  • What’s with the sound volume?

    Have found the discussions interesting. But am no longer following or listening as the recorded sound is just too low.

    I love this podcast! My favourite guests are Joseph and Sian. I love hearing what they have been cooking up at the River Cafe. Sian’s “pull out the stops” dishes always sound delicious, as do Joseph’s hearty, seasonal ideas. Thank you all :)

    I love the podcast and always look forward to Ruthie’s introductions and the interviews. Unfortunately the sound quality was very poor recently making it really hard to hear the guest.

Giulio Bertelli, Filmmaker

Giulio Bertelli, Filmmaker
Q: Tell the audience about the movie and what you wanted to do with that movie.
The film began with a personal desire to explore sport and its geopolitical dimensions, evolving from animation about a modern Joan of Arc to a multi-thread live-action narrative that examines how competition, national identity, and art intersect.
Bonus: Declan Kelly On Going Vegetarian
Q: How do you find it now?
He notes that vegetarianism has become much more common and feasible worldwide, with more options in most cities, though certain countries still feel more meat-centric. He also mentions enjoying a diverse array of cuisines, including Italian and Indian food, and even occasionally dining at steakhouses for their vegetable offerings.
Bonus: Declan Kelly On Going Vegetarian
Q: Fifteen, what was the path to vegetarianism? Was there one, or did you just, how did that happen?
Declan explains that he gradually stopped eating red meat after realizing he didn't like its taste, had experiences at a farm and abattoirs that influenced his view, and then stopped eating meat at a family meal without a dramatic, single decision. Over time, he adapted with other vegetables and proteins, realizing what his body needed as he grew older.
