The Adelaide Show

About The Adelaide Show

A weekly podcast recorded in Adelaide that puts South Australian passion on centre stage with a featured guest who joins us each week as a co-presenter to share how they're pursuing their passions. We venture across topics as diverse as history, wine, food, art, music, relationships, critical thinking, health, news, interviews, chat and quizzes. Every single interview, every single show, unlocks insights into what drives people to be doing what they're doing and what keeps them striving. The Adelaide Show is produced by Steve Davis and Nigel Dobson-Keeffe. Please subscribe to our In Crowd list; you get an email each Friday (when we have published a new episode) with an overview of that week's show. Plus, consider joining our Inner Circle; a small group of passionate South Aussies who allow us to pick their brains and gain interviewee suggestions. This podcast began life as Another Boring Thursday Night In Adelaide from episodes 1-79.

   440 - Kangaroo Island News, Satire, and Frontier Journalism

   Award-winning journalist Dan Clarke joins us from Kangaroo Island to talk about frontier-style journalism in a community where you’ll meet your subjects in the IGA checkout line, why satire might be the gentlest way to tell hard truths, and the long saga of a ferry called Ruwi, before Steve Davis and the Virtualosos sign off with a satirical song about a River Torrens platypus that may or may not exist.

   439 - Lady Marie Galway And Her Husband's Pipe

   Author Susan Neuhaus reveals the astonishing double life of Lady Marie Galway, the German-Bavarian, Catholic wife of South Australia’s most unpopular governor, whose wartime philanthropy built the state’s first Red Cross, with a rare 25-year-old Galway Pipe tawny poured as the South Australian Drink of the Week and a Steve Davis and The Virtuosos original closing out the show.

   438 - Is Peter Malinauskas A Liberal Party Asset?

   Political commentators Robert Godden and David Olney join Steve Davis to debate whether Peter Malinauskas’s own missteps are pushing disillusioned ALP supporters toward Jack Batty and Ashton Hurn, before turning the Spin Detector tool on a Health Minister’s response to an ambulance ramping crisis and weighing up whether Sunday’s Stop the Chop march can actually change anything — capped off with a new ska single, “For Pete’s Sake”.
