Inside this episode with your host, Mitch Hampton:

I was introduced to the work of James Sturz through another guest, Jill Clemens of our Nadina’s Cremes episode with whom is shared a love for Hawaii as well as nature.

Little did I know at the time what a standout voice in prose James Sturz is.

Not only is he the author of a novel that truly merits the adjective of original, Underjungle , he hashed a long career both as a reporter and journalist as well as deep sea diver and passionate environmentalist and activist.

I found his combination of a commitment to literature as an art form with his concern for the ocean in particular and the wider ecology to express best one of the things our podcast is about.
