The right festival needs a clear identity, a location that fits the mood and a lineup that takes people somewhere.In This Episode- Why a festival needs more than a collection of popular artists.- How the location can shape the entire experience.- The importance of choosing the right opening act.- Whether artistic credibility matters more than commercial appeal.- How to balance nostalgia, energy and discovery across a lineup.- The difference between a festival that looks good on paper and one people would actually want to attend.The Drafted Festivals *SPOILER ALERT*"Soul Frequencies" by Alexander T An immersive hip-hop festival at Victoria Park in London. The idea is to celebrate artistry over hype, with Denzel Curry chosen as the opening act. His energy, stage presence and creative approach make him the perfect artist to set the tone and immediately let the crowd know this is not just another mainstream festival lineup."Luxury Flows Fest" by Sam The setting is deliberately grand (Blenheim Palace), matching the festival's luxury rap aesthetic. All about laid-back confidence, positivity and smooth energy needed to get the day started properly."Diamond in the Rough" by NeilIt's a choice built around pure performance energy. The Big QuestionThe draft highlights one of the biggest challenges in festival curation: how do you create a lineup that is commercially appealing without losing its personality?The biggest artists might sell tickets, but the most memorable festivals usually have something more. They have a point of view. They create a specific atmosphere, give people something to discover and make the lineup feel like a journey rather than a random list of names.The opener gets the crowd moving. The middle of the day builds the atmosphere. The headliner delivers the payoff.At least, that's the theory.Who would headline your perfect festival? Where would you host it, and which artist would get the difficult job of opening the day?

Join the Facebook Group and join the conversation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/weirdtruecrimeIn 1954, two teenage best friends in Christchurch, New Zealand, Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme, murdered Pauline's mother, Honora Parker, in Victoria Park, staging her death to look like an accident. The girls, whose intense and consuming friendship had alarmed both of their families, killed Honora after learning she opposed their plan to stay together once Juliet's family moved to South Africa. Both girls were convicted and served about five years in prison before being released under new identities. Juliet Hulme went on to become a bestselling mystery novelist under the name Anne Perry. Pauline Parker became a recluse who ran a small riding school in England. Their story later inspired the 1994 Peter Jackson film Heavenly Creatures, starring Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey.Links & SourcesChristchurch City Libraries, Parker Hulme Heritage Digitised Collection, Page 23: https://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/Digitised/ParkerHulme/Page23.aspNZ History, Pauline Parker: https://nzhistory.govt.nz/people/pauline-parkerIMDb, Heavenly Creatures trivia: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110005/Murderpedia, Juliet Hulme trial reports: https://murderpedia.org/female.H/images/hulme-juliet/juliet-hulme-trial-reports.pdfChristchurch City Libraries, Parker Hulme Heritage Digitised Collection, Page 24: https://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/Digitised/ParkerHulme/Page24.aspChristchurch City Libraries, Parker Hulme Heritage Digitised Collection, Page 28: https://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/Digitised/ParkerHulme/Page28.aspChristchurch City Libraries, Parker Hulme Heritage Digitised Collection, Page 27: https://christchurchcitylibraries.com/Heritage/Digitised/ParkerHulme/Page27.aspNZ Herald, 'We were not lesbians,' says former Juliet Hulme: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/we-were-not-lesbians-says-former-juliet-hulme/V4WK54EI7YUVO6UMNKPOE7NRG4/Domus Aurea (archived), Hilary Nathan profile: https://web.archive.org/web/20060721114131/http://www.domusaurea.org/borovnia/hilary.htmlAnne Perry official site (archived): https://web.archive.org/web/20071019040936/http://www.anneperry.net/3.htmlArchives NZ via Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/archivesnz/14377739776/Archives NZ via Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/archivesnz/9096583535Archives NZ via Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/archivesnz/9721709104Find a Grave, Honorah Mary Parker: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/16907470/honorah-mary-parkerWeird True Crime is an independent true crime podcast.

