  • #77 Professor Ian Brighthope – Health, Autonomy, and the WA Secession Debate.
    Apr 14 2026

    Professor Ian Brighthope has spent decades working in nutritional and environmental medicine in Australia.

    We discuss his approach to health — his own practices, the protocols he uses, and how his thinking has developed over time. He reflects on his experience with a heart attack and his views on prevention, along with his perspective on the current global health landscape.

    He also shares his interest in Western Australia seceding from the rest of the country.

  • #76 Shelly Jones – Boomers Bar
    Feb 17 2026

    Boomers Bar sits just off the Esplanade at Christie’s Beach.

    Low lamps. Old furniture. Shelves of nostalgic nick-nacks that feel like they’ve always been there. It’s not styled — it’s collected.

    In this conversation, Shelly Jones talks about creating and running Boomers Bar: why she chose a full retro feel, what people are really looking for when they walk through the door, and how a place becomes familiar without trying too hard.

    It’s a story about atmosphere, memory, and quietly creating a place for a community — one drink, one conversation, one dimly lit night at a time.

  • #75 Joel Hatcher — Moving Naturally, Training Thoughtfully
    Jan 25 2026

    Joel Hatcher is a personal trainer, barefoot runner, surfer, snowboarder, coach, dancer, and massage therapist — someone who has built his life around movement in all its forms.

    In this conversation, we talk about what it means to live well in the body, not just train it. Joel shares his approach to strength, balance, recovery, and awareness, and how different disciplines — from surfing and snowboarding to dance and hands-on bodywork — inform the way he moves through the world.

    This is a relaxed, thoughtful conversation with a grounded, generous person — about listening to the body, staying curious, and finding a way of moving that feels natural rather than forced.
