First Wine of the Day 4 featuring Professor Ian Lowe, The Cartridge Family, and Katie Noonan

"We might not have achieved what we wanted to, but by Jesus we tried."This episode was recorded live from the Woodford Folk Festival as part of First Wine of the Day. Day four, and Harley Breen and Nikki Britton are running on fumes, festival feeling, and a very good chilled red. They'd already cried before the show started — two men had just got married on the hill, and their friends sang to them. That's Woodford.Bar manager and sommelier Linus Wilson opens with a lesson in Beaujolais-style winemaking, Professor Ian Lowe delivers one of the most quietly galvanising conversations about our relationship with the natural world you'll hear anywhere, The Cartridge Family play two songs about tolerance and mismatched love, and Katie Noonan — in her 30th year at Woodford — closes the show with a performance dedicated to Quandamooka Country.This episode is for:Anyone who needs a reminder that the natural world is worth fighting for — and that the fight is winnableAnyone who loves a love story between two people who probably shouldn't work — but absolutely doAnyone who's ever cried at a Folk Festival and didn't even try to stopDive in to hear about:The hoop pine Ian Lowe planted at the first Woodford Folk Festival — now standing 20 metres tallWhy Professor Ian Lowe believes we're pulling random bricks out of the wall of life — and what we owe the generations coming after usKatie Noonan's 30th Woodford, her 30th album, and a song performed on the 30th of December — some things are just meant to happenTo come to the Woodford Folk Festival and FWOD next year visit: https://woodfordfolkfestival.com/FOR MORE:Katie Noonan: https://www.katienoonan.com.auThe Cartridge Family: https://www.instagram.com/the_cartridge_family_bandProfessor Ian Lowe: https://experts.griffith.edu.au/9862-ian-lowe Harley Breen: https://www.harleybreen.com.auNikki Britton: https://www.instagram.com/thenikkibrittonCREDITS:Hosts: Harley Breen, Nikki BrittonGuests: Professor Ian Lowe, Rusty Berther & The Cartridge Family, Katie Noonan, Linus WilsonProducer: Bree Hickson-JamiesonExecutive Producers: Benny Wallington, Georgia ShawArtwork: Hannah RoseSocial Media: Eliza CowanAssistant: Madeline CorcoranCamera Operators: Amelie Barham, Ben 'Tofty' ToftEditing: Amelie BarhamMusic by: The East PointersRecorded on Jinibara Country#RadioWoodfordia #KatieNoonan #IanLowe #TheCartridgeFamily #WoodfordFolkFestival #HarleyBreen #NikkiBritton #LivePodcast #Woodfordia #Biodiversity #FolkMusic #Conservation #Comedy #LiveMusicJoin the Woodfordian Citizens:Perks -- Bi-Monthly emails sharing the ins and outs of the world of Woodfordia and the people who keep the heart beating.- Special invites to special events on site at Woodfordia.
