With special guest: Glenn A Baker … in conversation with Bill Kable Glenn A Baker was a father of six children and a grandfather of 12. For those of us whose memories extend a little he was the music guru, so he was a very special Dad to be on our program. Glenn told us about an adventure he had lined up for those with a special interest in a particular seminal event and rock music generally. Yet…
With special guest: Jeff Apter … in conversation with Bill Kable It seems that everyone remembers the rock band Australian Crawl. Maybe not all the individual members of the band but certainly their front man James Reyne. They will remember the TV series featuring James called East of Eden. But it all comes back to the music, and Australian Crawl was part of an Australian assault on rock music.…
With special guests: Brendan Morris & Stephan Wellink … in conversation with Bill Kable The Thornetts, a band of brothers as Shakespeare might have called them. Today we explore what makes a champion when we hear about a sporting giant from 1960's Australia, namely Richard, or as he was more commonly known, Dick Thornett. Dick was the youngest in a family of champions. Dick's oldest brother was…
With special guest: Dr Sara Webb … in conversation with Bill Kable The title of this program may look as though it will make us doom struck or at least a little gloomy but strangely it does not. This might have something to do with our guest who is so bright and cheery talking about these biggest of the biggest of issues. Dr Sara Webb has written The Little Book of Cosmic Catastrophes (That Could…
With special guest: Paul Ham … in conversation with Bill Kable Our topics do not come much bigger or more interesting than The Soul: A History of the Human Mind written by our guest today Paul Ham. Certain ideas come to mind when we mention the word "Soul". Are we talking about soul music or the definition in the catechism or maybe the soul of America which was said to be lost during the Vietnam…
With special guest: Robin Bowles … in conversation with Bill Kable In the Northern Territory of Australia there have always been strange, spooky happenings. The disappearance of British backpacker Peter Falconio can be added to the list with so many fascinating elements and weird explanations offered. This real life story has even resulted in a horror movie being produced with some clear…
With special guest: Prof Ian Hickie AO … in conversation with Bill Kable We often hear about the rise in the rate of depression and anxiety in our community. The stigma of poor mental health has been reduced significantly so that sports stars such as Greg Inglis can now go on television and discuss their personal battles with depression without fear of any repercussions. But even when so many…
With special guest: Keenan Mundine … in conversation with Bill Kable Dreamer, nothing but a dreamer. That might be where it started for our guest today Keenan Mundine after a beginning in life that really didn't give him a chance. But after Keenan had spent the first half of his life in the criminal justice system he came to a realisation. Keenan either had to change his ways or face up to…
With special guest: Jeff Apter … in conversation with Bill Kable It is hard to discover who the real Lee Gordon was but Jeff Apter provides a whirlwind tour of this extraordinary life in his book Lee Gordon Presents . We know Lee Gordon arrived for the first time in Australia in September 1953. We know he left for the last time in 1963 before he died alone in a London hotel at the age (probably)…
With special guest: Dr Gabriel Weston … in conversation with Bill Kable In her absorbing new book called ALIVE Doctor Gabriel Weston looks in admiration at the incredible work 11 organs of our body do to keep us alive. Gabriel tells us that if the space permitted she would have liked to examine at least another 14 organs but we do get to investigate the most interesting. Somehow Gabriel manages to…
With special guest: Dr Gideon Blecher in conversation with Bill Kable This is a topic that is not often raised in polite company or even on talkback radio. Many men would be reluctant to discuss testicular cancer even with their doctor. This is despite about 700 men being diagnosed in Australia every year, and in men aged 18-39 it is the second most common form of cancer. In this program we go to…
With special guest: Dr Billy Garvey … in conversation with Bill Kable Our guest today is Dr Billy Garvey who is an expert in a field where you do not get provided with a guide book. All parents know the feeling when following the birth of your child you are set free expecting to know how to raise this very complex small version of ourselves. One of the first things Dr Billy tells us that it is…
