    405 - Triggered By Cancel Culture And Political Pairing
    2024/11/03
    First up, we're joined by Robert Godden to dissect the centuries-old tradition of 'pairing' in politics, a practice where MPs offset each other's absence to maintain voting fairness. However, this tradition faces threats in today's hyper-connected world, where political integrity can be overshadowed by social media activism and public shaming. Following that, we sit down with Alex Vickery-Howe, discussing his provocative new play 'TRIGGERED'. The play offers a bold commentary on cancel culture and poses tough questions about free speech, artistic courage, and the cost of silencing in the social media age. And as always, we’ll round things off with our Musical Pilgrimage, where this week, we feature Feel Into You, by Alison Newman. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of your favourite South Australian spirit, and enjoy a journey through whisky, cars, and music!

Running Sheet: Triggered By Cancel Culture And Political Pairing 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week There is no South Australian Drink Of The Week this week. 00:03:13 Robert Godden And The Principle Of Pairing I'd like to explore the centuries-old principle of 'pairing' in politics—an honourable arrangement where a parliamentarian, unable to attend a vote, finds someone voting the other way to abstain as well, preserving the integrity of the parliamentary process. I would go so far as to claim that pairing is a hallmark of parliamentary civility, a gesture that underscores trust, respect, and a commitment to democracy that rises above partisan interests. In many ways, it’s a defining characteristic of a civilised society—keeping us far from Thomas Hobbes' grim view of life as 'nasty, brutish, and short.' However, in a recent episode here in South Australia, this tradition was overshadowed by allegations of intimidation and public shaming. A prominent academic allegedly pressured an MP to break her pairing commitment, even threatening to ‘hold her to account in the public square.’ This incident raises serious questions about the fragility of our democratic norms and the implications of social media-fuelled activism on parliamentary integrity. Joining me is Robert Godden, our resident political commentator, to discuss the erosion of such honourable traditions in politics, the risks to our institutions when personal agendas take precedence, and the ripple effects on workplace safety and culture in political environments. Robert, welcome back. Why do you think the principle of pairing has endured for so long in politics, and what does it symbolise in our parliamentary culture? Some might say that pairing demonstrates a level of trust and civility that's rare in today's political climate. Would you agree with that? And why do you think such civility matters? When MPs honour pairing arrangements, how does this benefit the broader democratic process? BACKGROUND In Australia, following the 2010 federal election, the Opposition refused to grant automatic pairing to the minority Gillard government, leading to some embarrassing situations.In the UK in 2018, there was controversy when Conservative MP Brandon Lewis broke a pairing agreement with Liberal Democrat MP Jo Swinson, who was on maternity leave.In Australia, there was an incident where a pair was initially not given for a member to care for her sick baby. Let’s talk about the recent incident where a professor threatened to 'hold an MP accountable in the public square' if she honoured her pairing agreement. What do you make of this approach? Social media has become a powerful tool in political advocacy, but it can also be a blunt instrument. Do you see this incident as part of a broader trend of using social media to influence political processes, and what dangers does that pose? In a way, this scenario seems to echo tactics often associated with figures like Donald Trump, who many...

    404 - Polish Those Bay To Birdwood Cars And Polish Off That Australian Whisky With A Dash Of Blues
    2024/10/18
    Welcome to episode 404 of The Adelaide Show, and today we’re celebrating craft, both in whisky and in cars, with a touch of blues to finish off. Our main guest today is Paul Burnett, distiller at 23rd Street Distillery in Renmark. Paul has taken the reins at this iconic South Australian distillery and continues to build on its legacy, with two of their whiskies recently taking gold at The Spirits Business Luxury Masters 2024. We’ll be tasting their award-winning Australian Whisky and Australian Single Malt Whisky. But before we get too far into the glass, we’ll shift gears into the world of automotive detailing with Matthew Gibb, a.k.a. ‘The Pad King’. Matthew, from Matt’s Magic Detail Tech, has been transforming cars for over 30 years, and with the Bay to Birdwood this weekend, it’s the perfect time to learn about the art of keeping classic cars in pristine condition. Whether you’re a car enthusiast or just appreciate the love and care that goes into preserving a piece of history, Matthew’s insights into the detailing world are bound to be fascinating. And as always, we’ll round things off with our Musical Pilgrimage, where this week, we feature a track from Adelaide’s very own Mojo Dingo. Their song, So Refined, blends modern blues and funky rhythms, and we’ll explore how they’ve made waves on the local music scene, catching the ear of industry insiders. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of your favourite South Australian spirit, and enjoy a journey through whisky, cars, and music!

