  • The drinks are on us
    Nov 21 2024

    In this podcast we have a chat with Shanna Whan, the founder of Sober in the Country. At AgWatchers, we are partial to a little tipple, but her charity is not anti-grog, it is about helping those who have a problem.

    Shanna set up SITC to help people who have alcohol dependency problems in rural areas. In this chat, we go on a range of topics about alcohol dependency, from our favourite tipples to the difference between Scottish and Australian drinking culture.

  • Overcoming grief.
    Oct 17 2024

    We will all experience grief at some point during our lives, and its something we can all deal with better. We recently met Michelle Moriarty at an event and she had a very interesting story, which we thought was worthwhile sharing.

    She won the 2023 WA Agrifutures Rural Women's Award for her organisation, Griefconnect.

  • Zeitgeist 3: Chemical ban, China stimulus and dockworkers
    Oct 9 2024

    As a pair, we go through the news daily and discuss what is happening. We thought, why not record it? So regularly, we will each choose a news topic to have a yarn about and give our views on, and we will select one together. On this podcast, we chat about dockworker strikes in the US, Chinese stimulus and the APVMA banning another ag chemical.
