  • Everything you need to know about Adelaide!

    Wow, talk about consistency and putting in the work! Steve has been putting out a weekly episode since 2014 and from the start the quality seems to have always been there. Have only listened fully to some of the more recent episodes and you can tell the energy, enthusiasm and overflowing joy is still there. I have never heard anyone be so enthusiastic and eloquent about wine and their state!

  • Great to be to be a local

    Nigel and Steve what a great pair. As a proud South Australian, great to hear 'local' stories and the long form chats provide for a very relaxed format. Those that like a tipple, there is a 'Drink of the Week' that comes with delightful audio tasting-notes.

    Best is the research and thoughtfulness put into every epsiode The Adelaide Show does.