Running Sheet: Polish Those Bay To Birdwood Cars And Polish Off That Australian Whisky With A Dash Of Blues 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:03:05 SA Drink Of The Week The South Australian Drinks Of The Week this week are from 23rd Street Distillery. In this episode, we have the privilege of tasting not one but two stellar whiskies from 23rd Street Distillery. Joining us is distiller, Paul Burnett, the man behind the magic. Well, he admits he inherited some magic when he joined the Renmark operation two years ago. We’re doing this tasting because at The Spirits Business Luxury Masters 2024, their Australian Whisky, triumphed in the World Whisky – Super-Premium category, and their Australian Single Malt Whisky, took gold in the Ultra-Premium category. 00:26:05 Matthew Gibb, The Pad King and Matt’s Magic Detail Tech Just ahead of Sunday’s Bay To Birdwood, we’re joined by Matthew Gibb, the mastermind behind Matt’s Magic, a professional detailer with over 30 years of experience in the automotive detailing world. Matthew’s journey began in 1993, transforming his humble Suzuki Swift into a showstopper, and since then, he’s been pushing the boundaries of detailing with cutting-edge technologies. As Bay to Birdwood enthusiasts know, keeping classic cars in pristine condition is about more than just appearances—it’s a dedication to preserving history and craftsmanship. Matthew’s passion for perfection, much like that of the event’s participants, celebrates both the art and science of automotive care. Whether you’re an enthusiast or simply curious about the world of detailing, today’s conversation will offer a glimpse into how Matthew has transformed his love for cars into a career at the forefront of the industry. 01:11:21 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature So Refined by Mojo Dingo. Steve dubs them as not 12-bar blues, or 16-bar blues, or 8-bar blues, but just pure BAR blues. Matt Cahill from Paper Rock Scissors records agrees, noting that although they’re standard 12-bar blues, the thing about them is that ‘to me’ they seem to be an almost perfect blend of blues & catchy pop/rock. Matt had never been a fan of the Blues, until the very first time he saw these guys and signed them to his label that evening. Mojo Dingo is a modern ...

    403 - Those Dry Stone Walls Revisited
    2024/10/07
    In this episode, we take apart the story of South Australia’s iconic dry stone walls, stone by stone. Our guest, Bruce Munday, take us on a captivating journey across the state, exploring the history and craftsmanship of these enduring structures. As we uncover the tales behind each wall, we celebrate the skill and dedication of both past and present artisans who keep this traditional craft alive. The SA Drink of the Week this week is a brand new Raspberry and Finger Lime Gin from 23rd Street Distillery. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, we hear the emotionally charged single "Sincerely Me" by the talented Hayli. Join us for this milestone episode as we blend history, music, and community conversation, marking eleven years of showcasing the passions that shape South Australia.

Running Sheet: Those Dry Stone Walls Of South Australia 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:04:05 SA Drink Of The Week The South Australian Drink Of The Week this week is the brand new Raspberry and Finger Lime Gin from 23rd Street Distillery. This gin is a really interesting blend of juicy raspberries and tangy finger lime. After soaking the blue juniper berries they then start the vapor distil process, creating a spicy, aromatic gin base. Then they add in the raspberries and finger lime, which soak for about three weeks, tasting daily to get that balance right. The gin's smooth and fruity, and its recommended to mix it with tonic or soda and garnish with lime and mint. Our guest taster, John Gledhill from Gledhill Vignerons, mixed the drinks with Bickfords Soda and Bickfords Dry Tonic, and then pulled a rabbit out of the hat, mixing it with Fever Tree Raspberry Tonic. He also agrees with the good people at 23rd Street, that this would go very very well with dark chocolate. 00:18:30 Bruce Munday, Those Dry Stone Walls Revisited South Australia is blessed with beautiful stone – stone with colour, texture and light. Some of our stone structures have stood for 150 years, never touched by mortar. So, in this episode, Bruce Munday returns to The Adelaide Show to share the stories behind these stone walls and the people who built them and commissioned them. His book is, Those Dry Stone Walls Revisited, out through Wakefield Press. If Bruce sounds familiar, he was last on our show in 2017, discussing the history of rabbits in South Australia and beyond. 01:03:50 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature Sincerely Me by Hayli. Hayli was first on The Adelaide Show in episode 369, but has released a new single since then, Sincerely Me, which is very very raw. In fact, it comes with an explicit tag so if you're listening with kids or you'd prefer not to have your sensibilities pushed, you might want to click through to listen to some of her other tracks instead. As you'll hear in our interview, Hayli is a dynamic artist who pursues great clarity in in her stories, with the lyrics matching the melody and performance. So, it only follows that when she is unpacking a story of betrayal, that the passion and the rawness go off the scale. I've since discovered why Hayli was so generous in her interview and so clear in her willingness to dive into her storytelling through song; it's because she wants all of us to embrace music culture , whether we're adults or whether we're kids who are thinking about learning an instrument. Hayli, who is the music teacher at Seaview High School, says the most important part to of music is that people learn the value of self expression and teamwork. And she must be doing something right because her students have nominated her as the ARIA Music Teacher of the year. You can watch the nomination video with Sarah McLeod, and you can also vote for her, once a day, between now and November 13, 2024.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/...

