The old song goes, I'll put you together, again. Dr Bill Griggs has spent his life perfecting the skills and the art of putting people back together again - from hospitals to helicopters, from roadsides to military and disaster zones, Bill has been there. And, tonight, we try to piece together his life and learn what makes him go where most of us would be too squirmish to tread. We have many liste...

In the history of South Australian cricket, it appears there has been a minor grudge known as Steve Davis vs Andrew Sincock. And even then, it's possible we're overstating it because when Andrew Sincock heard he was about to be interviewed by "the other" Steve Davis, he quipped about the number of times Davis turned down his appeals while bowling. This week, the SA Drink Of The Week is from The Wi...

We all get old but tonight we explore the unbearable challenge of ageing. We have gathered some knowledgeable guests to help share the wisdom of the ages and illuminate our path forward.

During this episode and the next, Steve and Nigel will randomly draw a 2016 show title from a hat and pair it with a randomly selected question, to see how much they remember from each episode and how much each episode has impacted their lives. This week, they will name their Best SA Drink Of The Week (non-Red Wine category). The guys will answer listener questions from 2016. Steve will share his...

Family by family. That is how communities are built and it's also how they crumble. We have become so used to building and managing communities at scale, trusting in big business to create jobs and government to mop up when things go wrong, that we can feel isolated and disempowered when we hear that our famous "battlers" are really doing it hard. That's why Family By Family has caught our attenti...

Life as we know it began with a little bang. Well, a big bang, but it was quite little, apparently. Little Bang Brewing Company began as a small operation and just like the acceleration of mass at the beginning of time, it got larger really quickly. The prime movers behind this operation are Fil Kemp and Ryan …. , and they run a brewery and cellar door in Stepney each Friday, Saturday and Sunday b...

They don't have fritz in Sydney, went the old Bank SA ad many years ago. Yes, our humble sausage mix is indeed, South Australian, and therefore has become the most fitting name for a new, SA magazine that has all the offcuts of life in this state mixed and blended together into one, soft, perfumed product that is bound to put a smile on your face, like kids at the family butcher. To sort through t...

Can we have a symphony for the deaf? Can you hear music without the sense of hearing? Inspired by a true story, Maurice's Symphony is a new film that tells the story of Maurice Matters who loses his hearing in an industrial accident and then, through a revolutionary procedure, prepares to enjoy his love of classical music once more. It's been made by a cast of many passionate people, lead by Alex...

The Rose Of Tralee is a tradition from Ireland that has entwined Irish women and families around the world since 1959. This includes South Australia.

South Australia has sung the praises of its musicians while writer, Ann Deslandes, has sung the praises of South Australia from Mexico City, which is why this week's episode is entitled, From music to Mexico. Music SA has organised another successful South Australian Music Awards, packing out the Norwood Concert Hall last Friday night. Steve Davis and Dan Drummond attended and caught up with all t...

This week, we go back to where the Adelaide Show really began, with Steve's introduction to radio in Murray Bridge in the 1980s; a story we'll call Radio 5MU Style. It was a fateful Sunday morning in 1985 when I headed off to Murray Bridge for a 10am job interview with David Bean and Phil McEvoy. Little did I know I would be on air that afternoon for a trial and then back the following Saturday wi...

This week, we are streaming Adelaide theatre to the world from YOU WANNA BIT OF THIS NOW, Michael Allen Productions's live streaming theatre project in Blackwood. All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts. But in the Adelaide Hills, one man is making the theatre and television to local and...

This week, we are with the Red Army at home for a game day experience at the soccer. Join Steve Davis, Nigel Dobson-Keeffe, Damien Lewandowski, Josh Sampson and Dan Drummond, with a special guest star appearance by Dan's son, Jordy, who played at half time on the Hindmarsh Stadium turf, as we bring you the sounds, the commentary and the drum beats of A-League game day when arch rivals, Adelaide Un...

Welcome to the Adelaide Fashion Festival Collection, a special recording of The Adelaide Show Podcast. It will never be argued that Nigel and I are too sexy for the fashion industry. In fact, whether you turn to the left, or turn to the right, the last thing we are likely to bring to your mind is fa, fa, fa, fa ,fa, fa, fa, fa, fashion. And yet, even us two specimens of guys with minds elsewhere,...

The Bay To Birdwood and Beyond is a fitting title for a show all about the motor car and our roads. The motor car is one of those things many of us have a love/hate relationship with. There are times we love their convenience and power and the freedom they symbolise. At other times we hate the pollution, the traffic congestion and those hot days as we scald ourselves on seatbelt buckles. But no ma...

The Podcast of Illusion is all about the great traditions of circus entertainment. Why do most of us love illusion? I think it is because most of us don't believe it is possible and enjoy being surprised, again and again, as master illusionists play to our weaknesses and trick us time after time. I know I was expecting to crack the code of illusion at the Circus Of Illusion, but I didn't. The man...

The Great Detective Episode opens with a bunch of people crammed into a small office late at night, when there is a knock at the door and a beautiful dame walks in with makeup ruined by tears ... Tonight, we re-live the era when radio was the ultimate theatre of the mind: the 1950s. Thanks to Preachrs Podcast Online and On Stage, Adelaide is about to have a return season of Great Detectives Of Old...

Tonight, we are recording in an actual Man Cave, where we will be exploring the myth, the energy and the creativity that evolves in such places..

Dougal McFuzzlebutt is Man 1, he is known around town for all things food and food photography, Tom Northcott is Man...
