Scientists these days are serious about bringing animals extinct millions of years ago back to life. They even have a list of candidates, which includes the woolly mammoth, dodo, mastodon, and Tasmanian tiger. However, the animals you're about to see are not desirable and will not be loved by humans. Those scary monsters from the past won't do anyone any good. Learn more about your ad choices.

As of late 2025, the number of New Zealanders living in Australia was estimated to be around 700,000 - a huge number for such a small country, reflecting the close relationship between our two countries. In Tasmania, it's estimated there are about 5000 New Zealanders living here, making them one of the top 5 migrant groups.It's assumed often that New Zealanders are very similar to use and don't have many challenges to settle in here, but the true picture is more complex. One thing that distinguishes New Zealand from Australia is the influence of Maori culture, something which until fairly recently was repressed. Olive grew up in a small farming community near Gisborne, a small city on the east side of the North Island. Her mother and grandmother were strong influences during her younger years and gave her a connection with Maori culture and her grandmother, in particular, practised traditional Maori healing. Losing her mother and grandmother at the age of 16 was a deeply traumatic event for Olive and for a while she fell into some unhealthy coping mechanisms. Most of her family also migrated to Melbourne and, pregnant with her first child, she joined them to be near family support.It was around ten years ago that Olive met a Tasmanian man, who she later married, and was part of the reason that brought her to Tasmania. The other was a slightly more spiritual reason, which you will her about in the podcast.You will also hear how during the COVID pandemic and the lockdown in Melbourne lead to Olive reconnecting with the Maori language and culture through online communities, something she now also shares within her local community in Tasmania.

"I didn't appreciate how strong the pull for human connection would be." - Corinne Ooms In this episode of Three Food Memories, you'll meet a forager, food scientist, and the longest‑lasting female contestant on Alone Australia, who endured 70 days in the Tasmanian wilderness before tapping out. We should mention - she didn't tap out because she'd run out of food, or her shelter had blown away…it was for another, far more important reason. On the menu is: the wallaby and fern soup that got her through 70 days in the wilderness, Scottish potato scones, and Filipino pancit, along with musings on foraging, life, losing a parent, and becoming a parent for the first time. Corinne's social cause is food waste and food security, because working in the food industry, she sees firsthand how much perfectly good food gets thrown out every day from farms, factories, retailers, hospitality, all the way to households! Corinne believes it is heartbreaking and there needs to be more consumer awareness and policy changes in regards to this issue. Some food rescue organisations to check out are: OzHarvestFoodBank This episode was recorded while Corinne was back in her childhood bedroom in Inverness, Scotland. Send us a textTo find out more about the project and Savva - head to threefoodmemories.comInsta - @savvasavas @threefoodmemoriesEmail us at threefoodmemories@plated.com.au, we'd love to hear from you!

Mel Knuckey jumped on to share a hell of a story. Tasmanian mum of two. Community worker. Sleepless for weeks. Misdiagnosed. Admitted. ECT to survive. And the part that lit both of us up... no one checked perimenopause until a therapist suggested it. Mel gets raw about the psych ward, the guilt, the rebuild with her kids, and the power of HRT to pull her back to herself. This one is about self-advocacy, stigma, and why we need our blokes, our GPs, and our mates across what perimenopause actually looks like. It’s heavy, hopeful, and practical. Mouthguard in.

Our great coach on this episode is Scott Roth.Scott is a former basketball player who played 160 NBA games with the Utah Jazz, San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves. His playing career also took him to Spain, Turkey and Greece.

He led them to a Grand Final in his first year and the Championship in his third.Some of the ther highlights for me included: Scott's view that allowing the outside influence of social media into your mind can stop you from being vulnerable enough to dare greatly.Question: How you manage the outside influences that can, in Scotts words “drag dirty feet through your mind?” How he uses vulnerability to illustrate the role that care plays in his leadership style, and how he uses this to coach hard and challenge people.Question: How do you find the balance between telling people the truth, but also exhibiting care?The fascinating story of how he taught his new players and club what it meant to be Tasmanian by sending them to work on an Apple Orchard. And the bloodlines group he set up of people that have shaped Tasmanian Basketball, to help the team stay connected to its heritage.Question: What routines do you use to connect your team to the identity that shaped it?If you would like to send us any feedback or if you know a great coach, who has a unique story to share, then we would love to hear from you, please contact us at thegreatcoachespodcast@gmail.com or contact us through our website thegreatcoachespodcast.com The way Scott talks about his evolution as a leder, from Hosted on Acast.

In part two of our conversation with Professor Carolyn Hogg, Research Manager of the Australasian Wildlife Genomics Group at the University of Sydney, we dive deeper into the science and strategy behind threatened species management. Carolyn shares how her team is developing crucial genetic data to guide conservation, including breed-and-release programs with species like the Tasmanian devil. We discuss the vital role of biodiversity in sustaining planetary health, and the ambitious Earth Biogenome Project, which aims to map the genomes of all 12 million species of eukaryotic life on Earth. Beyond the lab, Carolyn reveals how genetic insights are shaping real-world decisions—bridging the gap between cutting-edge science, social change, and the policies that determine the future of our ecosystems.

James Hansen didn't grow up expecting to stand on the podium. The Tasmanian middle-distance runner started as an underdog, fuelled by nothing more than the joy of running and the stubborn belief that showing up matters. Over the years, that joy was tested - through injury, self-doubt, and most dramatically, a life-threatening brain clot that could have ended his career. In this conversation, we talk about the mental highs and lows of racing at the elite level, how faith has shaped James's approach to sport and life, and the ways he's learned to build resilience when the path ahead isn't clear. We also discuss body image in running, the pressure of chasing times, and why letting go of outcomes can make you a stronger athlete. James shares the moment he almost skipped nationals and how turning up changed the trajectory of his season. James's career so far shows that the real victories aren't always at the finish line. His story is about perspective, persistence, and holding onto the love of running — even when the going gets tough. -- James Hansen is one of Australia's top middle-distance runners, specialising in the 1500m and 5000m (and now dabbling in the half marathon). Based in Tasmania, he has represented Australia on the international stage and is known for his tactical racing style and relentless work ethic. -- This episode is sponsored by Mikro Coffee Roasters.

In this episode, we're joined by Tasmanian adventurer-turned-runner Tom Lewis. From a childhood spent sailing and fishing on the northwest coast of Tasmania to hiking under glaciers in Canada, Tom has always loved moving through the world. But it wasn't until later in life—after stepping back from full-time work—that he truly embraced trail running. Tom shares how the Gone Nuts trail event rekindled his connection with places from his youth and how training for it (with the help of Hanny Allston's plans and some local coffee chats) gave him a new lease on life. He talks about: •The joy of running for longevity—not speed •Why his Alexander Technique-trained wife has been his secret strength coach •The surprising power of jelly beans and raisin bread during ultras
