This interview was recorded with my Nokia N95 mobile phone, the quality is a bit lower than my other podcasts because of this reason. You’ll also notice some blips of silence, in particular during a key moment at the end of the interview. I was suppose to say donkey, haha- you’ll just have to listen to it to hear where I was meant to say that.

UNCOVERED! Radio 97-2MW Interview of Ron Barassi by Robert Bowman in 1981
Oct 6th
![]()
A few weeks ago, I uncovered a box of old tapes my dad had kept for years. These old tapes were recordings of interviews, news spots and sports commentary my dad, (Bob Bowman as he was known as at the time) had done during his years as the sporting co-coordinator at Gold Coast Radio 97-2MW.
The picture above is from the newsletter distributed in February 1982. If anyone knows the Tweed on the Gold Coast, they would know of the shopping centre referred to in the ‘News Flash’. There is also an image of my dad on the back sports page of the newsletter.
One of the first tapes that I uncovered was an Interview my dad did with one of the other commentators (Phil), with Australian Football legend and Icon, Ron Barassi. This was an interview done in 1981, and I was able to track that due to the reference to a question my dad asked Ron about him changing clubs during his coaching career.
Dad asked a few different questions, and the key focus of most of those questions were about Australian football in Queensland. It was very interesting to hear this now that Australian football has such a great audience up here. Interesting responses about how Aussie rules could penetrate the audience up here but also in regard to Australian sport in general can get better national-wide exposure. There were some interesting comments about the influences of Soccer in Australia.
I’ve digitised the interview into a podcast, so please feel free to listen to it, it goes for about 13 minutes.

Mother Maria – Fashion Photography
Jun 26th

CHECK OUT THE FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY PHOTOS HERE
I did a fashion photography shoot up at Buderim on the Sunshine Coast a couple of weeks ago for my new friend Katie Gannon from Mother Maria. I also did some photos for Katie’s sister Krista from Australian Flavour.
The shot above was a spontaneous shot where the model Phoebe was standing there keeping warm from the cool breeze through the trees. The lighting and composition was already set and I had to just take the shot. If you have a look at the gallery you will see that there is another version where you can see the sun peek through the trees. I like them both equally.
The location was at a park at Buderim, with some great big trees all lined up and it gave some really interesting (and hard to work with) lighting. I used an external flash bounced off a reflector board most of the day to give just enough fill whilst still allowing natural lighting.

I use my Canon 5D and a 85mm 1.8 Lens most of the day and I was able to get some really sharp photos, particularly when the sun went down and we were getting some shots outside of the park and in the playground and in front of the trees. The shot above is an example of that.

The photo above is with both models at the end, and Katie next to me on the left and her sister Krista the right in the photo.
It was great working with these girls, they made it a fun day to shoot and it’s great getting to know Katie and Krista.

Podcast Interview with Katie Gannon of Mother Maria
Jun 25th
“The quirky and bright label Mother Maria presented it’s first range in Spring 2006. The range was born from designer Katie Gannon’s love for vintage fabrics, blending retro prints with bold new colours and timeless sillouettes of era’s gone by. The name was born from Katie’s late polish grandmother, Maria Duchnicz, who was always an apple in her eye.” -MotherMaria.com.au
Last weekend I interviewed Katie Gannon of Mother Maria on the Sunshine Coast. I was up there to do a photo shoot with Katie, after being in contact with her via email after the Ethical Fashion Showcase that I documented earlier this year.
As this was only my second ever podcast interview, I’m still learning the process and working with my interviewing skills. There was a lot of traffic noise during this interview and I “ummed and ahh” too much during my questioning. Nevertheless I know I’m learning and I enjoy doing my interviewing in one take. My introduction had to be redone due to overly excessive noise and wind. That’s me sitting in my l lounge room if you download the video.
I hope you enjoy this interview, make sure you check out mothermaria.com.au and add Mother Maria as you friend on myspace here
