Podcasts about Woodend

It's fair to say Episode 017 of The Crafty Pint Podcast is a special one. After all, you can count the number of people who've achieved what this week's guests have achieved on one hand.It was all the way back in 1999 that Paul and Tash Holgate sold the first Holgate beers, long before “craft beer” was a term – it was “boutique beers” and “microbreweries” in those days – and a full decade before the industry's growth really started to go into overdrive. Little Creatures hadn't yet launched, and Mountain Goat were barely two years into their adventure down the road in Melbourne.Now, 25 years on, they occupy rarified territory: marking their quarter-century milestone while still independent, still running the business hands-on, still making plans for the years ahead, and all while producing some of the finest beers of their history to date.We joined Paul and Tash in the bar of the pub in Woodend that has acted as their home since they moved the brewery out of the family home in their first few years of operation.There, they reflected on the early years, when they were raising a very young family at a time when even getting their hands on things as straightforward and essential as ingredients and packaging was a tall order, and when most venues they approached dismissed their beer as homebrew.We hear their take on the rise of the craft beer industry, how they've navigated the changes as it evolved into something well beyond their expectations, the hurdles they've faced and successes they've enjoyed over the past quarter-century, and how they've gone about celebrating their 25 Years of Beers.You couldn't wish to spend time in the company of a more down-to-earth and genuine couple, or to meet two people still so clearly loving what they do, even in the face of the challenges that have arisen in recent years.The chat with Paul and Tash begins at 09:30Prior to that, Will and I discuss two fun stories we published this week: one on a mini-revival for beer in bottles – notably longnecks; the other looking at the reasons behind the rise of hops from New Zealand both here and globally in the past couple of years.We also touch on the news that Australia's first non-alc brewing company, the Indigenous-led Sobah Beverages, is looking to sell its brewery and taproom on the Gold Coast, and the impending opening of two regional breweries in Victoria: the all-new Bendigo Brewing and a new, larger site in Castlemaine for Shedshaker.Relevant links: Back On The Bottle: https://craftypint.com/news/3617/back-on-the-bottle Choice Az!

 This is a recording of a few moments from Christmas Day 2023 in Woodend, Victoria, Australia - about an hour north of Melbourne. I come here with my wife, Heather, and our children when we can save up enough to pay for the airfare, as it is a critical opportunity for my family to connect with their cousins, and particularly for my wife to see her niece and nephew, who she loves very deeply and for whom she tries to play a sort of maternal role - even though we live on the other side of the world.  FaceTime plays a huge role. In 2016 my wife's sister, Clare, died from cancer at the age of 40, she left behind her husband and two small children - who were 6 and 3 at the time. She had moved from the UK to Australia more than 10 years earlier, and the separation from her sister had been really hard on my wife even before the loss. Marc, my brother-in-law, has done an incredible job raising the kids on his own since then - I don't have many heroes, but he is one of them, and the kids are growing up into wonderful young people.  Marc had moved to the UK in the late 1990s with his older brother, Byron, and they had lived together in London, before his brother moved to Dorset, on the south coast of England, where he has lived ever since. Marc and Clare moved to Australia when Marc's mother was very ill. Byron had only been back to Australia for his mother's funeral and for Clare's funeral, and had not seen his sister, Megan, since Clare's funeral in 2016.  For Christmas this year Marc and his family hosted both of his siblings, me, Heather and the kids, and Megan's kids too (and some friends). He had managed to keep Byron's return to Australia a secret from Megan, and this recording captures the moment Byron came into the kitchen from the utility room as Megan's Xmas present. Megan's response is priceless (even if it was at such a spectacular volume that it created some momentary clipping on the recording).  While migration, separation and loss have been cruel to my family and to Marc's, most of the time we just get on with our otherwise very happy lives, and loving one another from across the world. The sheer joy of this moment was a delight, and to have captured it in this recording is wonderful.  Recorded in Woodend, Australia by Rob McNeil. Part of the Migration Sounds project, the world's first collection of the sounds of human migration.  For more information and to explore the project, see https://www.citiesandmemory.com/migration