While Jason Matthews on 4BC Breakfast enthusiastically backs the proposed Victoria Park transformation - praising its potential to deliver a South Bank-style legacy with a 63,000-seat stadium and expanded green space - he warned that glossy artist renderings are masking critical missing details. Without transparent budget totals, concrete construction timelines, or a clear transport plan for massive crowds, Queenslanders risk handing the government a blank check for an unmanageable traffic nightmare.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this monthly episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas returns with his August edition of What's On in London — and this one comes with a personal twist, because Jonathan will be in London himself later in the month. August is London's most contradictory month: the busiest tourist season of the year, a million-plus visitors, packed attractions and carnival streets — and yet simultaneously the month when Londoners themselves flee to Cornwall and France, leaving whole districts strangely quiet. Jonathan covers it all: the Notting Hill Carnival (August 30–31, its 60th anniversary this year, Europe's largest street festival, free entry); the major royal and historic building openings including Buckingham Palace State Rooms, Houses of Parliament summer tours, and the freshly restored Banqueting House reopening August 1st; London's brand new museum, Trent Park House of Secrets — just opened July 21st, telling the extraordinary wartime spy story that was kept under the Official Secrets Act for over 50 years; new West End openings including Jane Eyre the Musical and Kimberly Akimbo; the blockbuster exhibitions still running and closing this month; live music at Victoria Park and Wembley; family-friendly highlights; the VAT tourist discount reducing admission prices across major attractions this summer; and Jonathan's own personal list of what he's booked and planning to see — including the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace's East Wing tour, the Wallace Collection's Churchill as Painter exhibition, and Trent Park.

The Saturday Steel Band Competition (August 29) requires a ticket; Sunday Children's Day and Monday main parade are free. Arrive early, follow your nose to the food stalls, and keep your wits about you in the crowds. Trent Park House of Secrets — London's brand new museum, opened July 21st — tells the extraordinary story of the WWII intelligence operation where 59 captured German generals were housed in apparent luxury, never knowing the entire house was bugged. Often called "the other Bletchley Park." Tickets are £14 (~$20), open Tuesday–Sunday, and it's on the Piccadilly Line at Oakwood station. Jonathan is going. Buckingham Palace State Rooms are open daily through August 31, 9:30am to 7:30pm — the longest opening hours of the season. Jonathan has booked both the State Rooms tour and the newly opened East Wing tour. If you haven't booked yet, check for remaining availability immediately; the best slots are gone but cancellations do appear. Banqueting House on Whitehall — Inigo Jones's 1622 masterpiece with its Rubens ceiling, the building outside which Charles I was executed — reopens fully on August 1st after a major restoration. Adults £10, under 16s free, open Thursday–Monday. New lift for step-free access. One of London's most underrated experiences. The Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London — the world's oldest unbroken military ceremony, performed every night for at least 700 years — releases the next month's tickets on the first working day of each month. The next release is August 3rd at 1pm. Jonathan got a ticket; it requires an early wake-up and sells out within hours of release. The UK government has instituted a 15% VAT discount on tourist attraction admissions this summer — which means lower prices at major London attractions. If you booked in advance, you may be entitled to a partial refund for the difference; check with each venue. Lower prices also means slightly larger crowds. The Greenwich + Docklands International Festival runs August 21 to September 6 — 17 days of completely free outdoor theatre, circus and dance across Greenwich Park, Woolwich, and the Docklands. The two-day Greenwich Fair on August 22–23 in Greenwich Park is the unmissable centerpiece. No ticket required — just show up. Several major exhibitions close on or around August 23rd — a critical date. Zurbarán at the National Gallery, Fairy Tales at the British Library, David Hockney at the Royal Academy, Hervien Anderson at Tate Britain, and Patrick Caulfield at the Royal Academy all close that day. If you're arriving after August 23rd, these are gone. The BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall run all month and into September — the world's largest classical music festival, with day-of standing tickets potentially available on the door. Jonathan hasn't managed to go yet and still wants to. It's worth trying even if you can't book ahead. August in London is genuinely two cities at once: over a million tourists fill the attractions and the carnival streets, while large swaths of residential London go quiet as locals escape. The wise visitor uses this: the tourist attractions are busy, but the parks, the residential neighborhoods, and the early mornings are surprisingly peaceful. Soundbites "August is London's most contradictory month. Every guidebook tells you it's peak season — and every guidebook is right. And yet at exactly the same time, London kind of empties out. Locals flee to Cornwall, to France, to anywhere that isn't a stuffy office in a heat wave. Whole districts can go completely quiet." — Jonathan on August's strange duality. "The Notting Hill Carnival is that one weekend where London's multicultural and diverse character — which can feel oddly invisible at other times of the year — is front and center. It's loud. It's joyful. And it's entirely free." — Jonathan on why the carnival matters. "They captured high-level German officers and put them all in one place. What the prisoners didn't know was that the entire house was wired with microphones. And hidden in a concealed basement, around a hundred secret listeners — many of them German-speaking Jewish refugees who had fled the Nazis — were recording and transcribing every careless word." — Jonathan on Trent Park House of Secrets. "I have wanted to go inside Buckingham Palace for twenty years. I'm finally doing it this year. I've got my tickets booked. I'm going to do the State Room tour, I'm going to see the freshly rehung picture gallery, and I've booked the East Wing tour. That is going to take a whole Saturday. I cannot wait." — Jonathan on his long-awaited Buckingham Palace visit. "The Ceremony of the Keys is considered the world's longest military ceremony. They say it's been running for a thousand years — I'm skeptical, but at least as long as there's been a Tower of London. I woke up early and managed to snag a ticket before they sold out. Because they do sell out immediately." — Jonathan on booking the Ceremony of the Keys. "Banqueting House. Inigo Jones's masterpiece on Whitehall, with its Rubens ceiling. The one surviving fragment of the old Palace of Whitehall — the very spot where Charles I was executed in 1649. It reopens for the summer on August 1st. That is a lot of history in one place." — Jonathan on Banqueting House reopening. "The government has instituted a fifteen percent discount off the twenty percent VAT for tourists visiting tourist attractions this summer. So this month you will see lower prices at all of London's major tourist attractions. And if you booked in advance, you should be getting a refund." — Jonathan on the summer VAT tourist discount. "I love Star Trek. I have seen every episode of Star Trek dozens of times. You can't see over there, but I'm building the LEGO Enterprise D model right now. And I'm going to go see this exhibition because it's the 60th anniversary and the producers don't seem to want to celebrate it much — but everybody else is." — Jonathan on his plan to visit the Star Trek at 60 Trail at the Science Museum. "Several things close on August 23rd. I'm arriving after August 23rd. So I'm going to miss the David Hockney, the Zurbarán, the Tracey Emin. It's a bit annoying. But it is what it is." — Jonathan on the painful August 23rd exhibition closing cliff. "If you see a slightly sun-birthed Anglophile wandering the food stalls at one of the festivals going on later in August — do say hello. It might just be me." — Jonathan's closing invitation.

