The Adelaide Show Podcast The weekly, Adelaide podcast that puts South Australian passion on centre stage covering wine, food, music, art, history and news.

A weekly podcast recorded in Adelaide that puts South Australian passion on centre stage. This is a podcast recorded in Adelaide, for Adelaide, but not always about Adelaide with a bit of history, wine, food, art, music, news, interviews, chat and quizzes. Along the way we also defend Adelaide's honour. It is lazy listening at its best! It began life as Another Boring Thursday Night In Adelaide bu

t now that Adelaide has shaken free from that badge of dishonour, we are free to focus on all the incredibly interesting, innovative and motivated people in this state. The Adelaide Show is produced by Steve Davis with voiceover support from Steve's daughters, AJ and Caitlin.

On behalf of the podcast that ends every episode with an original song by a South Australian artist, we feel the pain as outlined by Maisie frontman, Emmett Prime, lamenting the artistic cost of needing to divert energy from his craft to the shiny fool’s gold of social media glitter.

"There's so many songs that you don't know you could've written … that you never will because you spent a certain night doing just the social media," Prime said.

When even Music SA rejects you from its grassroots initiatives for not having enough social media presence, you know this poison has truly sunk into the industry. It seems everybody has conceded to the norm, rather than digging deeply for the courage and creativity to forge a new way.

Looks like we’ll need to stop in at Whyalla on the way through from Port Lincoln and buy some steel!

Whyalla's embattled steelworks has resumed steelmaking after shutting down for four months to allow for repairs at its blast furnace, the site's operator has said.

If you accidentally over roast a coffee blend, what do you do?

Ali from Fleurieu Roast Wholesale Coffee did the right thing. She bagged it up and waited for Steve Davis to arrive, the dark roast fiend from The Adelaide Show.

On a muggy, hot day, she toiled on the machines and then got Steve to test his senses.

The result? Might have to be a regular accident!!

You can hear the full episode, number 408, at The Adelaide Show website, on Spotify, or in any other podcast app. It's worth the search!

PS Tea people are also catered for in the discussion!

Check your chimney - Santa might have stuffed something down there early ... because we've caught him sampling Ali Pilborough's small-batch roasted coffee at Fleurieu Roast Wholesale Coffee!

Join us for Episode 408 where we discover why even old Saint Nick might trade his milk for an Ethiopian cold brew, learn the secrets of "blooming the grounds", and find out what happens when a master roaster gets distracted at second crack (spoiler: sometimes mistakes taste divine).

Plus The Saucermen take us careening down memory lane with their ode to the Devil's Elbow.

Is it possible to take coffee too seriously?

That’s part of the topic of the special Christmas Eve edition of the Adelaide Show podcast coming out later today featuring Ali Pilborough from Fleurieu Roast Wholesale Coffee and Wyverstone Tea.

Very few contentious issues relating to tea and coffee drinking escape this highly caffeinated conversation that will be poured down your chimney tonight!

You might remember that a few months ago, legendary singer/songwriter, John Schumann from John Schumann & The Vagabond Crew, helped me out of a pickle with a flat tyre.

To continue no longer being a drag on those around me, especially our guests, I got the guys from to come and supply four new babies and take away the old ones for recycling. All from The Adelaide Show Podcast driveway.

Reckon I'm ready to travel The Last Frontier, John!

Yes, yes it does. I'll be reading my copy over the Christmas break.

Paul was also on The Adelaide Show, discussing the book in episode 402 if you'd like an extra dose of historical colour and a little cheekiness!!

While we were meant to be experiencing a see-saw ending to the second Test between Australia and India at Adelaide Oval right now, that game petered out on Day 3. So, it's been left to us to capture the essence of summer in South Australia, and this episode has that in spades.

Join us as we dive into those perfect summer moments: sipping Bickford's Australia's new grown-up soft drinks (with a fascinating dive into why SA's lime cordial is uniquely brown), yarn-bombing at the flicks with Port Adelaide's radical knitting community Yarn Trader (yes, that's a thing), and letting Dr. D and Fergus Maximus - Singer/Storyteller transport us to those balmy Somerton nights when the shark patrol's final call mingles with the sound of children's laughter and the tempting jingle of the ice cream van.

From Chris Illman's revelation about the 10-year quest to perfect cloudy lemonade, to Tanya Keen's insights about why some people are deemed "knit-worthy" while others never receive a second handmade gift, Episode 407 weaves together the threads that make an Adelaide summer unique. Who knew our craft scene had such a rebellious underbelly, or that our soft drinks could spark such fascinating historical tales?

Chris Illman reveals Bickford's secret brown lime cordial history, while Port Adelaide's radical knitter Tanya Keen demystifies the underground world of cinema crafting.

Getting into the spirit of things. Maybe City of Adelaide (next time it has funds for the precinct) could replace the walk/don’t walk figures on pedestrian lights near Adelaide Oval with batters?

Hmm, someone who made this map has never been to South Australia or listened to The Adelaide Show Podcast.

As much as June can be cold and wet and still enjoyable (think open fires in pubs and cellar doors) our Autumn and Spring are both amazing seasons for visitors and late summer features our festivals.

And part of the magic of this place is sitting on a beach, especially a regional one at the height of summer, taking the odd dip, playing beach cricket, and having fish and chips while being stalled by seagulls.

Steve has emerged from the shadows of the Dunstan Playhouse and revealed his review of Jack Maggs.

It all boils down to expectations, he says.

If you set your expectations at "good", you'll be in for a great night out with Jack Maggs by State Theatre Company of South Australia. This reimagined

Here's another snippet from my chat with Peggy Byrne from Bowerbird Design Market. This bit came after I started warming towards buying thoughtfully from the market and I pondered, aloud, whether or not the best stallholders were the ones who saw their appearance like a performance. Yes, it was an eclectic discussion!
