A weekly podcast recorded in Adelaide that puts South Australian passion on centre stage with a featured guest who joins us each week as a co-presenter to share how they're pursuing their passions. We venture across topics as diverse as history, wine, food, art, music, relationships, critical thinking, health, news, interviews, chat and quizzes. Every single interview, every single show, unlocks insights into what drives people to be doing what they're doing and what keeps them striving. The Adelaide Show is produced by Steve Davis and Nigel Dobson-Keeffe. Please subscribe to our In Crowd list; you get an email each Friday (when we have published a new episode) with an overview of that week's show. Plus, consider joining our Inner Circle; a small group of passionate South Aussies who allow us to pick their brains and gain interviewee suggestions. This podcast began life as Another Boring Thursday Night In Adelaide from episodes 1-79.

066 - Of news readers and tea ladies
In this episode we discuss the brutal changes brought upon the Adelaide media landscape in the past week.
We pay respect to Graeme Goodings on his unceremonious dumping from the role of weekend newsreader at Channel 7.
We also pay homage to the ABC and reflect in cuts to 7.30, especially given Simon Royal's past involvement in helping get broadband connected to the Another Boring Thursday Night In Adelaide studios after Telstra had told us there were no connections available.
In reflecting upon Aunty, Steve remembers seeing tea ladies at the Collinswood studios when he did work experience there in the early 1980s, which leads us to Adelaide's king of tea, Robert Godden.
Robert helps us wheel the tea trolley back down the corridors of Adelaide's yesterdays.
We also have the editor of the Sydney Morning Herald before the Adelaide Visa Council for dubbing Adelaide a 'backwater', we get tips for new immigrants from a previous Adelaide Visa recipient, wine from the Coonawarra, and music from Victor Harbor singer/songwriter Sasha Galliver.
