 Write a Review of Sunday Profile: ABC Local Radio Podcast
 
personalmedia, February 17, 2006
Reviewer: personalmedia
from Indiana
I reviewed a past Sunday Profile: ABC Local Radio Podcast that featured an interview with a famous Australian, Dick Smith. I had never heard of Dick Smith before this podcast, but I found the interview motivational and interesting. Mr. Smith talked about his early years as a child with a speech impediment and dyslexia. He also talked about his years working in a factory and starting an electronics business with only $610. He later sold the company for 25 million dollars.
This successful and wealthy man talked candidly about his middle class upbringing. He also discussed the fact that he never borrowed any money for any of his business ventures. The host asked him probing questions and Mr. Smith openly and honestly answered them. Individuals wondering if they will ever find their niche should listen to this inspiring podcast.

Archbishop John Hepworth

Mon, Sep 19, 2011
Archbishop John Hepworth is a former Catholic priest, now the Primate of a breakaway Anglican faction, the Traditional Anglican Communion.
The Adelaide-based Archbishop emerged as a central figure this week, after he revealed that he was sexually abused by Catholic clergy when he was a boy and later, as a young man.
His story created a furore when Senator Nick Xenaphon used parliamentary privilege to name an alleged perpetrator who, he said, abused Archbishop Hepworth, then a priest in his 20s.
The Senator claimed that the Catholic Archdiocese of Adelaide had failed to act on Archbishop Hepworth's grievance and so the use of parliamentary privilege was justified. The man who was named has strongly denied the allegations.
Julia Baird talks to Archbishop John Hepworth about his experience of sexual abuse, about going public and about his attempts to reconcile with the Catholic Church.

Amongst all the issues raised during this Federal election campaign, religion has been a quiet undercurrent - until this week when the Australian Christian Lobby launched a new election website to focus Christian minds on the policies of the main parties.

But no doubt, perhaps like most of you, he's tired of the spin, the repetitive messaging of modern day election campaigns.
