Will I see you there? I’m excited to be the MC at Field Day 2026 at Chatsworth House.

Take a look at the program… Day one will explore why natural capital matters, unpack carbon and financial natural capital, examine production in practice, and provide insights into supply chains and emerging natural capital markets. There will also be networking drinks, a delicious dinner, an ideal setting to connect with fellow farmers and industry leaders and hear from keynote speaker, Tim Jarvis AM.

Day two the focus shifts to agtech, foliar applications and the practicalities of how farmers can use these approaches in their own businesses, with insights from producers already putting them into practice. There will also be the change to dive deeper into soil health.

Can’t wait to see you there! Tickets available now.

Do you know who'd I'd like to hear on a podcast? Socrates...

Socrates taught and learned through conversation. He wandered the streets of Athens asking questions, listening deeply and encouraging people to think more critically about the world around them.

And really, isn’t that what a great podcast does?

Like Socrates’ conversations, great podcasts create space for curiosity, reflection and shared understanding. They invite audiences into thoughtful discussions that unfold over time — rather than chasing quick headlines or polished soundbites.

So, what would Socrates make of podcasting?

I reckon he would love being behind the microphone.

I’ve been thinking about this while on the home straight of my PhD in journalism, looking at the power of podcasting for rural and regional Australia.

I’ve written more about it on the Rural Podcasting Co. blog

Mark your calendars! I can’t wait to MC this event!

With a strong focus on building natural capital, strengthening farm resilience and improving long-term profitability, this event delivers practical insights grounded in real-world experience.

Across the two days, you'll hear from expert speakers and panel discussions, with hands-on field walk sessions bringing the ideas into the paddock on Day 2.

The aim is to equip farmers with the knowledge and confidence to navigate a rapidly evolving landscape and together build a more sustainable and profitable future.

I can’t wait to see you there!

On the stage as a finalist in the 3 Minute Thesis competition for Deakin University.

You have 3 minutes to explain your PhD. One second over and you’re disqualified.

10 of us in the grand final. And I was feeling the nerves!

I’m on the home stretch of my PhD, examining how podcasting can be used to support rural and regional local news.

I got up ont the stage at Fed Square in Melbourne, I did my bit…. I forgot a line about the impact of my research (but no one would have known). Overall, I think it went pretty well.

I didn’t win.

An innovation in lithium ion batteries won, followed by brain cancer research. And rightly so.

But an absolute privilege to be on the stage with these amazing innovators all the same! What an experience.

More Than Workers: How Music is Connecting Warrnambool and Timor-Leste

Most Aussies remember the role Australia played in Timor Leste’s fight for independence from Indonesia, more than two decades ago. Yet many wouldn’t realise the significant role Timorese migrants play in our modern economy. And if you’re in Warrnambool, you may not even know that 400 Timorese are living here too.

That’s where Lian Husi Timor, or “Voices of Timor” comes in. It’s a choir and cultural group bringing together workers from Timor-Leste through music, dance, faith and storytelling.

Many members arrived in south-west Victoria through the PALM Scheme, working at the abattoir at Midfield, while supporting families back home in one of Asia’s youngest nations. Their stories are inseparable from Timor-Leste’s history; from Portuguese colonisation and Indonesian occupation to the country’s long fight for independence, strongly supported by many Australians.

At a Timor-Leste Independence Day celebration in Warrnambool and Festa Timor in Port Fairy, this episode captures how culture becomes a bridge between old and new homes. Through Tetum songs, traditional dancing, Catholic mass and community gatherings, Lian Husi Timor is helping preserve identity while building belonging in regional Australia.

Billy Barker - Musician and Secretary and Growth and Development Officer for Lian Husi Timor, Warrnambool
David Darba - Musician and Lian Husi Timor choir member, Warrnambool
Siva - Lian Husi Timor choir member, Warrnambool
Ade - Lian Husi Timor choir member, Warrnmabool
Nunes - Timorese singer, Launceston, Tasmania
Carla Chung - Migrant Worker Support Person, Australian Catholic Religious Against the Trafficking of Human,
Paulie Stewart - Singer, Dilli Allstars, Melbourne

From the legacy of solidarity movements to performances at the Port Fairy Folk Festival, this is a story about resilience, migration, homesickness and the power of music to create connection across cultures.

If one or more of these excuses are holding you back from making a podcast… we need to talk!

I have heard them all before. And guess what? I have worked through them all with many, now successful podcasters!

So don’t listen to that silly voice in your head. Book a free 15 min call with me instead - and let’s make your podcast happen!

I prefer streams/downloads, because it's basically the closest thing podcasting has to a standardised metric. Platforms define what counts as a valid download (e.g. filtering bots, partial downloads, repeat requests).

That makes this number far more credible for:
- sponsors and advertisers
- benchmarking across shows
- tracking growth over time

Whereas, a "play" might be:
- someone who listened for 5 seconds
- someone who listened to the whole episode
- the same listener hitting play multiple times

So if you want a more accurate measurement and one that the industry will pay attention to, go with downloads every time!
