The Adelaide Show

Adelaide was flush with ideas and competition last weekend at #StartUpADL - and we talk to two of the winners. With Nigel 1 filling in for Brett, we delve into the Somerton Man Mystery and learn about its links to ASIO. Ben McHenry from the SA Museum talks about Bornite - our official, mineral emblem, which has just been dropped from the museum's Rainbow Mineral Collection, then it Adelaide Visa C...

Adelaide found a new avenger in Lucy Gransbury a former Adelaidean living and performing in Melbourne who wrote a scathing rebuttal to Anthony Sharwood's poison piece about our city. We chat with her via Skype as our first live guest. We also have our first Story From The Street as Sean O'Connor shares some observations about the new Adelaide Oval from up atop the stands. And are we really the Cit...

In this episode, Colin returns from the confines of a Panda (long story) to join Brett and Steve on the Courtesy Bus to memories of a great Adelaidean who died this week in her 100th year - Lillian Field AKA Steve's Grandma. Through her life we pick up on some interesting things from Adelaide's Yesterdays. Naomi Simson from RedBalloon drops inserts her quick thoughts about Adelaide while communica...

[NOTE: Revised version twice over - had to move some audio that had slipped - no content was altered] This week the introduction has been recorded live at Adelaide's annual Credit Union Christmas Pageant, with us secretly hidden inside Wang Wang and Funi on their bizarre float. However, cramped conditions thwarted our plans with Brett and Steve absconding from Wang Wang leaving Colin stuck in Funi...

Tonight we launch our much awaited theme song, Adelaidee Hoo. Could this be destined to become the next Adelaide Pub Anthem? We think it has potential, all we need are some singers ;-) We toast our late patron with a Lady Bay Tempranillo - a surprising drop. Colin sports a moustace and bemoans motorists de-hairing themselves at the traffic lights. Brett gets all pedantic about language with a reve...

Tonight is the most diverse podcast yet, with everything from cheese on trains to racist xmas pageant floats, and straight cabernet franc to a Sydney journalist biting off more than he can chew in attacking Adelaide. Music from Sun Theory and a revenue raising idea for the South Australian Government. Go on, you want to listen. Oh, there's even a reference to 'hardcore' music! Support the show: ht...

Steve is in Darwin yet again, this time draining a Bishop, while Colin and Brett poke their way around a prickly ginger beer. Colin discovers a great source of weekend activities and history around Adelaide at Weekend Notes, Brett's Letters From Abroad segment takes us from annoying flies to even more annoying Aussie slang even though the crew is happy to say cheerio to Deb from Slappa's Thongs in...

This week, Steve is back in Darwin and beaming in via satellite with his bottle of St Hugo Cab Sauv from the Coonawarra, while Colin and Brett enjoy Two Bit Sodas in the Adelaide studio. Heather Frahn whips up a frenzy with her song, All Living Beings, and we learn about all sorts of things from the 'boring' monarch our beloved city is named after, to Adelaide's sweet dessert spots - let alone Col...

Your three boring Adelaideans will discover Adelaide's hidden, pseudo convict heritage, be bedazzled by the Germein Sisters, honour our city's zombies with some trepidation, discuss the etiquette of hiking around a jail, and discover you can lead SA Water to a conversation but ... The wine this week is a stately drop from Langhorne Creek, courtesy of Wolf Blass, who might soon declare South Austra...

This week, we continue Nigel’s SA water pricing investigation, taste a ripper red wine from McLaren Vale, give in to our curiosity about the iconic children’s TV program, The Curiosity Show, and agree that Adelaide is weird enough to be cool. Other topics include Eagle On The Hill, Carclew, chocolate and wine pairing in Hahndorf, and a Twitter coffee rescue in Stirling. Finally, we also become the...

NOTE: Discussion about SA Water price increases in this episode have been challenged by SA Water and a conversation is underway. We will have an update in Episode 006 and hope to have a definitive outcome by Episode 007. This week, Colin is on the sick list and in his place we have Nigel Dobson-Keefe (pictured in the studio). Nigel is an Adelaide-based, professional scientist and brings some of hi...

This week, Steve is in Darwin leaving Colin and Brett to their own devices in Adelaide. Only minimal mischief ensues. Our wine is primarily a Keyeneton Euphonium 2010 from Henschke's, perfect for celebrating an auspicious birthday; the Adelaide Festival Centre turning 40. We hear about White House Down, fires in a Darwin Hotel, and Ingress, along with the Sydney Opera House, John Morphett, Steele...

Direct from the Pig Pavilion at the 2013 Adelaide Show, the boys smuggle in a mystery red wine, meet their first repeat offender during the Adelaide Visa Council, marvel at former Premier Don Dunstan's anti-Tidal Wave stand, and hear a song about Facebook by local singer songwriter David Robinson. Graeme Goodings gets an apology, Jo Jansyn gets an honorary Visa, and we mention Glenn Shorrock, Mari...
