The Adelaide Show 2017 Retrospective: Politics, is our review of question time on The Adelaide Show podcast, in which we held hearings into the political machinery that governs our lives.
Our retrospective is co-hosted by 2017 guest, Leila Henderson.
In 2017, some of the honourable members for this topic include:
- Jim Manning from our Unbearable Challenge of Ageing episode in which he lamented the heavy handed approach to regulation in the nursing home sector
- Ainsley Maconochie who has Multiple Sclerosis and who expressed frustration over legislation here that forced her to travel to Israel for disease-halting treatment
- Jeannine Malcolm, an advocate for eating insects who lamented at the conservative approach to dealing with this new frontier when it comes to regulations
But for this week’s show we’ll be revisiting:
- Michael McGuire, journalist and author, who wrote the “fiction” novel, Never A True Word, about the spin docotoring that goes on in State Parliament (and we’ve heard he now has a deal for a second book)
- Shane Yeend, an entrepreneur who has had the premier scream invective at his face over his expression of frustration with the government through a full page ad
- Tammy Franks MLC, who spoke to us about decriminalising sex work and who impressed us with her decent, level-headed approach to the political game
This week, the SA Drink Of The Week is still the Penfolds Grange, which is now being used to poach pears.
In 100 Weeks Ago, we hear from two guests, Mark Knight (Script Consultant and former Assistant Director) and Tess O’Flaherty (Producer, Actor, Assistant Director), who took us behind the scenes of the world of movie making in South Australia and Australia.
And in the musical pilgrimage … we’ll go back to Days in ADL by DyspOra from episode 221.
We also continue our experiment. Steve has falling in love with Jon Blake’s podcast from FIVEaa, not only because it is funny but also because he finds Jon to be an enigma. So, in our attempt at an homage to the great comic and announcer, we are experimenting with a segment called Bath Time With Blakey – it’s a fly-on-the-wall glimpse into Jon Blake when he’s away from the mic and behind closed doors!