Host Trent Fleskens welcomes Derek Baston of Baston & Co to discuss Victoria Park, East Victoria Park and nearby St James/Bentley, focusing on Albany Highway's lifestyle appeal and how the market has evolved since COVID. Derek explains key drivers by area, including Vic Park Primary School, Raphael Park, dog-friendly Harold Rossiter Park, and the growing food and brewery scene, plus major activation projects like Bailey Hill and the Boston Brewing precinct. They cover gentrification, the shift from state housing weatherboard cottages to prized character homes (influenced by a streetscape policy), and changing buyer profiles including downsizers from South Perth/Como and intergenerational support. Current medians are about $1.165m in Vic Park and $1.2m in East Vic Park, with East Vic Park's larger blocks lifting its median, while development has slowed due to feasibility. Derek expects the median to track sideways as the market differentiates more between premium and inferior stock.

This week Brian and Harrison skip the entrée and go straight to the main… Collingwood fan favourite, Dennis Banks, and with Dennis and BT having played together at the Collingwood Football Club during the 1980s, you'd wonder whether this was setup as an interview or an excuse to catch up. The boys wind back the clock to their playing days at Victoria Park, sharing stories from an era when footy was a little rougher, a little looser, and packed with larger-than-life characters. From life inside the Collingwood Football Club to the friendships that have lasted decades, Dennis reflects on the moments and people that shaped his career. As one of the Magpies' most popular figures, Dennis also talks about what made Collingwood such a unique club and the passion of its supporters. Of course, BT can't help but revisit a few old stories, with Dennis more than happy to remind him that memory can be a selective thing. The result is plenty of laughs, some classic footy yarns, and the kind of easy banter that only comes from a friendship that's stood the test of time.