    402 - Pleasing You Was Important At John Martin's
    2024/09/15
    Most South Australian's of a certain age, remember John Martin's Department Stores with great fondness. And now, 26 years after the doors closed, Paul Flavel has brought Johnnies back to life with a magnificent, hard cover book. He's our special guest, taking us down memory lane after five solid years of research and story gathering. There is no SA Drink of the Week this week. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, we hear an early song by Australian legend, Peter Combe, which was written for the John Martin's Christmas Pageant. Join us for this milestone episode as we blend history, music, and community conversation, marking eleven years of showcasing the passions that shape South Australia.

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concisepage Running Sheet: Pleasing You Was Important At John Martin's 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week No SA Drink Of The Week this week. 00:02:45 Paul Flavel, Author, John Martin's The Story Of South Australia's Beloved Department Store In this episode, Steve Davis sat down with author Paul Flavel to delve into the rich history of John Martin's, South Australia's beloved department store that graced the retail landscape for over 130 years until its closure in 1998. Paul's new book, John Martin's: The Story of South Australia's Beloved Department Store, is the first comprehensive documentation of this iconic institution, lovingly dedicated to his grandmother—a personal link that fuels his passion for the store's legacy. We explore dramatic moments in John Martin's history, starting with the devastating fire on Easter Sunday in 1901, when a display of wax figurines representing the Rock of Ages caught fire, spreading rapidly through the store. Despite such challenges, including enduring the Great Depression and two World Wars, John Martin's remained a cornerstone of the South Australian community. Paul shares how John Martin's stirs vivid memories in the subconscious of South Australians. For many, it was a place of first jobs straight out of school, the magic of the annual Christmas Pageant—a wonderful institution that brought joy to families—and staff picnics that fostered a sense of loyalty and connection among employees. These traditions remind us of a time when working for a company meant being part of a community. We reminisce about the charming "lift ladies" and other quirky characters that made shopping at John Martin's a unique experience. The conversation includes some funny stories, and even some romantic tales reminiscent of Are You Being Served?, like Steve's unrequited romance with the stationery girl, and anecdotes about his colleagues like Debbie, Sharon, and the West Lakes' stores version of Mr Peacock. We also touch on the iconic "Miss JM" and miniskirs, along with the store's brush with fame during The Beatles' visit. The conversation turns reflective as we examine whether, as consumers, we played a part in the store's demise. The introduction of bank credit cards in Australia gave shoppers more freedom, reducing reliance on department store credit systems—once a significant part of John Martin's business model. The rise of national retailers like Myer, and discount stores such as Kmart and Target, intensified competition, challenging John Martin's ability to compete. We discuss how these factors, along with the sale and rebranding of various store locations, signaled the end of an era. Finally, we contemplate whether a store like John Martin's could succeed in today's retail environment. Paul shares insights from his extensive research and reflects on how consumer behavior and the retail landscape have evolved. Is there still a place for the loyalty and community that John Martin's fostered, or have we moved beyond that model? Join us for a nostalgic journey through the history of John Martin's, filled with personal stories, historical insights, and reflections on the store's enduring legacy in ...

    It takes a family to raise a theatre company, so we gathered Stirling Players family members, Erik Strauts, Bronwyn Chapple, Anita Zamberlan Canala, and Probir Dutt, to take is into some of its rich heritage and interesting moments. The SA Drink of the Week is from Howard Vineyard, which supports the work of Stirling Players. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, we hear an original composition by Stirling Players committee member, Probir Dutt.

