In this episode Kevin Poulton speaks to Peggy Mahy, the former Principal of The Scots School Albury, about her love of teaching, some of the key challenges faced along the way and why this region has always felt like home.

Kevin Poulton discovers Danny is a family man with a big heart, a modest opinion of his achievements, a hard worker that loves a beer and a yarn! Although Danny has achieved a Top 10 hit in the Country Music charts alongside Keith Urban, he claims that his story is not written yet... and he still has big plans for the future. Danny talks about the challenges of building a business, and how pleased he is to have finally struck the right balance.

Kevin Poulton chats to his old Albury High School buddy, Rugby League legend, Adrian Purtell. Adrian shares with us the highs and lows of starting his sporting career at such a young age, and opens up about the shock of having a heart attack following a match in Leeds - and how this changed his perspective on life.

Martin's Albury has been an integral part of the Albury Wodonga community since 1932, and Rosalie has been the driving force behind the growth of the business, particularly following the sudden death of her husband in 1984. Although very modest about her accomplishments, Rosalie was inducted into the Albury Wodonga Chamber Business Awards Hall of Fame in 2014 & went on to be nominated as NSW Regional Business Woman of the Year in 2015. Rosalie shares with Kevin Poulton some of the key highlights and challenges of her amazing journey.

He was one of the original funny men on Australian TV - back in the days of Fast Forward and then Full Frontal, alongside Eric Bana, Julia Morris and Kitty Flanagan (just to name a few!). Best known for his hilarious John Howard impersonation, his distinctive laugh instantly takes us right back to the ‘80s and is incredibly infectious. He is John Walker ... and he is now a Beechworth local working in Wodonga – and absolutely loves it here!

Kevin Poulton talks with Matt Daly about the business that he and his wife Karen started from their picturesque winery in Bethanga, Posh Plonk Wine. Matt and Karen’s story is a great example of how passionate people can create something uniquely special (and successful) from a just an idea.

Kevin talks to the inspirational Eliza Ault-Connell, who tells of her battle with Meningococcal as a teenager, how she learned to not only walk again, but become a Paralympic athlete that represents Australia around the world. If that's not enough, Eliza juggles her training and competing with her work as the Director of Meningococcal Australia and being a mother of three beautiful children.

David Martin's journey is a fascinating one... he is a Vietnam War Veteran, Order of Australia Medal recipient & CEO of Murray Valley Centre. Despite all that he has achieved, David is passionate about paying tribute to and the importance of remembering those who were here before us, who fought for our nation, and how we cannot take it for granted that Australia is the lucky country.

With more than 20 years of experience in the media industry, and her love of the region, Kylie King has built a successful national career in sports journalism from this regional location. Key to Kylie's success has been her ability to adapt her journalism skills in new ways in the digital world - with the Border Café, a locally owned and produced online magazine for Albury Wodonga and surrounds, that shines a light on everything that’s great about our beautiful region. She also sits alongside our very own Kevin Poulton as the co-host of 1494 2AY's Kylie & Kev Show (although this interview was conducted back in November 2018 prior to the launch of the show).

Kevin Poulton talks all things craft beer with the Founder of Bridge Road Brewers, Ben Kraus, at his Beechworth Brewery. At 24 Ben gained experience working at a brewery – whilst studying how to brew beer online. He then started putting his knowledge to practice in his parents garage - with the help of a loan they secured for him. Ben and his wife Maria were just 25... and the rest is history! Bridge Road Brewers has now created over 50 different beers – and their constant challenge is to refine their portfolio down to a dozen. Find out how Ben turned his passion for craft beer into a highly successful business - not to mention a thriving tourist attraction for our region!
