    Story and interview was amazing, sound was terrible! Voices were so quiet and laughs were SO loud. Hard to listen to.

    Wanted to listen to Elliot’s story but could hardly hear it with my phone volume right up. Need to sort audio out so can hear it properly

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trophy Hunter Snapper Bash with Sondal Benson and Mike Bonnici
Q: How is catch-and-release integrated into the competition?
The event promotes catch-and-release and introduced video verification for larger fish to ensure key specimens are released, though full monitoring of every fish is not feasible.
Scott Wilson – Lord Howe Island
Q: What are the main jobs on the island, and how does fishing fit into the economy?
Hospitality and local government roles dominate employment, with fisheries supplying the island's restaurants; licensing and regulation are ongoing challenges for fishermen, who seek stable licenses to legitimize and protect their market.
Scott Wilson – Lord Howe Island
Q: What's it like on Lord Howe Island today, and how has life there evolved?
Scott describes a small, tight-knit community where tourism is essential yet tightly regulated; the island's residents balance tradition with growth, including governance via a local board and tensions around licensing and development.
Daiki – ROKO Ramen Bar
Q: And when did you meet Josh?
I met Josh in 2018 when I went to die at fleet. That was the first time I met him, and I really liked that experience in the food.
Daiki – ROKO Ramen Bar
Q: Welcome to the show, Daiki-san, how are you?
Yeah, good thanks. Thanks for having me.
