00:00:00 Intro

Introduction

00:03:43 SA Drink Of The Week

In this uniquely spirited episode, we set the stage for an unforgettable showdown between fans of The Power and The Crows. Each team not only champions their club but also their corresponding gin in a taste test filled with cheers and friendly jeers. Michelle and Michael carry the banner for The Power with the vibrant Carn The Pear Gin, while Tina and Alexis back The Crows with the bold Adelaide Crows 2024 Players Recipe Gin. The gins, each crafted by renowned South Australian distilleries, reflect the distinct personalities and heritages of their AFL teams.

As the tasting concludes, the atmosphere shifts from competitive to contemplative with the arrival of John Gledhill. With a palate honed in Australia’s wine country and a plethora of judging experiences, John offers a professional critique that adds depth to the playful banter of our tasters. His expert commentary not only enlightens but also celebrates the craftsmanship behind each gin.

00:48:33 Musical Pilgrimage

In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature Dance With Me by Lizzie Hosking.

Rounding out the episode, we dive into the musical world with Professor Flint’s intriguing song, “The Demon Duck of Doom.” This track brings to life the tale of Dromornis stirtoni, a colossal prehistoric bird native to Australia, blending science with melody to captivate and educate.
