    Episode 25 - 43 Days Alone in the Desert
    Aug 16 2025

    I interview ABC journalist Erin Parke who spent years gaining the the trust of Robert Bogucki, whose edge-of-survival spiritual quest into the Australia outback sparked a international search effort and media frenzy. Travelling to Robert's cabin in the Alaska, Erin gets to the bottom of why this mysterious but well-considered bloke set off alone into the wilderness to find answers.


    Listen to Expanse, Erin's six part ABC podcast series about Robert Bogucki.

  • Episode 23 Ranger Louie - Affordable Camping in NSW National Parks

    Episode 23 Ranger Louie - Affordable Camping in NSW National Parks
    Jun 8 2025

    NSW National Parks have proposed expensive (in my opinion) new fees across the majority of campgrounds, which will price many Australians out of camping. In this episode I speak to former NPWS ranger, Louise Anderson (Ranger Louie on Instagram) to get her thoughts on life as a ranger and the effect these fees will likely have if the NSW Labour Government allows them to go through. Please note, Louie is not a spokesperson for NPWS service. These are just her opinions.


    Here's the ePetition I created to NSW State Parliament titled Keep Camping Affordable for All Australians In NSW National Parks. Please consider signing it.


    Only NSW residents can sign. Non-NSW residents can still have there say by messaging the NSW Environment Minister directly here.
