Delving with Des

IN this episode of Delving with Des, we will be chatting with a lovely young man called Dhavve Manoharan. We talk about his interesting name, his journey from Malaysia to Port Macquarie, and his discovery of Multiple Sclerosis which affeects the brain and our nervous system.

We discuss the illness and its impact on a lovely young man.

In this episode of "Delving with Des" I will be chatting with the interesting Mike Woof. We talk about his models (www.thatmodelcar.com), his work alongside "Answers in Genesis", Christians and Evangelism - "if not you, then who..?", and then about the new monthly show on DWD "The Woofy Report" where we will discuss the affairs of the times.

This is our 1st show of 2026 and we have the delightful Kelly Carter with us. Kelly is a lovely lady with a blended family of six kids - yes, six.

She is a wife to Craig, and a successful Mortgage Broker in Port Macquarie. In this show we talk about her early life, life lessons around our finances ,and things we really need to learn and adopt early in life.

Great Conversation, and great lady.

This week on the show, I am chatting with Tony Cosgayon who was born in the Philippines and migrated with his family to Australia in the 70's.

He has lived his life in Australia as a surfer and now runs a business building surfboards.

Interesting guy, and we delve into the details of building surfboards.

What a great joy it was to interview Bruce Blackwell, who has done so much in his life including being a missionary in Peru for seven years.

Along with his wife, Marsha, who also trained in nursing, and their three children lived and traveled around Peru, the Andes and the Amazon as missionaries.

He has built private hospitals, served as a Chaplain to the surfing community and even had his own face to face meeting with a shark..!!

Join me as we chat with Brice about his life and his experiences.

In this fascinating second show, we talk further with Jessica Korenic who, along with her husband, left the Jehovah Witness organisation and left family and close friends behind. We talk about Jessica's newfound Christian faith and how she deals with the hurt and pain associated with leaving such an organisation.

In this episode of Delving with Des, the first part of two, I will be chatting with Jessica Korenic about her life in the Jehovah Witness religion and her struggles with some of the rules and practices of that belief system.