We’d greatly appreciate it. And please talk about us and share our episodes on social media, it really helps build our community. Oh, and here’s our index of all episode in one concisepage Running Sheet: The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of Theatre 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:02:20 SA Drink Of The Week The SA Drink Of The Week this week is a 2022 Shiraz from Howard Vineyard. For the record, the General Manager and Head Winemaker at Howard Vineyard, Tom Northcott, was a guest in episode 161 A Night At The Manchen, and his 2010 Amos Cabernet Franc was our SA Drink Of The Year in 2013. 00:07:50 From The Stirling Players – Erik Strauts, Bronwyn Chapple, Anita Zamberlan Canala, and Probir Dutt The Stirling Players is a prominent amateur theatre group based in the Adelaide Hills, with a rich history marked by significant achievements and contributions to the local arts scene. As the group approaches opening night of its first ever “cross species” production, a play called Sylvia about the relationship between a man and his dog and the rift that creates in the relationship with his human wife, we’ve gathered backstage while people scurry about us, bumping in the set and running some of the final rehearsals. To take the story of Stirling Players out for walkies, we have the director of Sylvia, Erik Strauts, committee member and theatre stalwart, Bronwyn Chapple, actor who plays Kate in Sylvia, Anita Zamberlan Canala, and fellow committee member and composer, Probir Dutt. Sylvia runs September 13-28, 2024. Tickets here. Your new president, Tim Williams, opens the current edition of your newsletter saying, “Did you know that producing a play is absolutely simple?” If I hadn’t read past that, I would have thought that bothering to come up the hill for this chat was much ado about nothing. However, he does go on to give context. What is the first reaction that runs through your minds when you hear that provocative claim? Erik, to give us an idea of what the arc of a production is like, how long it takes from conception to birth – when did you get an inkling that this could be a good Stirling Players production? Sarah Jessica Parker of Sex And The City fame was one of the first actors to play Syliva, the dog. How on earth do you direct a human to be a dog in a way that holds the narrative together without breaking that all important suspension of disbelief among audience members? The play did get some very warm reviews during its run off and on Broadway in the 1990s but it also got criticised for its portrayal of women. Were those criticisms valid, or did they misunderstand the show, and if they were valid, have you had to modify aspects of the play or its staging? Bronwyn, you’re a part of the furniture at the Stirling Players (and I mean that in a nice way) and I believe you’ve also maintained a collection of production posters and cast notes, so I wonder if you can recall other productions from the company’s past, where you’ve taken on unconventional material? Let’s dart back to the beginning of Stirling Players. It was 1972, I believe. What came first – the desire to have a theatre company or the desire to save the Stirling Institute building? I do like the creative spark that lives in this company because it was only a few years old when it started the Hills Festival of One Act Plays in 1976. , the Stirling Players initiated the Hills Festival of One Act ...

    400 - Balancing Heritage And Progress With The Adelaide Lord Mayor
    2024/08/24
    Welcome to the landmark 400th episode of The Adelaide Show! This week, we’re celebrating a significant milestone with a special guest, Lord Mayor, Dr Jane Lomax-Smith AM. Our discussion delves into the challenges and opportunities of balancing heritage preservation with modern development in Adelaide, especially in the face of growing pressures to modernise historical sites. Oh, and does Steve Davis sneak into the Adelaide Town Hall and play the famous pipe organ? The SA Drink of the Week segment is a fitting tribute to Adelaide’s history, because we sip a beverage connected to Colonel William Light, the city’s founder. Join us as we explore the historical and cultural significance of this choice in a lively and insightful taste test. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, we round out our celebration, with The Saucermen performing a song that resonates with the themes of heritage and progress.