 "Rob's story brought a slight tear to my eye at first read, and before even hearing the sound, I knew I was going to want to do minimal processing to the sound itself, as what it captures is really quite a beautiful story, although rooted in sadness, and certainly sees the family making some kind of progress after what has been some difficult years with the loss of a loved one and the separation, not to mention COVID being in the middle of all that. "The first section of the composition sees the sound of the original recording reversed, and drifting in and out, with a slightly deep and constant bass-line. To me this felt like I was capturing perhaps the sadder years, closer to the time of the death of Clare. The removal and addition of sound in and out, to me at least, represented their traveling back and forth to actually be together at xmas, but what must have been a slightly chaotic time.  "The second section, the music stops on cue of one of the family members saying "it's stopped". I then wanted some silence whilst there is the surprise entry of Byron, and then the expletive of his sister. I had to remove a part of the recording due to a clip, it was going to be left in, but the "OMG" and "WTF" didn't seem to both be required to represent her surprise. "From here, again being conscious of not removing the soul from this wonderful family moment, I just wanted to do a simple composition, that hopefully captures some sort of happiness being reached now that time has taken it's time somewhat. I felt the subtle pad and chord progression added this emotion well enough. I do hope that if Rob hears it, he feels what I've tried to do.. and I thank their entire family for contributing to the project, and do indeed wish them every bit of well as they move forward in life."

I don't love the idea, but I'm willing to accept it. That's how I'd describe my stance on paying a toll charge to use a piece of road. Just like when pay TV became a thing in New Zealand. I didn't like it, but I accepted it. So what's happened, is that NZTA and the Government have announced that they expect work on the new Belfast to Pegasus motorway - which includes the new Woodend Bypass road - to begin within three years. Which is music to the ears of people who drive in tha area on a regular basis. For me, I would say that I only go through Woodend when I'm heading away on holidays and coming back again. So, while I get the argument about how congested things are there, I'm generally in holiday mode when I travel through there. But, if you live in Woodend or use any bit of that road there day-in/day-out, I can see why you might be at your wits end. Not to mention the safety issues in that whole area. So, while it's not quite a new highway to Ashburton, the news that the Belfast to Pegasus motorway is happening is very positive. Not surprisingly, the Government is talking about using road tolls to help pay for this project and its other roads of significance. Transport Minister Simeon Brown says all options are on the table, including public/private partnerships. As for road tolls, he's got no idea at this stage how much we might be pinged for using these new roads. That will be influenced by what it ends up costing to build these roads. So mark the date - Monday the 8th of July - which will go down in history as the day the Government started its sell-job on more user-pays roading. But it doesn't need to worry about me. I'm already sold on the idea. Because we are dreaming if we think there is any other way of paying for new, decent roads in this country. As you the Government says, tolls will be charged on roads where there is a non-tolled alternative. So you won't be forced to pay. It will be your choice. If I'm honest, chances are I'll end up paying the road tolls not because I make some sort of proactive choice to. I'll probably use the new Belfast to Pegasus motorway and only remember the toll once I'm on it. But, even then, I won't get annoyed. Because I know that road tolls are the only way to go.

