By my count it's their 15th release. Three local gents who have received huge raves for their live and recorded work and are held in high international esteem, but many Australians would not have heard of them. The main reason is the same reason they are so great, that is they don't compromise their art. Usually their tracks are more than an hour long, the length of the whole CD, so naturally they don't get a lot of air play. The latest album/track is over 67´ long, so how will this improvised jazz piece for piano, double bass and drums translate into a Breakfast album of the week? The answer is on the radio. Sections of the performance will be played across the week in Breakfast with the whole piece making up the second hour of Radio National's Sound Quality late night, Friday 30 October with Tim Ritchie.

The sound of the digeridu, or Yidaki as it's known in North East Arnhem Land, has been adopted as a symbolic part of Australian culture. But how well do non-Indigenous Australians understand the spirituality of traditional Aboriginal music and its centrality to wellbeing? This Encounter travels from Darwin to North East Arnhem Land to attend the 10th Garma Festival of Traditional Culture. Held in Yolgnu country on the Gove Peninsula, it draws together over 1,000 people to watch, perform and celebrate traditional culture. Caring for the Soul of the Country examines the idea of cultural practice as central to wellbeing -- spiritual, social and physical. It looks in particular at ceremony -- a sacred crucible of the broader practice of 'caring for country' -- as vaccination against illness of the spirit and of the body. And it asks if a clearer understanding of the centrality of 'caring for country' might affect government policy on social provisions for Aboriginal communities. Note: The music in this program was performed by singers from the Gumatj, Maugn, Anindilyakwa and Kuninjku clans.

This is the first video released from a hour long interview with the famous "Bike Tourist Podcast." The podcast consisted of the interviewer Gabriele in Puerto Rico and us (Tim and Cindie Travis) while we were passing through Canberra Australia.

The question asked in this short video is: "How did the pictures you took in South America compare to what you saw first hand"?
