Running Sheet: Those Dry Stone Walls Of South Australia 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:04:05 SA Drink Of The Week The South Australian Drink Of The Week this week is the brand new Raspberry and Finger Lime Gin from 23rd Street Distillery. This gin is a really interesting blend of juicy raspberries and tangy finger lime. After soaking the blue juniper berries they then start the vapor distil process, creating a spicy, aromatic gin base. Then they add in the raspberries and finger lime, which soak for about three weeks, tasting daily to get that balance right. The gin's smooth and fruity, and its recommended to mix it with tonic or soda and garnish with lime and mint. Our guest taster, John Gledhill from Gledhill Vignerons, mixed the drinks with Bickfords Soda and Bickfords Dry Tonic, and then pulled a rabbit out of the hat, mixing it with Fever Tree Raspberry Tonic. He also agrees with the good people at 23rd Street, that this would go very very well with dark chocolate. 00:18:30 Bruce Munday, Those Dry Stone Walls Revisited South Australia is blessed with beautiful stone – stone with colour, texture and light. Some of our stone structures have stood for 150 years, never touched by mortar. So, in this episode, Bruce Munday returns to The Adelaide Show to share the stories behind these stone walls and the people who built them and commissioned them. His book is, Those Dry Stone Walls Revisited, out through Wakefield Press. If Bruce sounds familiar, he was last on our show in 2017, discussing the history of rabbits in South Australia and beyond. 01:03:50 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature Sincerely Me by Hayli. Hayli was first on The Adelaide Show in episode 369, but has released a new single since then, Sincerely Me, which is very very raw. In fact, it comes with an explicit tag so if you're listening with kids or you'd prefer not to have your sensibilities pushed, you might want to click through to listen to some of her other tracks instead. As you'll hear in our interview, Hayli is a dynamic artist who pursues great clarity in in her stories, with the lyrics matching the melody and performance. So, it only follows that when she is unpacking a story of betrayal, that the passion and the rawness go off the scale. I've since discovered why Hayli was so generous in her interview and so clear in her willingness to dive into her storytelling through song; it's because she wants all of us to embrace music culture , whether we're adults or whether we're kids who are thinking about learning an instrument. Hayli, who is the music teacher at Seaview High School, says the most important part to of music is that people learn the value of self expression and teamwork. And she must be doing something right because her students have nominated her as the ARIA Music Teacher of the year. You can watch the nomination video with Sarah McLeod, and you can also vote for her, once a day, between now and November 13, 2024.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/...
