  The 9pm Not Quite All of the Trains with David Feng

  Jul 2, 202654 minS19

  I like trains. Do you like trains? I hope so, because today we’re talking about trains. There’s a strong focus on China and on high-speed trains, and our guest on the internet from Beijing is Chinese-Swiss international rail visionary, it says on his YouTube channel, David Feng. In this episode we discuss China’s high-speed rail network and some of the country’s metros. But we also cover high-speed rail in other countries, why Australia doesn’t have any (yet), signalling, food, and more. If you’re interested in maybe meeting up with David and me in Sydney on 14 June, please indicate your interest by Wednesday 8 July.

  The 9pm Hometown Visit to Gawler

  Jun 17, 202650 minS19

  Today's episode is a bit different. It's more personal. I, Stilgherrian, was born in Gawler, South Australia, and lived there from ages 11 to about 17. Last year I visited the town with my good friend Snarky Platypus, and he asked me some pertinent questions. In this episode, there's memories of school, some history of Gawler, a rambling chat about science fiction and fantasy, television, music, and much more — including the true story of Australia's favourite condiment, chicken salt. The core material for this podcast was recorded on 29 June 2025.
