The Dorrigo Podcast

Episode 63 is here, and we're introducing two brand-new segments! First up is Local Listener of the Week , where we give a shout-out to one of the legends who supports the show. Then there's City Boy in the Bush , where you can join Mickey Z as he stumbles his way through life in Dundurrabin, proving he knows absolutely nothing about the bush. Plus all the usual rubbish!

This week on Episode 62, we’re joined live in the studio by Berko from the Chamber of Commerce to chat about the community forum he recently organised and the conversations coming out of it. We also tackle a couple of big questions: Do you believe in bad luck? And are we getting enough in return for the rates we pay? Plus, we’ve got all the latest news and sport from around the Plateau. All this a...

Episode 61 of TDP asks the big questions: what type of “hello” guy are you? Are the photos of Ebor Falls actually fake? Are feral animals slowly taking over the world? And can Howie mention his Europe trip at least three times in a single episode? All this, plus plenty more absolute rubbish, on this week’s episode of TDP.

New episode of our Voices of the Plateau series... This week, we hang out with world-famous, award-winning chef Simon Jones — owner of Charlie’s On Church in Bellingen. From NATO bases to stepping into Michael Jordan’s backyard, to Bermuda, New York, Canada, the High Seas and eventually landing right here on the Plateau, Simon’s journey is nothing short of incredible.  All that and plenty of other...

In Episode 58, the boys tackle the big debate: has Easter officially become the best holiday of the year? We also dive into the latest news, chat all things sport, and check in with Mayor Steve for an update on what’s happening along Waterfall Way.

Episode 57 dives into the growing fuel crisis and what it really means beyond the headlines. Mickey K breaks down how rising fuel costs and supply issues are hitting hardest out on the farm—where every litre counts. From running machinery to transporting goods, he unpacks the daily challenges farmers are facing, the tough decisions being made, and how it’s reshaping rural life. 

The boys are back — and as autumn settles in across Dorrigo, so does the usual nonsense from Mick and Mick... and a special, young guest. This week we chat fuel prices, with talk they could be heading north again thanks to the shenanigans in the Middle East. We dive into sport, where a genuine local legend has officially earned himself a place in the Dorrigo Podcast Hall of Fame. Plus, we cold cal...

This week on the Dorrigo Podcast, we sit down with the Mayor of Bellingen Shire, Steve Allen, to get the latest update on the Waterfall Way landslip and what it means for our community. We put your questions directly to the Mayor in the hopes of getting some answers — and some clarity — about what happens next for Dorrigo residents and everyone impacted by the ongoing disruption.

Waterfall Way is closed AGAIN and Dorrigo is feeling the impact. Berko (Dorrigo Chamber of Commerce) and local livestock agent Benny C join us to discuss how the Waterfall Way landslip is affecting Dorrigo—and what comes next. 

We’re back for a massive Christmas and New Year special, with our mate Cappsy jumping on the mic with us! We’re tackling the big questions: – Banning beers at third grade cricket… is it un-Australian? – Does it pass the pub test to pull over when you’ve really gotta go on the side of the road? – And should adults still be giving and receiving Christmas presents, or is it time to grow up? All this...

This week on The Dorrigo Podcast , we dive head-first into the festive fray: Christmas lights — love them or loathe them? Are you full of cheer, or are you a certified Grinch like Howie? We also wade into the big topic of compulsory military service, sprinkled (as always) with all the usual Dorrigo-flavoured rubbish Tune in for another episode you definitely didn’t ask for… but we give it to you a...

We packed up the studio and took The Dorrigo Podcast on the road — live from The Rec! With the doors open to the public, we were joined by some brilliant local voices: Rohan from the Bielsdown River Walk crew, young Finn Moffatt on the revival of cricket in Dorrigo with the Buzzards, and the “golden tonsils of Bellingen” Kye Ruigrok on the drama surrounding Dorrigo’s radio tower. Plus, we cover al...

We're back and bringing our new segment Voices of the Plateau , a new series that dives into the lives and legends of the people who call this beautiful place home. We kick off with none other than local top bloke Sean Leathers. Sean moved to Australia at the age of four, left home by 14, and spent his youth ranchin’ and ridin’ across North Queensland. From wrangling cattle to leaping into he...

After months of abusive emails and poorly spelled threats, we’ve finally caved — Stevie G is back . And damn, it feels good. Beers taste better when he’s around (probably because he brings them). This week, we’re the only ones brave enough to talk about it: Bellingen Golf Club has gone into voluntary administration . What’s gone wrong, who’s to blame, and can it be saved? It’s one of the best bits...

Who’s really to blame for the ongoing road closures on Waterfall Way — is it relentless weather, or just decades of poor planning and crumbling infrastructure? We dive into the mud (literally and figuratively) to find out. Plus, what’s really going on with the future of the Dorrigo Trout Hatchery? Locals want answers. But it’s not all doom and potholes — we also reveal the winner of The Greatest P...
