At the drop of a hat!
On 6PR with Burgo we made our way through the drinks menu of our travels.
One of our callers described his experience of drinking Shochu in Japan which is a very spirited drink and left a lasting memory of his visit to Japan.
A favourite roadhouse for a cold milkshake, a hidden bar for a dark and stormy cocktail, a cold Peroni in Rome or a hot coffee in Istanbul. Drinks are an important part of our travels to exotic destinations and roadtrips and wherever we choose to travel.
For my second show with Burgo we decided that the new Air Asia flights from Darwin to KL were a great opportunity to talk about why KL makes a wonderful holiday destination.
Enjoy the audio below and maybe just a few of my favourite KL pics.
On 6PR Weekend Wrap Up, I found myself sharing the airwaves with John Burgess, an icon of Australian television and radio. A tv game show host legend and a radio dj when dj’s were gods of the airwaves. It was very cool to laugh our way through stories about sports tourism.
From callers with tales about naked West Indian cricketers to iconic events and venues around the world and close to home, with a lot of laughter we covered more ground than the MCG.
Enjoy listening to the first half of the show in the file below. Just like a Grand Prix driver, we go off track from time to time but we got to the finish line in style!
It was lots of fun to learn where our best bakeries are. Heats in Cockburn was a surprise that many callers say have the best donuts. Rottnest Bakery wasn’t a surprise nomination and it’s a great example of what we like about our favourite bakeries when we travel. They’re part of that rite of passage moment that defines your arrival. You haven’t really arrived on Rottnest until you’ve been to the bakery.
Williams Woolshed has a sausage roll that will get you through the day and Mount Barker with its range of gourmet pies was a popular choice.
A good bakery can be a reason to travel or it might just be the traditional break on your way to somewhere down the road.
On 6PR with Rusty, we swam with dolphins, watched some bilbies and even made time to debate whether a cream bun should have mock cream or real cream.
Enjoy listening to the show on the bar below. Let me know if it inspires you to head down to Dryandra or Rockingham or anywhere that’s got an animal experience you can be a part of.
From rites of passage and pilgrimage experiences like Gallipoli, Kokoda and the Western Front. From lesser known but no less important sites at Parit Sulong, Sandakan and Roebuck Bay; we visit these sites for understanding, respect and perspective.
This summer, I accepted a challenge by Christina Morrissy to present a daily segment on 6PR that explored themes and genres of music while attempting to sound like I knew what I was talking about. Listen below to our episode on movie themes. How did I go?