We kick off the show with some great news, Ox is back on radio involved with the SEN footy call. He's pumped, and Marko and Third Man are rapt for the big man. Ox discusses the new role, and how he's really happy to be back with SEN. He tells the story of how he worked for SEN for a long time, got fired, and is now back. He says that SEN saved his life, and explains why. He also talks about a journey of self-growth that he has been on to remove resentment, jealousy and hate, which he admits to suffering from when he was fired from SEN. and coming out the other side of that with a role at SEN, as he calls it, being back home. Ox talks about why he loves SEN - and it's all to do with the people.After pumping up the Ox's tyres (deservedly) Marko raises a first world problem that he needs some advice on. It's do to with his teenager daughter giving him attitude. We explore the issues and try to diagnose the underlying challenge. Not sure that it helped.Ox has a business idea that he wants to run to by the team, but before he can get to that, the hotline rings and it's Sam from Dingley in Melbourne who is calling to make a comment on a sporting hero who has let him down. This sporting hero may be a host on this very podcast. We then discover Mark Allen doesn't know who Jimmy Carr is. Which Ox is amazed by.Back to Ox's business idea. It's do with lost golf balls, and Mark loves the idea. We'll need to get the podcast patent department onto this one. Marko comes up with a name, Ox comes up with a slogan. Team effort.Marko has been made aware of something that has shocked him. To do with Ricky Ponting. Marko decides an investigation is required and it is named 'Operation Bourbon, Beefsteak and Toorak'.Ox raises weather reporters. He has a concern that they are dramatising the weather forecast more than is required - which then for some strange reason turns into a political conversation. Blame Ox.Feedback. Plenty of it, and there is a whack for one of the team, and it's a big one. And during feedback we find a resolution to the potato cake vs potato scallop debate with help from the family.Ox reveals that he is a big fan of Robert Irwin, Steve Irwins son, and reckons he is a future superstar.We're about to wrap up the show, when we get a message from Trout from Woodend who wants to have a chat about Ox's new gig at SEN, and he's got some advice for Marko on his content selection on the podcast.And as usual we wrap it up with the joke wheel - today it lands on the fish category.As always, we're here thanks to Paul & Kurt at the E&S Trading Clearance Centre in Clayton, Melbourne on Dandenong Road - right opposite Ikea. After an incredible deal on amazing gear? You won't believe the prices....absolute rippers! We'd love you to follow a Couple of Blokes, and get involved with the show on social media: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok. If you've got a comment or feedback, feel free to send a voicemail to Ox and Marko here. And don't forget to subscribe, rate and review the podcast wherever you listen! Hosted on Acast.

In this episode I speak with Ben Scott from Ben Scott Garden Design, a Landscape design company based in Melbourne.Ben is one of my favourite designers and has a pretty cool story about how he started in the industry, working for Julian McCarthy Landscapes and working on Paul Bangay's garden at Woodend, before eventually working for Paul in design.Ben also talks about how he uses photoshop in his design presentations rather than 3D, and also speaks of the importance of communicating with those building and maintaining the gardens he designs so that they achieve what he creates.You can follow Ben on Instagram @benscott_designYou can follow along with the projects we're currently working on via our Instagram page@instyle_gardens@thelandscapingpodcastYou can view each episode on our YouTube channel

Canterbury councils want to spend about $10 billion on transport upgrades and maintenance over the next decade. The region's mayors have agreed on a wish list, called the draft Regional Land Transport Plan, and will seek local feedback from early next year. Among the most important projects are a second bridge over the Ashburton River, to keep traffic moving when the river is in flood, and a bypass around Woodend, north of Christchurch. Canterbury Regional Transport Committee chair Peter Scott spoke to Corin Dann.

