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.

047 - Adelaide: City of cars and donuts?
Adelaide is building a reputation worldwide as the clean, fresh city in a beautiful state, boasting magnificent gourmet food and ease of getting where you want to go.
But tonight, we cover two topics that contrast against these claims so that, as Adelaideans, we can reflect on where we want to take South Australia next.
The first is the arrival of Krispy Kreme donuts with all the fanfare and plenty of media hype.
While we are the last people to turn down a little hedonistic pleasure, Professor Gary Wittert from Adelaide University's discipline of medicine, shines a light on the underbelly of donuts and donut consumption.
And then George Inglis (a self-confessed planning pretender and policy wonk) joins us to talk about public transport and share his personal views on what our city could do to run our blind obsession with cars off the road.
In George's view, frequency is the magic word, along we a rethink about having every type of public transport do the same thing instead of working together for a better system.
Nigel One gives us a great insight into a critical thinking approach when dealing with people who stump you in conversations with opposing views you feel are wrong, we solve the sunset times quandary from last week thanks to Geoscience Australia, and wine rains down from One Tree Hill thanks to the magnificent, Tenafeate Creek Wines.
Plus Adelaide landmarks of childhood, two radio veterans enter the South Australia Register and music from Sun Theory to warm your winter.
