Danny Hoyland is back for another freezing Saturday morning in Ipswich, with a packed edition of Wake Up With Danny Hoyland featuring health, science, history, food, gardening, sport and plenty of trademark banter.
Dr Deb Mills takes a closer look at Q fever and why Ipswich and other areas with livestock and agricultural industries can be higher-risk locations. She explains how the infection spreads, the symptoms to watch for, treatment options and why vaccination can be particularly important for people working around animals and abattoirs.
Ranger Nick checks in from the Casino Markets with a very different camp-oven creation — homemade liverwurst in a jar — taking listeners through preparing the meat, liver and spices before preserving the finished spread.
Horticulturist Paul Plant reveals a surprising winner in the biodiversity stakes, explaining why a well-planted home garden can contain greater biodiversity than farmland — and even some bushland. He also explains the enormous role healthy soil, insects, birds and pollinators play in the backyard ecosystem.
Resident scientist Dr Janine Young gets particularly excited about an extraordinary discovery involving ancient flatworms whose immune cells can literally explode like microscopic bombs. The newly observed process, dubbed “ruptosis”, destroys nearby cells and bacteria and could offer fascinating clues about the evolution of immune systems.
Food scientist Jeremy Ryland explores the history — and possible decline — of the drive-through, from its American beginnings to fast food, bottle shops and even drive-through funeral homes.
History Out There’s Harold Peacock comes live from Barcaldine with the story of Colin “Bull” Thornton, the Ipswich Rugby League star whose controversial departure for Barcaldine in 1936 was blamed by some for costing Ipswich the Bulimba Cup. Bull later returned to become an Ipswich and Queensland representative captain, making his story an extraordinary piece of local Rugby League history.
Sunday Mail journalist Jane Keogh takes listeners back to Brisbane’s colourful Warana Festival, remembering the huge community celebrations, elaborate floats, radio station displays, Miss Warana, multicultural performances and spectacular aviation displays.
Plus Shane Bowering joins the morning conversation, there’s plenty of Ekka nostalgia as Queensland celebrates 150 years of the show, fishing gets a slightly unconventional update, and Sam Ingham-Myers delivers the latest Pub Goss from the Normanby and Rocklea Hotels.
Another wonderfully unpredictable morning of local stories, laughs, memories and conversations on Wake Up With Danny Hoyland.
