30: The Dawson Society - Conference on the Home 2025, with Dr. Tom Gourlay
“the suburbs ought to be either glorified by romance and religion or else destroyed by fire from heaven, or even by firebrands from the earth.” – G. K. Chesterton
That is the first line you'll read on the event information page for the upcoming conference in Perth WA, from the 10th -12th July. The event is called, "Home; Family, Place, Economics", and is being brought to you by The Dawson Society. https://dawsonsociety.org.au/event/home-conference/
Tom Gourlay from The Dawson Society joins me to discuss the event, which is compelling in the sense that it's exploring the meaning of home, and what that looks like in today's culture, whether that's as a nation, a community, a family, and even as an individual.
Listen to Tom as he shares some fascinating bits of history, insights into culture and how it's shaped and changed, and the importance of studying and understanding these concepts and applications in a world that often moves quickly past into the 'next best thing' without paying heed to lessons from yesteryear.

29: Grounded Australia 2025 - with Matthew Evans
*If you're a budding homesteader/farmer/foodie/health enthusiast/policy maker/wine drinker/entrepreneur/anyone?...have a read and check out the links for some amazing free content!*
Following on from our previous conversation in episode #19, Matthew Evans joins me once again but this time, to debrief the inaugural Grounded Festival Australia - which took place at Matthew's farm on the 4th and 5th of December in 2024.
What is Grounded?
(From the website:) "GROUNDED is a cross between a world class conference, an informative field day and a cracking food festival. The first one was run in the beautiful Huon Valley in Southern Tasmania in December 2024. Inspired by Groundswell in the UK, and run with their blessing, GROUNDED is reimagining farmer learning by running multiple talks and demonstrations on farm, for farmers and those interested in food systems, soil and even gardening, organised by people with skin in the game. Think good food stalls, good company, and cracking sessions, with a bit of music thrown in".
Matthew shares with us some of the key stories and experiences that came out of this incredible event, and we also discuss the highly exciting news about the 2025 Grounded Festival happening right here in WA on the 19th and 20th September near Bridgetown!
