NOOSA NOW 

RYAN FOGG.    BLUE SKY DESIGN AND BUILD

Ryan Fogg, local born and raised, second generation builder talks to Noosa Now about his family's construction and design business connection to the Noosa district. Through his company Blue Sky Designs he enjoys working closely with his customers, Ryan says. It's important to listen to their aspirations as much as constructing their home to the highest standards. After all Ryan loves to think he is building a home and not just a market asset. With his family's long standing association within the local building industry Ryan is able to share thoughtful insights as to the "Noosa style" of modern homes and the future direction to Noosa's growth.

THREAT OF NUCLEAR WAR - REAL OR NOT?

True to their brief that no topic will be left untouched, in this episode Keith and Lee discuss the possible threat of nuclear war as the conflict in The Ukraine gradually escalates. The discussion was prompted by an interview George Galloway conducted with Scott Ritter. Scott is a former United States Marine Corps intelligence officer and former United Nations Special Commission weapons inspector with considerable international experience dealing with nuclear weapons. A man whose views on this matter, Keith believes can be taken seriously. Lee doesn't agree and as the sparks started to fly there was absolutely no need to get either of them started. Both were fired up. The interview well worth listening to can be viewed here:

THE OLYMPIC GAMES - A FUTURE OR NOT?

Every four years the Olympic Games, the ultimate world sporting event, comes around via the host nation and our global TV screens. The athletes of the world's nations come together to celebrate sport, international fraternity and goodwill. At least that's the ideal - for despite astonishing levels of sporting performance the Olympics are now somewhat tarnished with the controversy of performance-enhancing drugs, politics and astronomical costs. With the Commonwealth Games laced with similar woes and unable to find its next host, can we now ask if the Olympics might be facing the same fate? Is its used-by date fast approaching and are the games still valid? And what of the proposed Enhanced Games scheduled for 2025? In their own inimitable style, Keith and Lee discuss. 

As an extra bonus the boys share the following link to the Aussie masters of sports podcasting - the one and only Roy Slaven and H. G. Nelson! Broadcasting from the Paris Olympiad titled, "People, Medals and Cheese."  Well, what else would you expect from those two?

US POLITICS (WELL, TRUMP - AGAIN!) AND THE BEST AND WORST DAY OF OUR LIVES.

In this episode, Keith and Lee set out to have a light-hearted discussion concerning the best and worst day of their lives but didn't get too far as the hot topic of the USA's political circus reared its bewildering head. Well, let's face it - with bombastic Trump and bumbling Biden, it's like a train wreck you can't take your eyes off. Not that Lee minded, he's obsessed with it all. Keith, as usual, had a bit to say, so he didn't really mind either. Although, sensible guy that he is, Keith did eventually steer the podcast back to the topic of the week. Which was the best and worst day of their lives. And once again, another fun and entertaining episode.

FIRST LOVES AND BROKEN HEARTS

Very few of us don't have a first love that we can easily recall many years after the event. Whether puppy love or the real thing it remains an unforgettable memory. Some lucky couples go on to spend their lives together the whole way through. They grow into each other. Love does that to a person, it joins you deeply with your chosen other. Then of course, when that bond is broken for whatever reason, a profound sense of loss can be overwhelming. If it swamps you with sorrow your heart certainly can be broken. And that is a whole other experience. One that you may or may not get over. In this episode, Lee and Keith share their own experiences as much as their objective observations.

THE BEATLES, THE ROLLING STONES, 

Pop Music, or more correctly, popular music is just that - popular. It is the music for the masses. That doesn't mean it cannot be great music. Or even prevent some of its songs and performers earning the tag of being classics within its own genre. The Beatles, of course, will always be held in such high regard. Probably The Rolling Stones as well. Snoop Dog and Taylor Swift might not be included although their musical influence does reflect their time and era. Keith and Lee have fun on this episode.

The implications of saying YES or NO

These are simple words but can hold weighty consequences when said too easily to the wrong question. Sometimes saying yes not only pleases others but gives them an advantage that may leave you disadvantaged - or living with an unexpected and unwanted outcome. Plus damages our reputation as a "soft touch" that others can take advantage of. Similarly, saying no too often and too easily can also have negative consequences, It can alienate others who then form a negative view of us. And, as Lee discusses could prohibit us from the benefits of sharing with others.

CONSPIRACY THEORIES - TRUE OR FALSE?

You don't have to go too far these days to hear about conspiracy theories. From the weird and wacky, to naming names - with a certainty that something shadowy and sinister is about to take control of us all. Or even eliminate a vast percentage of us. It may come as a surprise to many that they aren't new. The popular spread of conspiracy theories first appeared around 120 years ago in Russia, then in the 1970's and now again in the early 2020's. Same theories but different players. However, there are agendas with the elite powers who run our Western countries. But what are they? Keith and Lee explore.

Heroes and Villians.

It's said that it's best not to meet your heroes as you may be disappointed when you suddenly realize how human they are. And, certainly, most of us don't want to meet the villains that loom large in our minds. But we all have them. All sorts of heroes for all sorts of reasons - and the same regarding our villains. In this episode, Keith and Lee discuss their heroes and villains and ask a few questions such as: why do we have them and does a hero need a villain to be heroic?
