Try mentioning South Australia to any other Australian and inevitably the name Don Dunstan will come up.

This week, we delve into the first biography about Don Dunstan by interviewing its author, Dr Dino Hodge.

Dino unravels some of the mystery around Don Dunstan by taking us back to his formative years, the social and sexual culture of early 20th Century South Australia, the cold war, the police and ASIO special squads and, ultimately, the key things that shrouded his departure from public life.

Also this week, we discuss the mainstream media coverage of our interview with Adelaide Lord Mayor, Stephen Yarwood, in last week's show, episode 038. In particular, we discuss the City Messenger treatment of the story in which they tried to milk controversy that wasn't there from Stephen Yarwood's use of the term apartheid.

We feature an incredibly talented South Australian band, The Bearded Gypsy Band. The aplomb with which they play clever, complicated compositions is a delight to listen to and to savour.

Likewise, this week's wine is fittingly an 8 Songs shiraz from Peter Lehmann - harmony, confidence, majesty!