If you're driving on State Highway One south of Christchurch anytime soon, be aware that it's as good as it's going to get.  I remember someone telling me once that they were driving that piece of road with a person visiting from overseas who asked my friend why they weren't taking the main highway. And my friend had to say that they were actually on the main highway.   I also remember last election and then-National Party leader Todd Muller announcing that, if he led the next Government, a new highway between Christchurch and Ashburton would be a goer.  We know how things went for Todd Muller shortly after that. National didn't get into Government. And the idea of a new highway went nowhere.  So here we are three years later,  in another election year and National seems to have lost its enthusiasm for a new four-lane highway connecting Christchurch and Ashburton.  It's released its new transport policy and it seems to have plenty of new roads planned for up north. The only thing it's talking about in Canterbury is a by-pass for Woodend, which its local MP Matt Doocey has been championing for years. It's making noises too about building a new bridge across the Ashburton River.  Which no-one could argue isn't desperately needed. We saw again the other weekend, didn't we, how much of a weak link that bridge is. With it being closed overnight after that big storm caused a whole lot of debris to gather near the bridge and so they closed it as a precaution.  I was travelling back from Dunedin and got through just in time. And I don't know whether it was just the amount of rain or the fact that we have such a second-rate road on that stretch of State Highway One - but I thought the road itself needed to be closed too after going through all the surface flooding.  Either way, I think the way that road has been neglected - or the way we have been neglected by all political parties when it comes to that road - is appalling.  Because, if National thought it needed sorting three years ago, the need will only be greater now with 36 more months of cars and trucks and buses pounding it every day.  But it hasn't made the cut. Not with National, anyway. And I don't think we should be holding our breath for Labour to come up with anything better.  Because it's had nearly six years to do something. And it hasn't. So are we just imagining how bad it actually is? And are we in la-la land thinking that a new highway is way overdue?  I don't think I am imagining how bad it is. And I don't think I am in la-la-land thinking something has to be done about it.  Part of the problem is the way some drivers use that bit of road. You know the ones I'm talking about. Despite the number of passing lanes, you still get the ones who can't possibly wait and swing out into the opposite lane whenever they want to. It's never a need. It's always a want.  The fact that there are so many passing lanes says a lot about the suitability of that road for the number of vehicles that are used on it. I reckon anyway.  And then, if something happens, the hold-ups can be quite staggering. I remember one day last year we were heading south and traffic was at a complete standstill. For kilometres. I actually had never seen State Highway One at a standstill like that for so long.  Eventually, we got moving and saw that it was because a crash had involved a power pole and the crews were there sorting it out. So the crash, itself, had been cleared away. But getting the power pole sorted out meant traffic going nowhere. Because you've only got two lanes to play with - so not much wiggle room.  Another thing too, is that goat track between Christchurch and Ashburton - in fact the whole length of State Highway One to Dunedin - is a vital trade link.  The Port of Otago and the Port of Timaru - alot of stuff goes through those ports and needs transporting around the South Island and beyond. So it just doesn't make sense to me that with all this focus on lifting productivity and all that, why better roading south of Christchurch isn't a priority.  And this isn't a beat-up on National, by the way. This is a beat-up on all political parties who seem to think that a few passing lanes here and there is all we need.   Because it's not.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A second mysterious "large bang" shook many north Canterbury residents over the weekend. Residents flocked to social media on Saturday to report hearing and feeling a sound they describe as a "sonic boom". Pam Jackson lives in Woodend, Christchurch.