Good Lord. Parliamentarians are actually doing something we've asked for. They've come up with an Infrastructure Plan for the next 30 years and more remarkably, it has rare cross party backing. It was produced independently by the Infrastructure Commission. Labour and the Greens have called it a long-term, non-partisan blueprint for fixing decades of inconsistent infrastructure decisions. Here's our problem: New Zealand spends heavily on infrastructure but ranks poorly on efficiency and asset management. Minister Chris Bishop says the Government is already acting on all ten priority areas, including reviewing transport funding, legislating long-term investment plans, improving national infrastructure data, and strengthening public-sector project leadership. Further work is needed on predictable funding signals, multi-year budgeting, and coordinated workforce planning, with Treasury and MBIE to report back in 2027. But finally, we are attacking the stop start nature of developing this country and that will make it quicker, more efficient and most importantly cheaper. And finally, the so called grownups in charge of the country are being grown up and ditching infrastructure as a way to define themselves politically. I had a mate who was a tunneller who did the Victoria Park tunnel. Then he left New Zealand until the Waterview tunnel started and then he left New Zealand again. And I remember at a barbecue him saying that if we just got all our tunnelling projects sorted and, in a row, so the experience could move from one job to the next than the country would save billions. Every project carries the coast of start-up operations. and it's holding us back.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Calgary mayor Jeromy Farkas wants a police station downtown, citing concerns around public safety, and an absence of adequate public policing in the core. But it was less than nine years ago that the Calgary Police Service closed its downtown location: the Victoria Park police station on 11th Avenue Southeast. What happened? This week, Loren gets into some of the history with Evan Woolley, who was the city councillor for Ward 8 when Calgary's downtown police station closed in late 2017.

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.

ences have officially gone up at Victoria Park to mark the beginning of early site-clearing and earthworks for Brisbane's 2032 Olympic stadium.

Canada Celebrates the FIFA World Cup is a tour that will arrive in London on July 4. Events will take place at Victoria Park and will include a viewing of a Round of 16 match. Zanth Jarvis of Tourism London joined Mike Stubbs to provide more details.

London in the mid-seventies was not a comfortable place to be young. Unemployment was climbing, the National Front was gaining ground on the streets, and the music coming out of the mainstream had nothing to say about any of it. Punk arrived as a reaction, detonated largely by the Sex Pistols, but if the Pistols were the bomb, The Clash were the politics that followed. Joe Strummer, born John Graham Mellor, had been fronting a pub rock outfit called the 101ers when he saw the Sex Pistols play in the spring of 1976 and understood immediately that everything had to change. He quit within days and joined guitarist Mick Jones and bassist Paul Simonon, who had been playing together in a pre-punk group called London SS. Simonon came up with the name after noticing it appearing constantly in British newspaper headlines: race clashes, class clashes, political clashes. It fit perfectly. With drummer Terry Chimes completing the lineup, they played their first show on 4 July 1976, supporting the Sex Pistols in Sheffield, having rehearsed for less than a month. The Clash signed to CBS Records in January 1977 for a reported £100,000 and immediately had to defend the deal against accusations of selling out. Their answer was their self-titled debut album, recorded in three weekends for roughly £4,000 and released in April 1977. It was raw, fast, and direct in a way the music press had rarely encountered: thirty-five minutes of songs about unemployment, police harassment, boredom, and the grinding weight of class. ‘Career Opportunities', ‘White Riot', and ‘Janie Jones' announced a band writing from lived experience rather than spectacle. Critically, the album also included a cover of Junior Murvin's reggae track ‘Police and Thieves', signalling from the outset that The Clash were listening beyond punk, that their cultural reference points stretched into the Jamaican community in London, a community living under the same conditions of poverty and institutional racism that Strummer was putting into lyrics. CBS's American division refused to release the album, deeming it too raw for US radio. In the UK it reached number twelve and announced the band as something serious and lasting. Their second album, Give ‘Em Enough Rope, released in 1978 with American producer Sandy Pearlman at CBS's insistence, had a bigger, more polished sound that sat uneasily with the band's instincts. It sold well but felt constrained. What mattered more that year was where The Clash were placing themselves politically. They headlined the Rock Against Racism concert in Victoria Park in east London in April 1978, drawing a crowd of over 80,000 people at a time when far-right parties were actively recruiting in British cities. They had also recorded the furious single ‘Complete Control' in 1977 with Lee ‘Scratch' Perry producing, a direct response to CBS releasing a track without the band's approval, and a signal of how seriously they took the connection between Jamaican music and the political fire in their own work. The band insisted their records be priced accessibly, refused to charge inflated ticket prices, and were chronically in debt to their label as a result. For The Clash, the politics were never separate from the music. They were the same thing. The impact The Clash left behind is difficult to overstate. Chuck D has credited them as the direct template for Public Enemy's approach to socially conscious lyrics and their relationship with the press. Tom Morello, who inducted the band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003, built the entire philosophy of Rage Against the Machine on the question The Clash asked first: what happens when you put radical politics inside music with real rhythmic weight and make people want to move to it? Their influence runs through Massive Attack, U2, the Beastie Boys, and virtually every artist who has ever believed that bass and conviction belong in the same room. Joe Strummer died on 22 December 2002, one month before that Hall of Fame induction, at the age of fifty. The music has not stopped mattering since. This mix pulls from the early years, the fury of the debut, the political fire of the singles, and the moment a band from west London decided that punk was only the beginning. Turn it up.

