Episode #4: Dessert Sours with Dr. Allison White

A great conversation with my friend and colleague, Dr. Allison White, about her journey into marine acoustics and her post-doc research at Texas A&M Galveston. We recorded this one over some wildly good dessert sour ales from Arkane Aleworks in Largo, Florida — and yes, her dog Fisher makes a special guest appearance near the end of our chat. 🐾🍻

Episode #3: A Sidebar with Mr. Jeff Condiotty

A fun and insightful chat with Jeff Condiotty about life after college and his journey to the vendor side of fishery acoustics — including his work with industry leaders SIMRAD, known for cutting-edge echo sounders, and Kongsberg, a global powerhouse in marine technology.

🍯 Thanks to a recent run-in with some hornets in his garden out in Washington state, Jeff skipped the craft beer and opted for a cider, while I reached for a glass of rum (I am in Tampa after all 🏴‍☠️). Some mellow drinks for a great conversation.

Episode #1: Southern Brewing and Winemaking with Dr. Kevin Boswell

For the inaugural episode, I talk with my good friend and longtime mentor, Dr. Kevin Boswell — the person who first sparked my interest in marine acoustics. Now a professor at Florida International University (FIU), Kevin reflects his path to marine acoustics and the cutting edge research he and his lab are currently working on. We recorded this one over craft beers from one of my all-time favorite hometown spots — Southern Brewing and Winemaking in Seminole Heights, Tampa, Florida, with Kevin joining in remotely from south Florida. 🍻