A mysterious booming sound shocked North Canterbury residents this morning. The incident happened just before 9am, with many residents saying there was a 'shockwave' following the noise. Woodend-Sefton Community Board Chair Shona Powell has 'no idea' what caused the mysterious explosion. She says there are a lot of theories out there, ranging from gas explosion, meth lab explosion or construction accident. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When we wound up our podcast with Stan Aitken last September he suggested we should consider talking to his great mate and former fellow Melbourne jockey Paul Jarman. Stan supplied the phone number and we made contact with Paul who was a little shy about doing the interview. We talked him into it, and I hope he enjoyed it half as much as I did. Paul Jarman more than held his own among an elite group of jockeys and won some very famous races along the way. Paul talks about his decision to quit the saddle at just 39 years of age.   Always a bloke who tended to make things happen, Paul enrolled for a building and construction course at TAFE. He looks back on the beginning of his new career. Paul says the Gold Coast was the place to be for any aspiring builder in the late 1980's. His judgement proved correct. During his busy twelve years in the building trade he found the perfect diversion in fishing and crabbing. He talks about his passion for both pursuits. The former top jockey talks about yet another offbeat hobby. Paul is an experienced apiarist of all things. Paul talks of childhood days in Melbourne and his apprenticeship to Jack Besanko at the famous Epsom training centre. He talks about the trainer's popular nickname. He revisits the occasion of his first race ride on one of the Besanko team at Mornington. Paul says he had 32 rides before his first winner came up. He's never forgotten the 13fls race at Werribee. The horse was trained by Des McCormick. He looks back on his first city winner at Caulfield in 1964. The horse started at 100/1.  The multiple Gr 1 winning jockey was champion Melbourne apprentice three times in the 1960's. He credits the support of many trainers. His premiership wins earned him a start in a jockey's invitation race at Morphettville in 1966. He still can't believe he stole the prize from some of Australia's most elite riders. Paul looks back on the thrill of being offered the ride on Savoy in the Victoria Derby by respected trainer Ken Hilton. He cherishes the memory of his 1970 W.S Cox Plate victory on the Geoff Murphy trained Abdul. He and Murphy devised a daring plan which came off in spectacular fashion. Paul looks back on his association with Murphy whose talents as a trainer were matched only by his fiery post race disposition. Jarman talks of another Murphy trained horse who was at the centre of perhaps his greatest disappointment. He has no doubt severe interference cost him the 1971 Golden Slipper.  Paul remembers his great friendship with the legendary Roy Higgins. He says Higgins once presented him with a special gift. He looks back on a memorable winning day at Woodend on horses trained by his future father-in-law Bill Warke. He acknowledges his fifty years of marriage to the former Lyn Warke. Paul looks back on his twelve or thirteen Melbourne Cup rides. He managed two fourths. He says it was a privilege to go around so many times in the iconic race. One of his Cup rides ended in disaster. He cherishes the memory of race rides on legendary horses Tauto and All Shot. Paul looks back on an unexpected opportunity to ride in Ireland for trainer Kevin Prendergast. He and his new wife Lyn enjoyed the experience for two seasons. He won an Irish St Leger and enjoyed the experience of riding in some famous English classics. He even had a brief brush with royalty. On returning to Melbourne he hit an unexpected low point at Pakenham. He's very open in his recollections of a disqualification. He still believes he was hard done by. In the late 1970's the astute Andy White entrusted him with the ride on emerging stayer Big Print. In winning his second Vic Derby, Paul defeated the legendary Kingston Town. Paul has fond memories of his association with the legendary trainer Bob Hoysted. He highlights a couple of talented horses he got to ride for the champion horseman. The former ace jockey enjoyed a Tasmanian Derby win on Sobrikay in 1984. He looks back on a surprise Ascot Vale Stakes win on 140/1 “pop” Zephyr Cross in 1986. Paul talks of a career ending fall at Sandown in 1987. He decided on an early exit from race riding. Paul pays tribute to son Ben, daughter Tammy and six grandchildren. The entire family are together in Queensland. This is one for those who were around in the heady days of Melbourne racing in the 60's, 70's and 80's, and for younger people who are curious about the skills of the top jockeys of the era.

A massive fire north of Christchurch was sparked by a firework being let off. The blaze burned through 160ha of pine forest and scrub along a five kilometre stretch of beach from Pegasus to Woodend. Police are speaking to two young people; one has been referred to Youth Aid. 130 people were evacuated from a beach holiday park as the fire threatened last night, gathering up what they could and leaving in the dark to spend the night away from the path of the fire. Residents are beginning to return to their homes.

Firefighters say they were gutted to learn a blaze north of Christchurch was sparked by fireworks.   By last night, the fire had burned through more than 180 hectares of pine forest and scrub along a five-kilometre stretch of beach from Pegasus to Woodend. Police have spoken to two young people, one of whom has been referred to Youth Aid.  Fire and Emergency incident controller Graeme Knight told Corin Dann the fire hasn't grown in size, but there are still days of work ahead.

The Waimakariri mayor wants a national ban on private fireworks. It comes as more than 200 hectares of coastland between Pegasus Beach, Woodend and Pines Beach was set alight with investigators finding fireworks were to blame.  Two young people have been spoken to by Police, one of them has been referred to Youth Aid. Fire crews and an aerial team are still at the scene, tackling spot fires and dampening down hotspots. Waimakariri mayor, Dan Gordon told Mike Hosking wants Parliament to consider a ban on private sales, restricting fireworks to public displays.