The engine is warm, the cobwebs are gone, and now the real grind begins—welcome to Round 1 of the 2026 AFL Season! The Kick to Kick Podcast is back for the main event. After a high-octane Opening Round, we're settling into the rhythm of the season by doing what we do best: honoring the future by obsessing over the past. This week, we travel back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries to see how these legendary rivalries first sparked to life. This week, we're breaking down: Carlton vs. Richmond: We look back at the origins of the "Traditional" season opener. Before it was a Thursday night blockbuster, it was a battle for inner-city bragging rights. We retrace their first official VFL encounter in Round 1, 1908, where the Tigers made their league debut against the reigning premier Blues. Essendon vs. Hawthorn: A rivalry built on "Line in the Sand" moments. We head back to Round 4, 1925, the first time the Mayblooms (as they were then known) met the powerhouse Mosquitto Fleet, long before the blood-and-thunder of the 80s took over. Collingwood vs. Adelaide Crows: A modern classic with a relatively short history. We revisit Round 15, 1991, when the new kids from South Australia first stepped onto Victoria Park to face the reigning premiers in a true culture shock. Melbourne vs. St Kilda: Two of the oldest clubs in the land. We go all the way back to Round 1, 1897—the very first weekend of VFL football—to see how the Dees and Saints started a century-plus of competition. Gold Coast Suns vs. West Coast Eagles: From the expansion era to now. We look back at Round 11, 2011, their inaugural clash at Subiaco, and how the pecking order has shifted in the 15 years since.

Police say any protestors attemping to cross Auckland Harbour Bridge tomorrow will be stopped, but they are warning motorists of potential delays. NZTA has declined an application by the Freedom and Rights Coalition to walk the bridge - the group is an off shoot of Brian Tamaki's Destiny Church. But Brian Tamaki is still encouraging people to gather at Victoria Park, which is a short distance from the motorway on-ramp. Waitemata District Commander, Superintendent Naila Hassan spoke to Lisa Owen.

Brian Tamaki says he is still planning to protest by walking across Auckland's harbour Bridge tomorrow despite a police promise to stop it. He's urging crowds to meet him at Victoria Park in the central city tomorrow for a protest in opposition to the COVID-19 restrictions. Police Superintendent Naila Hassan told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the police are unsure if the march will actually go ahead, but that doesn't mean they are unprepared. "We'd prefer to keep the operational details close to our chest, but we will be ready to respond to that group if they decide to march onto the harbour bridge."

The most valuable commodity is information. Flera stora insiderskandaler har avslöjats på kort tid. I veckan har rättegången startat mot en tidigare anställd på Stockholmsbörsen. Även SEB:s hantering av miljardaffärer i EQT är under lupp. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Nasdaq-fallet i Stockholms tingsrätt“Vid flera tillfällen var stämningen irriterad”, säger Ekonomiekots Philip Ramqvist, som var på plats när rättegången startade i veckan. Fallet är extra känsligt eftersom den huvudåtalade själv har jobbat med att upptäcka och stoppa insiderbrott på börsen. “Det blir som när en polis begår ett brott”, säger Sverre Linton, chefsjurist på Aktiespararna. ”För Nasdaq innebär det enorm förtroendekris”, säger Sverre Linton, som varnar för att allmänheten får en bild av att börsen är “en girig marknad, som bara är ute efter att sko sig själv”.Långt från den enda stora skandalenFingerprint cards, Victoria Park, ICA, Tethys oil och Fortnox – det är bara några av de andra stora fall som uppmärksammats de senaste åren. I vissa av dem har höga chefer misstänkts vara inblandade. “Det senaste decenniet har det varit ett antal rättsprocesser mot kända företagsledare”, konstaterar Knut Kainz Rognerud, ekonomikommentator på Ekot.”Spelplanen blir ojämn”Experterna är ense om att brotten skadar förtroendet för att handeln på börsen sköts på rätt sätt och att den är rättvis. Men inte nog med det. “Insiderbrott riskerar att skada förtroendet för hela samhällsekonomin”, säger åklagare Jonas Myrdal.”Statistiken är tydlig”År 2002 anmäldes 7 misstänkta insiderbrott, enligt Brottsförebyggande rådet. Nu är anmälningarna betydligt fler. År 2020 kom det in knappt 350 anmälningar till Finansinspektionen. Förra året kom det in 475 stycken. Fram till sista september i år hade det kommit in drygt 351. ”The most valuable commodity is information”Det var först på 90-talet som det blev olagligt att handla på hemlig information. Innan dess var reglerna betydligt mer tillåtande. “Många blev rika på det vi idag kallar insiderinformation”, säger Knut Kainz Rognerud.Kryptomarknaden – en fristad för insiderhandlareMen delar av finansmarknaden är fortfarande oreglerad. För en vecka sedan var det någon som gjorde ett osedvanligt vältajmat val att blanka bitcoin strax innan Trump meddelade att han överväger nya tullar.

