CLAIRE TAYLOR

In this episode we talk about where the anti-farming sentiment began, not just in Australia, but around the world? And most importantly, what can we do about it?

ROSE PHILIPZEN & ELLA CREDLIN

No matter what specific industry you’re in, you’re not going to get far without the ability to get people working together towards a shared goal. None of this is possible without effective leadership, and that’s the topic we’re tackling in this episode. How do you define your leadership?

NIKKI DAVEY

In this episode we talk about the reality of startups and that most fail. Sometimes you can even have the market fit, a brilliant founder and a popular platform... and things still don't work out.

ALICE BYRNES & PROF JACKI SHERMER

Farm life can sometimes be romanticised, with the wide open spaces, animals and the freedom to do what you want. You might love the bush and your community…but are you actually happy?

DR BRIDGET CLANCY & REBECCA BRADSHAW

In this episode we talk about the perception that rural healthcare means second-best or second-rate. Whereas the opposite is actually true. Rural medical students often out-perform their city-based counterparts on standardised tests.

KARIN STARK & SUSAN FINDLAY TICKNER

Some renewables, such as wind, seem to be particularly controversial in a few parts of the country right now. This episode is not diving into that. Instead, it’s looking at how we design renewable energy projects, to ensure farmers and communities have the value of renewables delivered back to them.

NATALIE COLLARD

There's sometimes a feeling in agriculture, that “climate” and “climate action” is a dirty word. Despite ‘the weather’ being every farmer’s favourite topic, the word “climate” can be seen as divisive. And you'd certainly better not talk about “climate action!” However, this episode’s guest is not afraid of “climate action”… and also wants the best for farmers. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

ALANA MOLLER & LOUISE MARTIN

It can be a hard case to argue… that your children should be subsidised to attend a private boarding school. But when you live in rural and remote Australia, boarding school is really the only option.

It’s a support group that started forming 13 years ago, for mothers whose babies have died.

ASHLEY MOLLOY

Ashley has been a police officer, worked in marketing, built her own home and now designs jewellery. Each chapter seems very different on face value. But Ashley sees her life as a continuity of growth; in skills, experience and understanding what’s right for each chapter of life.

SARAH NOLET & EBONY GREAVES

We are hearing more and more about the use of agtech for precision farming tech, for water level monitoring, soil carbon accounting, and so much more. So where do you even start? And is it even worth the time and effort?