One hundred and thirty people have been evacuated from a Woodend campground, after a wildfire started at about 8pm on Wednesday. The fire has been moving south, driven by 25 kilometre per hour winds gusting to 50 kilometres an hour. Reporter Sally Murphy is at the Pegasus subdivision spoke to Mani Dunlop.

It's Rapare, Thursday November the 3rd Anei nga kaupapa mo tenei haora.. Top stories this morning... A wildfire burning north of Christchurch has forced the evacuation 130 people from a Woodend campground PRESENTER ONE: * 50 firefighters are at the scene of the blaze which is moving south from Pegasus Beach, burning through tussock grasses and wilding pines In other news, we'll speak to the Reserve Bank Governor who's urging banks to support those facing financial strain as interest rates rise We'll have the latest on the heavy rain on the South Island's West Coast. And we speak to a Dunedin man who's turning his 1983 Toyota Hilux into an EV.

Fireworks are thought to have set-off the big fire in North Canterbury and I think the time has come for us to get rid of them. It's also time we stopped this ridiculous celebration of Guy Fawkes Day because it has absolutely no relevance to us here in New Zealand. What is relevant to New Zealand, is the fact that climate change is causing more extreme weather and letting any Tom, Dick or Harry get their hands on explosives and set them off wherever and whenever they want (in what can be tinder dry conditions, even this early in summer) is a recipe for disaster. Now if you're like me, the first thing you probably thought when you heard about the North Canterbury fire was whether fireworks might have been involved. Unlike the old days when fireworks were on sale weeks before Guy Fawkes Day, these days it's different and they can only be sold over a four-day period. And that four-day period started yesterday. Granted, it was blimmin' hot yesterday and windy too - so the risk of fire would've been greater anyway. But I'm taking it as a bit of a wake-up call. We live on the south side of town and when I walked out the door first thing this morning, all I could smell was smoke. In fact, it was so strong I wondered if there might be a fire somewhere closer than Pegasus and Woodend. I could even see smoke drifting over the houses in some parts. But as I headed into town, I could see the line of smoke running down the coast. I could smell it too, of course. And if you're one of the 130-odd people who evacuated from the fire area last night, you will have had a hell of a fright. A colleague of ours here at Newstalk ZB was at the Woodend Beach Holiday Park and ended-up helping a family rushing to leave. They were packing up the caravan and getting out of there. And the orange glow from the flames was almost right over them with flames going six metres into the air. The fire has gone through about 200 hectares and stretches about five kilometres. Fire and Emergency have had about 70 firefighters fighting the fire. Gusty norwesters are forecast - which is the last thing you need when you're dealing with a fire. And wind is always something I've been very mindful of when it comes to fireworks. In the past, if we've headed down to a beach to let off fireworks and there are trees in the area, the minute the wind picks up that's been it. I'll assume you're just as careful. But, at the same time, there are truckloads of idiots who don't give a damn and who will let off fireworks whatever the conditions. A bit windy? ‘Oh, it'll be sweet mate'. Whish! A few trees around? ‘Yeah, nah - all good. Got a lighter on ya?' They're the same idiots who think it's perfectly fine to let-off fireworks whatever time of the night it is. They were at it, at about 11 o'clock last night on our side of town. These people just can't help themselves, which is why I think we need to do them and us a favour, and just ban the sale of fireworks full-stop. Don't limit sales to four days a year - make it zero days a year. Because, whether you choose to believe it or not, climate change is going to mean our environment is going to get drier and drier and drier. At the same time as we're planting more and more trees to suck up carbon from the atmosphere. And we still think it's a great idea to sell explosives to any turkey, so they can do what they want with them? It is just nuts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fireworks are thought to have set-off the big fire in North Canterbury and I think the time has come for us to get rid of them. It's also time we stopped this ridiculous celebration of Guy Fawkes Day because it has absolutely no relevance to us here in New Zealand. What is relevant to New Zealand, is the fact that climate change is causing more extreme weather and letting any Tom, Dick or Harry get their hands on explosives and set them off wherever and whenever they want (in what can be tinder dry conditions, even this early in summer) is a recipe for disaster. Now if you're like me, the first thing you probably thought when you heard about the North Canterbury fire was whether fireworks might have been involved. Unlike the old days when fireworks were on sale weeks before Guy Fawkes Day, these days it's different and they can only be sold over a four-day period. And that four-day period started yesterday. Granted, it was blimmin' hot yesterday and windy too - so the risk of fire would've been greater anyway. But I'm taking it as a bit of a wake-up call. We live on the south side of town and when I walked out the door first thing this morning, all I could smell was smoke. In fact, it was so strong I wondered if there might be a fire somewhere closer than Pegasus and Woodend. I could even see smoke drifting over the houses in some parts. But as I headed into town, I could see the line of smoke running down the coast. I could smell it too, of course.

