Aislin Jones: Skeet Shooting (Lakes Entrance, VIC)

You may not have heard of Aislin Jones before but I challenge you not to impressed by this woman’s integrity, maturity and goal setting ability! Aislin will be competing in the Olympic Skeet Clay Target Shooting Event and then ever-so-casually will also take herself off to run a her first ever Marathon a matter of days later. As a child Aislin was one of those children picking up the broken clay targets at the local gun club on the weekend – as soon as she hit the legal shooting age of 12 – she was into it. That year she met her current coach – and mapped out an 8 year plan with the Tokyo Olympics as the goal. Talk about impressive life goals! Paris is her second Olympics - but she’s incredibly level headed about the whole journey reiterating that she constantly reminds herself that life is not this sport – and that she hopes to be in the game for many more Olympics to come. This is a Manson Podcasting production in partnership with Rabobank Australia. Production assistance is by Alice Moffitt For more stories of Olympic athletes from rural and regional Australia follow us @mansonpodcasting on Instagram.

Jack O'Brien: Rowing (Walgett, NSW)

One man to look out for in the Opening Ceremony – and in the Australian Men’s Rowing 8 Boat is 26 year old Jack O’Brien from Walgett in north west NSW Since the middle of May he’s been training, lapping, perfecting his style, mind, muscles and mentality, in various training camps and competitions across Europe – as the Australian Rowing Team works and works and works to give itself the best chance at a medal in Paris. Time away from home is nothing new for Jack – who went away to boarding school at the end of year 5, aged 11. Even so, the farm is his ‘happy place’ – where he has the freedom to get away from the world of Rowing - and ponder life, with the comforts of his family being close by. There’s a definite family vibe to Jack – and he loves the Walgett community too. Who’ve been known to go crazy on the billboard creation side of things in the past! This is a Manson Podcasting Production done in partnership with Rabobank Australia. Production assistance from Alice Moffitt Host is Skye Manson For race updates and more information about rural and regional athletes competing at the Paris Games follow along @mansonpodcasting on Instagram.

Paddock to Paris: Patrick Tiernan, Marathon (Toowoomba, QLD)

Patrick Tiernan blew everyone's expectations when he was amongst the lead pack for the 10,000m track event at the Tokyo Olympics. Less than 100m from the finish line as the pace continued to increase, Pat stumbled to his hands. Many Australians can remember watching on in devestation for him, but in a moment of I-don't-know-what, he got up and willed himself over the finish line, still achieving a Personal Best (PB) time. Pat says Australians should be proud of how they embraced him in this moment and ever since. Pat is back for the Paris Olympics, but this time in the Marathon, a race he's been working towards for all of his running life - and one he says is much more enjoyable to run! This is Pat's third Olympics. His 90 year old Nan (his greatest hero) will be leading the cheer squad in his home town of Toowoomba, backed by her 24 grandchildren, all his cousins. This is a Manson Podcasting production in partnership with Rabobank Australia. Production Assistance by Alice Moffitt.

Paddock to Paris: Shannan Davey, Boxing (Narrabri, NSW)

Shannan Davey has spent the last couple of weeks exploring Paris while competing in the Olympics. It’s a far cry from the life he was leading in the regional town of Narrabri at the age of 10. He was regularly fighting in the playground, was hyperactive in the classroom and loved to eat pizza on the couch. Two years later – his brother told him to put the pizza down and come with him, to the boxing gym. Six weeks later he had his first fight in nearby town, Cobar. This story, the journey. IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY. There have been many falling out’s, trouble getting recognition because he was from the country, travel, money, eating, so many things. But Shannan Davey – the boy with his roots firmly bound in Narrabri – has triumphed – and he’s not done yet – he’s so excited for Australia’s boxing team at Paris. He reckons it’s going to change the face of boxing in Australia – and that’s why he continues to work so hard. This is a Manson Podcasting production in partnership with Rabobank Australia. Production assistance by Alice Moffitt. Follow Shannan and other rural and regional athelete's journeys @mansonpodcasting on Instagram.

Sophie Weeding is making her mark in the world of beautiful accomodation

Today’s guest Sophie Weeding is rural girl born and bred making her make as a mark as super talent bed and breakfast creator in Tasmania. Born of late nights scrolling on Pinterest while breastfeeding her babies – Soph realised she could channel her skills in design and branding in a venture recreating old homes near her farm in Tasmania. To-date she has three super gorgeous accommodation options under her belt, The Bruny Boathouse, Raffah House and a new addition - a beach shack on the east coast of Tasmania Sophie is a full time mum, secretary of the local Agricultural Show and her love project is the renovation and management of these three Bed and Breakfasts. Sophie lives in Oatlands in Tasmania with her husband Nick and her two children Willie and Archie Soph actually great up in the lush landscape of Western Victoria, so I wondered how on earth she ended up in Tassie in the first place.

On how Coles buys its Australian meat

This episode is certainly one to share with the farmer in your life. (Not to say that it’s not uber interesting to all of our regular listeners) Maria Crawford is a country girl, who’s progressed through the ag industry - with a keen and detailed interest in how supply chains operate. This interest and obvious skill has landed her in her current position as the innovation and sustainability manager for Coles livestock. To me, a conversation with a female in a position like this a golden opportunity for me to be able to ask the questions so you, as farming families, or as a person living in a community supported by agriculture, can get an idea of the bigger picture And Maria delivers. This podcast is a wonderful insight into what kind of meat Coles buys from our farmers and there’s a lot of talk specifically about carbon emissions and how Coles is trying out some new things to try and reach the industry goal of being carbon neutral by 2030. Company is produced in partnership with Rabobank Australia. You can find all our shows or sign-up for our free newsletter at mansonpodcasting.com

Tambo Teddies a true resilience in the bush story

Today we head to north, and then West, to the main street of Tambo in Queensland. To meet the current co-owner of Tambo Teddies – a beautiful bush business born of adversity – as in when the price for wool was taking a pounding in 1992, over 40 years ago now. “A brain storming session during a workshop developed the idea that Tambo could assist the wool industry, encourage tourists and create employment by making unique teddy bears from wool pelts and stuff them with wool.” 40 years later, Tambo Teddies remains. Its current owners are Tammy Johnson and Alison Shaw who I speak with today.

Jess Webb has done the numbers and wool's future looks brightest

Before buying her familys farm near Uralla, Jess and her husband crunched the numbers and found that wool had the most exciting and financially beneficial future. They did not get into wool for emotional reasons, but because its future was the most viable of any sutiable agricultural pursuit in their part of Australia. We love Jess Webb's story because it is reflective of so many everyday women working on wool farms, she's a mum to two young children, she makes business decisions and is a representitive on three Boards including the locally run Fleece to Fashion organisation. Ticket sales for Fleece to Fashion, 10 & 11 September 2021 go on sale in June. Find out more information here.
