Paramount Importance
I host documentaries and a podcast speaking to scientists about all fascinating topics.

I completely missed that the WA Young Achiever Awards has a People’s Choice Award, and apparently voting closes tonight at midnight.
I am very grateful to be a finalist this year for the work I have been doing in science communication, marine research, the podcast, short films and trying to get more people connected to the natural world.
If you have enjoyed any of the videos, podcasts, underwater chaos, fish facts or backyard wildlife stories, I would really appreciate your vote.
It feels weird asking, and no pressure at all, but it would mean a lot. It takes 2 second to vote.

What’s In Our Backyard uncovers the extraordinary marine life living right on our doorstep.
From kelp forests and western rock lobsters to leafy seadragons, smooth stingrays, silver drummer, dhufish, soft corals, sea squirts and grey nurse sharks, this film reveals the hidden world beneath the surface.
These are animals most people will never see, yet they are part of the ecosystems that surround us every day.

I’ve officially started a new YouTube channel separate from the Paramount Importance podcast channel.
The reason for this is partly creative, but also practical. YouTube works best when a channel has a clear identity. The algorithm needs to understand what a channel is about, who the content is for, and what type of videos people are likely to watch next.
The podcast channel will continue to focus on long-form conversations with scientists, researchers and thinkers across a wide range of topics.
This new channel will be more education-focused, with a stronger emphasis on science, nature, wildlife, fieldwork, underwater footage and the marine life we have right here on our doorstep. It will be a place for short films, explainers, field stories and visual science communication that helps people better understand the natural world around them.
By separating the two, I can give each channel a clearer purpose. The podcast can remain a home for deep conversations, while the new channel can grow around educational visual storytelling, exploration and bringing people closer to science through the natural world.
For me, this is about making the content easier for audiences to find, easier for YouTube to understand, and hopefully more effective at reaching the people who will genuinely connect with it.
I’d really appreciate any support as I start building it.