Deedre's formal apology to the author, Chuck Klosterman - even though he never asked for one. Plus:

Find out how McManus became The GEICO Caveman without formal acting training - or even a professional headshot for his audition. He didn't let self-doubt or his sparse resume prevent him from going after the role. It took talent and grit to be selected from the pool of 1,000+ applicants; however, McManus teaches us that living a more fascinating life is so easy, even you can do it! It's all about your attitude and approach to daily opportunities. Interesting people take risks and try new things. So, take a chance, try something different, set a goal, and give it your best shot. Bring 100% of your authentic self and let your light shine. He LOVES all things cinema. Brace yourself as we get a little nerdy about films. Do you think movies have become a bit boring? McManus provides us with several recommendations and discusses his solution to help people better select entertainment that is suited for their unique tastes. We also talk about Michael Jackson, butt rubs, and farts. But not all at once. Then stick around for a few rounds from The Very Interesting Game Show®! Where would you like to grow hair on your body, and what function would you give it besides just being hair? Bio: In front of the camera, McManus Woodend played the role of The GEICO Caveman for a decade, appearing in well over 25 national commercials as the iconic character. Additional roles include the Netflix films The Kindergarten Teacher, The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected), and The Incredible Jessica James. Behind the camera, McManus co-created the feature-length motion picture Rocksteppy, which had its World Premiere at the Sound Unseen Film +Music Festival and New York and Los Angeles theatrical premieres in late 2017. The treatment for his follow-up feature film King Dom was selected and presented at the IFP Film Conference. He recently directed the short film Paper with his wife, playwright Kelli Lynn Woodend. Mr. Woodend is currently a Ph.D. Candidate at The European Graduate School. He is a Filmmaking graduate of the David Lynch Graduate School of Cinematic Arts and holds undergraduate degrees from the Film Production and Entertainment Business programs at Full Sail University.

For 30 years Paul Bangay has fulfilled his clients' aspirations for gardens that are expressive of the timeless elegance, and classic simplicity for which he is internationally renowned.Widely regarded as the foremost garden designer in Australia today, Bangay's clients include a roster of the most prominent figures in business and culture. His extensive list of projects span private and public commissions in Australia and New Zealand, as well as further afield in Europe, North America and the West Indies.“To live a life led by the seasons is to live one closely tied to a garden, and Stonefields is mine”, says Paul. Pauls celebrated Victorian property, Stonefields, has now been under his expert care for 15 years. Today, the garden is mature and more beautiful than ever – from the vibrant autumn colours in the woodland, and evocative dormancy of winter, to the jubilant flowering of the crab apple in springtime and perpetual rich harvest of produce. In his new book “Stonefields by the Seasons,” Paul takes the reader through the garden at different times of year to highlight the design principles he has applied to various parts of it, and the wide-ranging inspirations for his choices. Along the way, he gives practical advice on seasonal planting and outlines essential quarterly tasks.Recently when visiting the stunning stonefields property, I loved the symmetry, yet free form style of the sumptuous gardens Paul has nurtured, and was struck by the calm, peaceful aura - a true sanctuary in the rolling hills of Woodend, Victoria.CREDITS:Executive Producer & host: Deborah Blashki-Marks (mindfilmandpublishing.com.au) Podcast Audio Producer:Sophie Jackson (Soundstreet.com.au) Artwork:Sam Moses (www.samanthamoses.com)Original music:Jonah OrbachVoice Recording:Matia Marks Design:Rachel Mcarthy (rachelmccarthy@live.com.au