Oh, and here’s our index of all episode in one concisepage Running Sheet: Balancing Heritage And Progress With The Adelaide Lord Mayor 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:03:50 SA Drink Of The Week The SA Drink Of The Week this week is a Penfolds Club Port. This was chosen because I had recently met the Lord Mayor at Colonel William Light’s birthday celebration at the Adelaide Town Hall, an annual event since 1859 that honours Adelaide’s founder. On April 27 each year, a group of people invited by the Lord Mayor, commemorate Light’s influence on the city’s layout with Australian Port, symbolically drunk from a historic silver bowl. Curiously, though, we each had separate slices of a special fruit cake and separate glasses of wine instead of sharing from the bowl. I asked the Lord Mayor why that was? 00:10:03 Adelaide Lord Mayor, Dr Jane Lomax-Smith AM Here we are, crafting a very special 400th episode of The Adelaide Show, where we’ve been shining a spotlight on South Australia’s passionate people for 11 intriguing years. Today, we’re joined by Lord Mayor Dr Jane Lomax-Smith AM, at a time when the echoes of Adelaide’s pioneering spirits are being tested by the drumbeats of modern development. Together, we’ll delve into how we can cherish and protect our city’s rich heritage while steering towards progressive change, a topic sparked by the recent uproar over The Cranker’s near-demolition. Dr. Lomax-Smith brings a wealth of experience from her dual roles as a former state minister and our current Lord Mayor, promising insights that bridge our past with the future. Welcome. This interview has extra signficance for me because it completes the trifecta of having had three Lord Mayors (everything inside me wants to say Lords Mayor) on our podcast. Stephen Yarwood got the ball rolling by drawing the ire of Peter Goers who lambasted him and us and gave us some profile, then Martin Haese was part of the program, playing some guitar, too, and today we have the honour of your company as we mark this milestone episode. What is it like, being in a role that is often called upon to mark special occasions and anniversaries, even though such things are purely arbitrary? When we began this podcast enterprise in 2013, we were motivated by the ubiquitous, lazy linking of Adelaide with the word, boring. We fought a strong fight and discovered that much of that slander had diminished by episode 80, which is when we marked our transition from Another Boring Thursday Night In Adelaide to our current name of The Adelaide. Do you think we have shaken off that connection? Do you find it still lingers? A psychologist we interviewed, Alexandra Frost from Attuned Psychology, noted that people are largely in control of how “boring” their surroundings are. You could be just as bored in New York as Adelaide, if ...

    Running Sheet: The Inaugural South Australian Gin Showdown

    00:00:00 Intro

    Introduction

    00:03:43 SA Drink Of The Week

    In this uniquely spirited episode, we set the stage for an unforgettable showdown between fans of The Power and The Crows. Each team not only champions their club but also their corresponding gin in a taste test filled with cheers and friendly jeers. Michelle and Michael carry the banner for The Power with the vibrant Carn The Pear Gin, while Tina and Alexis back The Crows with the bold Adelaide Crows 2024 Players Recipe Gin. The gins, each crafted by renowned South Australian distilleries, reflect the distinct personalities and heritages of their AFL teams.

    As the tasting concludes, the atmosphere shifts from competitive to contemplative with the arrival of John Gledhill. With a palate honed in Australia’s wine country and a plethora of judging experiences, John offers a professional critique that adds depth to the playful banter of our tasters. His expert commentary not only enlightens but also celebrates the craftsmanship behind each gin.

    00:48:33 Musical Pilgrimage

    In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature Dance With Me by Lizzie Hosking.

    Rounding out the episode, we dive into the musical world with Professor Flint’s intriguing song, “The Demon Duck of Doom.” This track brings to life the tale of Dromornis stirtoni, a colossal prehistoric bird native to Australia, blending science with melody to captivate and educate.

    398 - Baking a Difference: Car 13 The Bakers on the SA Variety Bash Trail
    2024/08/13
    Hello and welcome to the episode we are referring to, internally, as "Rolling Dough and Raising Spirits" or should that be "Raising Dough and Rolling Spirits"? It's about The SA Variety Bash which is underway today, the day we are releasing this episode (10th August 2024), and the main interview was recorded inside Car 13 The Bakers, which my company, Talked About Marketing, helped sponsor. So, you'll be right there amid the rumbling of a 1991 Commodore, as we cruise with a crew that mixes baking with benevolence. I talk about Darren Sutton from Kytons Bakery, along with his mates Julian Stone and Chris Madeley, as they put the finishing touches to the car before they drive thousands of kilometres to support the work of Variety. And when I say "finishing touches", I mean touches they needed to avoid the car being finished (yes, we spent an hour with the car on a hoist while last minute work was done, related to the transmission - luckily, that's not a critical part of the car). In The Musical Pilgrimage, we finish with a musical detour with 'Dance With Me' by Adelaide’s own Lizzie Hosking, adding a rhythm to our ride that’s got to make it onto the road trip playlists of all participants this year, especially Mr Fresh FM, Chris Madeley. There is no SA Drink Of The Week, this week. You can navigate episodes using chapter markers in your podcast app. Not a fan of one segment? You can click next to jump to the next chapter in the show.
