Episode 138: RAD KI: Ro and Phil
This week we are joined by Ro and Phil, the team behind Research and Discovery Coastal Tours Kangaroo Island, or RAD KI for short. They run marine and land based tours on KI, combining tourism with citizen science and have been on the ground documenting and observing the effects of the Algal Bloom on the local environment. We chat about what they have seen and how it has affected different animals and businesses on the Island, as well as talking about their business and what they love about living and working on Kangaroo Island.
We also cover the news in South Australian fishing, including a couple of good news stories:
- An increase in bag limits for Snapper caught in the states South East.
- A new limit of 3 Kingfish caught by commercial netting has been introduced
- More weather related damage to jetties including Normanville, Kingston and the old jetty at Rapid Bay.
- Plus we talk about the ongoing effects of the algal bloom.
We announce the winners of our giveaway from Survival First Aid: Paul Longbottom, Tony Lukin and Lawrence Fantus who have each won an Ocean Warrior First Aid Kit. Our tackle item of the week is the Boomer All Terrain Anchor which we have just purchased and plan to put on our boat to save us from losing any more anchors in the future. The fishing report covers all the states fishing, with plenty of Salmon about, while winter whiting and barrel tuna are a bit more hard to find!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
