These are trying times, and there’s no shortage of research to show us how compromised the future might be; No lack of surveys showing how disheartened and pessimistic many people feel.

In classic stories a hero reluctantly takes up a cause that is bigger than themselves, faces challenges for the greater good, and sometimes falls, yet, despite the odds, they rise to fight again. It's one thing to be inspired that the hero got back up, it's another thing entirely to understand how, why, and at what cost? This podcast is an exploration of hope in a hopeless time, a celebration of tenacity, bravery, and stubbornness. There is light still in this growing darkness, let it give you strength.

I have shared the stage with Abbi, been involved in the FNQ STEM hub with her, and performed at one of her Pint of Science events, but this was the first time I got to sit down and actually chat with her, and I only found out on the day of recording that she was pregnant, which came as a very pleasant surprise.
