Podcasts

As this weeks Green Guide says - podcasting has taken off in 2007!

A really good series of podcasts combined with a walking tours is available from ABC Radio 774. The one about food and the history of Melbourne is fascinating. It would be brilliant for locals and tourist alike. I think I'll try to do the walking tour over the summer. See below

Eat, Drink Melbourne

Presented by Derek Guille with food writer Stephanie Alexander.

Let Derek Guille take you on an exploration of Melbourne’s culinary hotspots as Eat, Drink Melbourne takes in the great eating and drinking sites of today and decades past, interspersed with cooking hints from Stephanie Alexander.

Highlights Include:

• The story of Australian food icons, like Vegemite, the Freddo Frog, and the Dim Sim, which were all invented in Melbourne.
• The site where the Prince Alfred caused Melbourne’s biggest food-fight involving 100,000 Melburnians.
• Rollicking yarns about Melbourne's famous pubs and vineyards.
• Stephanie Alexander’s advice on how to select a good cheese or cut of meat.

Route: Starting at Federation Square this podtour winds through the lanes and arcades of the inner city to Chinatown and the Greek precinct to finish up at that foodies haven, the Queen Victoria Market.