WHEN Woodend's Samantha Rixon describes the feeling she gets taking a warm loaf of bread out of the oven or the first time she uses her beautiful handmade natural soaps, her entire face lights up.Her passion for all things homemade is almost palpable. So, her friends and family weren't surprised when she announced she was quitting her 9 to 5 corporate city job to run workshops in her mudbrick cottage with Woodend's forested backdrop as her view.With a nod to the 1940s, where taking time to make homemade goods was the norm, The School of Domestic Goddessery was launched in December last year.“I was inspired by my wonderful parents who had always embraced homemade goods and focused on production not consumption. We had homemade clothes, food, jams and bread and grew our own veggies. When my sister and I wanted biscuits, we made them,” she said.

Mathew comes on the podcast to share the UFO encounter he had in the Victorian town of Macedon. Mathew and his father both saw two giant flying objects floating over the mountains in the region.

Episode 15: In this episode, Angie Gust goes over information from nutrition experts in relation to the coronavirus. One such expert, Dr. T. Colin Campbell posed the question, "Does a whole food, plant-based diet – known to prevent, and even reverse a broad range of chronic degenerative diseases – act in a similar way to minimize viral diseases?” Based on his studies with the hepatitis B virus, he says that a whole food plant based diet might offer an important path to fight the coronavirus pandemic. The important UN climate meeting, COP 26, that was supposed to convene this November, will take place between Nov 1 and 12, 2021.   References Akhtar, A.  Our Symphony With Animals ~ On Health, Empathy & Our Shared Destiny With Animals.

This week in Beer is a Conversation James Atkinson chats with Dainton Family Brewing Founder and Head Brewer, Dan Dainton, who recently took out the Champion Craft Beer Award at this year's Craft Beer Awards. Dan Dainton Dan started his brewing career at the James Squire Brewhouse at the Portland Hotel in 2011. Already experimenting with bold and quirky flavours, Dan's brewing skills churned out a Black Rye IPA (which was pretty out-there at the time) along with other over the top IPAs - much to the dismay of Chuck Hahn. Realising he wanted to flex his talent and palate beyond that realm of James Squire, Dan transitioned to Holgate Brewhouse to further develop his brewing and in the fresh air of Woodend. After this stint up in the mountains, Dan convinced his father, Kev, to embark on his beer journey with him. Together they co-founded Dainton Family Brewing with Dan gypsy brewing around Victoria from 2013 until mid 2016 until they established their own permanent facilities in Carrum Downs. Medals are no stranger to Dan and his kin at Dainton Family Brewing, with several of their brews earning awards at various judging events over the past few years. Dainton's Cherrywood Smoked Baltic Porter was brewed especially for this year's Craft Beer Awards and was ultimately named this year's Champion Craft Beer.

This week we caught up with Holgate Brewhouse's CEO and founder, Paul Holgate. Paul and his wife, Natasha, have recently been asked by the University of Melbourne to assist with a course on the ins and outs of craft beer. Paul also discusses the history of Holgate, giving insight into all the hard work needed  for organic growth and what got their brewery to expansion point. Paul Holgate: Since 1999, the Paul and Natasha Holgate inspired family brewing company has been producing authentic craft beer from the village of Woodend, 75km north of Melbourne in the rural Macedon Ranges. Paul has a degree in chemistry and has had a keen interest in been since his university days, stating that a visit to the United States in 1997 was inspiration for him to build a brewery and brewpub in his home region.