Although there wasn't a trace of racing in Clare Lindop's family background, the little girl from Warrnambool was hellbent on becoming a jockey from age 10. Her parents finally relented and  bought their youngest daughter a pony called Annie- the pony destined to teach her young companion the rudiments of riding. Whenever either of her parents could find the time to drive her to the St. Mary's Pony Farm at Wangoom, little Clare would spend every available minute putting Annie through her paces. From these unpretentious beginnings, Clare Lindop forged a career that would take her to racing's biggest stage. She quit the saddle in 2018 with 1432 winners on her CV, including 4 Gr 1's and another 50 stakes races. Now in a full time role with Racing South Australia, Clare takes time out to revisit her stellar career for our podcast regulars. She admits to the occasional nostalgic flutter when she watches Adelaide's feature races each year. Clare says she went to great pains to play her retirement down in 2018. She didn't want the fuss. She does admit that she gradually weaned herself off horses by riding trackwork for quite some time. Clare reaffirms that nobody in her family had the slightest connection to horses. Her parents were not overly impressed with her persistent pleas to invest in a pony, but finally relented.  The four time Gr 1 winning jockey looks back on her initial apprenticeship to Warrnambool trainer Frank Byrne. She recalls her first race ride at Warrnambool and her first winning ride at Dunkeld. Clare vividly recalls her first metropolitan win on Mondilibi at Moonee Valley. She talks about a transfer of her indentures to Jack Barling at Hamilton in 1997. The retired jockey looks back on her life changing relocation to Adelaide in 1999 and the beginning of a long time association with trainer Byron Cozamanis. Clare recalls the thrill of her first Adelaide metro win on Odysseus at Cheltenham. She remembers with affection her first metro win as a fully fledged jockey at the famous Victoria Park track. The horse was one of her all time favourites. Clare looks back on the occasion of her first Adelaide stakes win for great supporter Leon McDonald.   She looks back on an amazing sequence of wins- four timers at three consecutive race meetings. Clare remembers with great clarity the unforgettable experience of her first Melbourne Cup ride. The former top lightweight is proud of her three Adelaide jockeys premierships. She remembers her first Gr 1 win- an all the way victory in the 2006 Adelaide Cup.. Lindop takes us back to her second Melbourne Cup appearance in 2007. Not surprisingly Clare takes great pleasure in looking back on her association with outstanding 2YO filly Augusta Proud. She takes us back to her Magic Millions win in 2008. Now to the horse who took the talented rider to racing's biggest stage with a Victoria Derby win at odds of $101. She takes us through the Rebel Raider story. Like most Adelaide based jockeys Clare wanted to win a Goodwood Hcp. Her turn came in 2011 when Robert Smerdon chased her services for Lone Rock in the famous sprint. She got the job done. Clare managed to fit in two separate trips to the UK in 2009 and again in 2011. She looks back on a great experience and the four winners she landed on some famous tracks. She talks of the multiple injuries sustained in a fall at Morphettville in 2014. Clare looks back on a business meeting with leading jockey manager Damian Wilton who is now her husband of seven years. This is a reminiscent chat with one of Australia's most successful female jockeys.

On Saturday, roughly 20,000 marched in the pro-Palestine rally, the ‘March for Humanity,' with protesters walking from Aotea Square to Victoria Park in Auckland's CBD.  For our weekly catchup with the ACT Party's Simon Court, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to Simon about the rally and what protestors are calling on the government for, regarding their response to Israel's war on Gaza, as the death toll in Gaza reaches over 64,000, according to Gaza's Ministry of Health. As well as this, Regulations Minister and ACT Party Leader, David Seymour, has not ruled out changes to the labelling of alcohol, nicotine, and tobacco products. However, firstly, they discussed the ‘March for Humanity' rally.
