It's been two years since we spoke to master landscape photographer, Craig Crosthwaite, from Anglesea. We catch up for a chat about "that photo" he captured of the blood moon on November 8 2022.

Hear how put it together and how he got 61,000 likes, 28,000 shares and 1,000 comments on his Facebook page. Some people even took credit for the photo themselves - it was that good. David Attenborough even got in on the action.

Make sure you check out CC's Facebook page under SeeSea Images for some other bangers we discuss.

We've got out first doctor on the Surf Coast Creatives podcast.

Dr Gil Stynes has been a University Hospital Geelong (UHG) stalwart over many years, starting work here first as an intern, before working as a general surgery and plastic surgery registrar. When completing a surgical PhD at UHG, Gil developed a specialised implant that allows skin to grown onto foreign materials, potentially revolutionising the field of robotics and skin penetrating medical devices, such as intravenous lines and catheters. 

And the best part? He's a customer at Stonker. Ben was asking about Gil's background in the shop one day and just had to get him on the podcast for a chat. Gil is a doer, a thinker, and creator. Tune to hear his incredible story and how he and a team of experts may one day change the face of healthcare and medicine as we know it.
