FUNNIEST EPISODE YET! I’m An Instagram Model! That’s the title of episode 15 of our podcast, Rambling On. Boating and fishing writer, long- time camper and a very nice guy, John ‘Bear’ Willis, joins the crew to share his thoughts on everything from sailfish procreation to why flathead fillets are so expensive to the uses for toadfish (hint: there really aren’t any). As a passionate advocate for the rights of fishermen, as well as marine life sustainability, Bear recounts the time he joined forces with Green Peace to battle against international drift nets, which were up to 40km in length. As Tim Smith says: “The nets aren’t picky – they’ll take everything.” And getting rid of these drift nets, Bear reckons, is one reason gamefish have returned to Victoria’s waters, making the state one of the best places in Australia to catch them. And if it all sounds too serious, we assure you: it’s a fascinating, very funny, discussion. MEET THE GANG The Rambling On brains trust is made up of GoRV’s editor, Max Taylor, well-known comedian Tim Smith, and Aussie actress Paula Gardner. They’re kept in line by Simon Diaz of Smooth FM. It’s a lighthearted look at the Australian RV lifestyle and a fantastic way to while away an hour behind the wheel. EPISODE 15 ALL EPISODES gorv.com.au 53
