Podcast appearances and mentions of rodney fox

A little over three years ago I interviewed Andre Borell, director of Envoy: Shark Cull, a hard-hitting documentary highlighting the archaic shark mitigation systems employed by the Australian government throughout Queensland and New South Wales. The doco, narrated by Eric Banna, was initially aired exclusively on Stan and three years down the line has a much greater global audience through many other popular media streams including Netflix. During today's episode, I grab an update from Andre and an excellent insight into his latest project, the Shark Stop wetsuit. Now, in its second round of funding, the Shark Stop wetsuits were originally designed by surfer Haydon Burford, who wanted to find a wetsuit similar to the impact protection for motorcyclists via Kevlar. Through his research and development, he created what we see now as the bite-resistant wetsuit Shark Stop. Tested by Flinders University on board the Rodney Fox vessel, Andre shares the impressive results and findings, so join me as we delve deeper into the creation, those results, the progress of the business, and the opportunities available for investors seeking to make a change.

And it was set up by the man who survived the shark attack that inspired the movie, Jaws. This adventure should be on the bucket list of any ocean adventure fan. But it's not for the feint hearted. Listen in and see if you would dare to take on the most intense great white shark experience on the planet. Highlights include: Hearing the story of one of the most horrific great white shark attacks of all time Learning about the story of Rodney Fox, how he became the inspiration for Jaws the movie, and went on to invent cage diving. Finding out what it feels like to descend to the bottom of the ocean floor as seven great white sharks circle you on all sides. Finding out about great white shark science and conservation Note: Many cage diving trips are unethical, Rodney Fox's are the gold standard in conservation.

'I am surprised they don't attack us more often'. Andrew Fox' reply might seem surprising. But indeed, when we enter the ocean, we automatically become part of the sharks' world and hence part of the marine food chain. Andrew Fox is the son of Australia's famous champion spearfisherman and shark bite-victim Rodney Fox. Rodney invented cage diving with sharks to lose his fear and to learn about the sharks' behaviour. Not wanting to be deterred by the deathly reputation of the top predators of the ocean, he was one of the pioneers of shark research in Australia and started his own company to take people on expedition to get up and close with the grey giants. Andrew has continued his father's company and vision, supporting great white shark research unlocking the species' secrets. Join us on a journey to get to know great whites on a personal level. And yes, they do have individual personalities. Cat and Dom interview Andrew Fox about his father's pioneering work, the company's vision and what Andrew still finds fascinating about these animals.

Few things are scarier than being attacked by a shark. Australian Mick Fanning was in a professional surfing competition, which was being broadcast live around the world. Viewers watched as a shark approached him and he was quickly rescued by nearby safety crews – the only damage was the leash that connected him to his surfboard had been chewed through. In 1963, Rodney Fox was competing in a spearfishing tournament. A great white shark attacked and bit him around his midsection, puncturing his diaphragm, crushing his rib cage, and leaving many of his organs exposed. He survived with surgery and around 400 stitches. One summer on the Jersey Shore, five shark attacks happened in 10 days, resulting in four deaths. That period is often thought to be the inspiration for the classic movie, Jaws. As scary as it sounds, the reality is that shark attacks are quite rare. In fact, your odds of being attacked by a shark are around 1 in 11 million. Of course, that's not much comfort if you're one of the unlucky people to actually experience a violent attack by a shark.

Sup spooky souls! We are back with another animal attack, and no surprise that we are traveling to Australia once again. This episode will discuss the infamous shark attack on Rodney Fox, which led to some of the most famous shark bite photographs ever taken. Rodney's attack became so notorious, that Steven Spielberg even enlisted his help when making the film, Jaws.

We also talk about Rodney Fox, a spear fisherman competing in the annual South Australian Spearfishing Championship. When he travels a little further out to sea he is faced with a big problem. Listen to how they survived now!   Drink of the Week: Mimosa

Rodney Fox was born in 1940 in South Australia. Growing up near water, he quickly developed a passion for swimming, spearfishing and the ocean—and he went on to become the South Australian Spear Fishing Champion at age 22. Exactly one year after he won the championship, he was competing to defend his title when he was attacked by a great white shark and was badly wounded. Rodney used the experience to help increase shark awareness around the world and has been involved in dozens of film projects. He developed the first shark cages for underwater viewing and founded the Fox Shark Research Foundation alongside his son Andrew in 2001. In this episode of Anchored, Rodney and I discuss his attack, his role in Jaws, shark conservation and media glamorisation of animal attacks. Buy Rodney's Books: Sharks, the Sea and Me, Sharkman

When Australian spearfishing champion Rodney Fox survived an horrific attack by a Great White Shark in 1963, it inspired him to learn more about the predator that tried to eat him. He invented the Shark Cage to help him do it safely. Rodney's was one of the worst non-fatal shark attacks ever recorded. He's been describing his miraculous escape from the jaws of death to Rebecca Kesby.(Photo: A Great White Shark - Getty Images)

Fatal shark attacks on humans have been on the increase in Australia. For Discovery, marine biologist Dr Helen Scales finds out how scientists are exploring new, humane ways to reduce this number. At the start of this year, the state government of Western Australia decided to undertake the culling of sharks longer than three metres, after what they called an “unprecedented number of attacks”. In February, thousands of Australians protested against the cull, with conservationists claiming that it will make no difference to the number of attacks. An outspoken critic of the strategy is Rodney Fox, who was almost killed by a Great White shark when he was a young man but who subsequently made a 50-year-long career filming sharks, shark tourism and shark conservation. Rodney talks to Helen about the day he was attacked and his thoughts about the Western Australian cull. Rodney argues that another approach is needed.On a mission to reduce shark attacks, a team has been formed at the Ocean Institute, University of Western Australia (UWA). Their task is to think like a shark to understand how a shark's brain perceives and reacts to light, sound and vibrations, and how the shark's finely tuned senses might be manipulated in the hunt for more effective, humanitarian shark repellents. Research revealed that Great Whites have large chunks of their brain dedicated to vision. So UWA are developing and testing a shark-proof wetsuit that mimics the appearance of poisonous, striped sea snakes. Other solutions under study include bubble curtains and the use of devices which generate electric fields around swimmers.Helen also questions whether sharks deserve their reputation as the most fearsome predators of the sea. Have they been misunderstood and mythologised by popular culture through films such as Jaws and Deep Blue Sea. Proving that even the most predatory of sharks are not automatic man-eaters, Helen herself goes diving with dozens of huge bull sharks (one of the most aggressive species) and comes to the surface unscathed. These three metre long monsters have been trained to be hand-fed by locals while tourists watch close by. Helen also talks to veteran shark researcher Eugenie Clark about the predators' learning abilities and intelligence. Dr Clark was able to train sharks to learn to press the correct buttons with their snouts to get a food treat. She even presented the Crown Prince of Japan with a baby nurse shark who never made a mistake.(Photo: Courtesy of Helen Scales)
