In this episode, I’m back in the studio after five years to officially relaunch Paramount Importance! I sit down with my good mate (and now producer) Dan to talk about how this podcast started, why I stopped, and what’s driving me to fire it up again. We dive into everything from fieldwork stories and estuary science to my upcoming PhD, the chaos of juggling science, side projects, and training for a half Ironman. This one's a bit of a behind-the-scenes catch-up—a way to test the mics, share the vision, and bring you along for the ride as we kick off this next chapter. 

This is officially the first episode recorded in 2025
