    439. Graham Steele - "I Still Call Darwin Home"

    439. Graham Steele - "I Still Call Darwin Home"

    Graham Steele was a guest on the podcast in March of 2020 just as the whole world was shutting down due to Covid-19. Graham filmed a video for us at the time on Rodeo Drive during the middle of the day on a weekday and there was nobody there, the scene was very unusual.



    Since Covid has now lifted and things have pretty much returned to normal we thought we'd catch up with Graham again to find out how life has been treating since we last spoke.



    Graham has extensive experience in the film & TV industry as a producer and he has worked with some big names in the industry including National Geographic, Disney and the BBC to name a few.



    Aside from being based in Beverley Hills where Graham and his wife have raised their kids and where they've lived for around 25 years, Graham still calls Darwin home.



    On this episode of the podcast we hear what Graham has been doing since we last spoke and he also gives us some insight into a couple of projects he's been working on recently.

Woolfgang VonTruffles ,

Excellent listening

An excellent podcast providing easy listening and generous insight of both the remarkable and unremarkable Territorians.

Weekends with Walshy confirms your suspicions that the NTG is indeed corrupt, it’s department heads rotten and it’s tri service nothing but a circus and abuse of power of which it wields on behalf of the government of the day.

Listeners will be left slacked jaw after hearing the absurdity of government spending of taxpayers money, and equally outraged that mainstream media have delightfully chosen to ignore the real issues plaguing the NT and instead plaster crocs or cocks across their front pages and social media streams.

Quality listening un censored real listening keep up the great work guys

One of the finite number of no spin info going

An eclectic and diverse range of interviewees which offers a truly unique perspective on the Territory that tells more of a story than the ‘Crocodile Dundee’ image ever will! The recurring Saturday segment, which arguably could feature in satire (even though it’s all facts) adds a whole other level to this podcast! Definitely worth an hour, or two, or three out of your day! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
