    I began listening before moving to TAS from Melb. This podcast has been great in helping me to get my head around what is happening in the state. It gives a diverse and interesting perspective on all manner of issues and personalities. Well produced, reported, presented and a pleasure to listen to. Now I'm down south for good and can listen daily, though I do catch a podcast of missed episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Corporate America to a Tasmanian farm
Q: What are your plans for lambing season and the future of the farm?
This will be my first lambing season; I learned from an agronomist friend to start simple, buy lambs in, and gradually raise them while building a brand and product that reflects the land and my farming approach.
From Corporate America to a Tasmanian farm
Q: How did you find your dream property that you have here?
It was a long process, including applying online, waiting through lockdown, and finally visiting after quarantine lifted, which confirmed that the landfelt like home and offered the opportunity to build a life that aligns with my values.
Underwater drones tackle sea urchins
Q: What are the trial locations and how is the trial structured?
Trials are conducted along the East Coast of Tasmania in a 500 square kilometer area, using multiple drones and operators in both shallow and deep waters to determine the most effective combination of drone type, location, and depth for urchin control.
Underwater drones tackle sea urchins
Q: How have you evolved the drones to become the technology they are today?
We started with smaller observation drones and water sampling, then scaled up by miniaturizing large, industrial-grade tools to fit an observation-class underwater vehicle, enabling extended operation and robotic intervention for environmental benefit.
Underwater drones tackle sea urchins
Q: With these drones specifically, how do they work and how do they kill sea urchins?
They use a tethered underwater drone operated with a PlayStation/Xbox-like controller to locate invasive urchins via video feed, then deploy a robotic claw to grab, crush, or kill them, with the option to surface the captured urchins or deploy AI-driven sequences for automated intervention.
