This week’s episode of Youthlocal is packed with adventure, history, debate, and marine mysteries!

🌲 Stuff To Do takes us on a wild recap of the Outward Bound leadership camp — from hiking Mount Tennant and crawling through granite caverns at “Lego Land,” to surviving wild winds, solo reflections in the bush, and a pig scare at camp.

🚂 History Hits explores the old industrial railway that once transported silica from Bannister’s Point to Newcastle, and sparks a big conversation about what Milton and Ulladulla might have looked like if trains still ran through the region.

🔥 Hot Topic gets heated as the team debates sports that should not be in the Olympics — from eSports and hobby horsing, to French cricket and even traditional team sports.

🕵️ Morning Cup of Mystery dives into the infamous Somerton Man case, one of Australia’s most baffling unsolved mysteries.

🐍 Tide Talk slithers beneath the waves to discover coral reef snakes — their habits, diets, and vital role in reef ecosystems.

It’s a full ride of laughs, local stories, and curious questions you won’t want to miss!

🎪 Stuff To Do highlights the upcoming Community Expo at the Dunn Lewis Centre, with live performances, stalls, and plenty to explore.

⛏️ History Hits uncovers Milton Ulladulla’s mining past — from silica quarries to hidden tramways that once shaped the region.

🤔 Would You Rather sparks laughs and strong opinions, as the team chooses between lying or swearing, coffee or smoothies, pizza or Colombian soup, and whether they’d rather earn money per step or per jump.

It’s a mix of reviews, local insights, and pure youth energy — all from the Shoalhaven.

Step into another Youthlocal adventure as the team dives into books, movies, and marine life mysteries. From Tolkien’s classic Lord of the Rings to Keeper of the Lost Cities and Holly Jackson’s Not Quite Dead Yet, the crew gives honest reviews, laughs about favourite (and not-so-favourite) characters, and debates star ratings.

We then plunge beneath the waves in Tide Talk, discovering the secrets of manta rays — the “ocean pancakes” with brains as big as their bodies. Add in Willow’s Words of Wisdom and a round of Popcorn Perspectives, where the team rates shows like Peaky Blinders, The Flash, The Rookie, and even a K-pop demon-hunting musical, and you’ve got an episode packed with stories, banter, and plenty of youth perspectives.

On this weeks episode the crew are back from their school holiday break, and are very excited about it (aka: Gemma the producer has to do a LOT of editing). Listeners can expect a jam-packed show this week with an interesting 'Day of the Year' about plants with Lawson, some great recommended reads including the Mazerunner series and Girt - a non-fiction 'unauthorized historical account of Australia). We also have a Tidetalk Feature about Hammerhead sharks, some local history (thanks Arlo!) and cap things off with Oscars fiercely debated 'would you rather' segment. We also have some sad news, with our savvy roving reporter Darcy finishing up with Youthlocal, but only because Darcy is swamped with taking her interest in media further with a Diploma!!! Congratulations Darcy! We are super excited for your next big adventure (and quietly proud that we may have influenced it a little)!
