Show Notes
The March Long Weekend in this part of the world has always been a big one. We welcome a LOT of people to the area for the Robinvale Euston 80 Ski Race! This week, Mitch came in to have a chat about pulling the event together after a two year hiatus because of covid, and you may not hear it in his voice, but he's clearly a bit excited about it. We've also got a community basketball match between the Mildura Heat V Robinvale Basketball Association Men from 2pm on Saturday. Coach Calvin came in for a chat about that and about his role at MVAC heading up the men's and youth services which is awesome and it means he'll be a lot more involved now within our community. Phil is obviously in to talk about the Top Fuel Championship round at Mildura's Sunset Strip this weekend and to be reminded that he's been beaten by Jade TWICE on that very track. Jack also checks the Dong for the first time in a while and fills us in on the market this weekend and some future events coming up! Read more on our website and sign up to become a VIP here.

THIS PODCAST WAS RECORDED ON TUESDAY 6TH DECEMBER - BEFORE FURTHER ROAD CLOSURES OCCURRED ON WEDNESDAY. A further update will occur in the coming days.
It's been a while between podcasts, but given there's potentially a flood emergency on our hands and this is a community service, it seemed like a good idea to get Senior Sarge Longy in for a chat about floods and common sense.
Just a quick debrief and catch up with Mildura Rural City Council Mayor Liam Wood. These chat's are always pretty relaxed and casual which I think is important so we can inform people on Council processes, opportunities and issues without the obstacle of formal language. I know being approachable is as important to Mayor Wood as it is to me and these chats are exactly that. Easy, approachable real time conversations.
It's all about the Jesse's and the sport this week... still. Jesse Medina was a main event fight at the Demolition event a few weeks ago and things didn't go his way but in this episode we really get into the sports psychology and figure out why. He's also looking for another fight before the end of the year before he goes looking for a rematch so watch this space. The other Jesse this week is Jesse Zaffina who has my full admiration. This young man is becoming an Ambulance Community Officer so we chat about that and why he didn't end up in the Army like he'd planned after year 12. Then we get to Seamus who has escaped the first round of delisting's before trade period despite only playing less than half the season. We're hoping for the best for your Seamo.
With the SFNL Grand Final tomorrow we thought it only proper to have Donny in to talk about Under 16's and Tina Zappia in to talk about the under 13's. Jane & Pete Aikman called in to talk about B grade netball, tennis and the crops.
