028 - Adam Goodes Part 2 of 2
In which we give Caroline Wilson the final word. (I couldn’t give anyone indigenous the final word, because this podcast’s zen is to never actively go looking for material, research style. It has to land in front of me.)

027 - Adam Goodes Part 1 of 2

026 - Getting to know your wife in an arranged marriage
A resumption of play on a major theme early in this podcast, being one of “Indigenous Australia”. And here’s something: there’s a moment in this one where, for the first time ever, Sporty comes close to firing up a little! But not too much. His zen remains undisturbed throughout.

His elders told him not to. But one morning he got up before dawn and climbed it anyway. Partly because the oldies told him not to. But also because telling a kid to not climb the only thing climbable inside a hundred miles of flat, boring nothing ... well that’s just cruelty, isn’t it?

And it’s all happening on a steam train hurtling down the side of a mountain far too fast. And it’s shaking and rattling and bits are falling off it. And oh no, there’s no driver! Or so suggests my wife’s uncle.
