Dr Joe Fontaine (Lecturer and researcher in the School of Environmental and Conservation Sciences) chats with Murdoch University PhD candidate and creator of the Paramount Importance podcast, Kurt Krispyn, about the complex world of fire, ecology and land management.

Joe is an incredible storyteller, sharing his knowledge and experience in fire ecology, cultivated over many years working in the Southwest. He shares his perspectives so generously and reflects on some light bulb moments he’s had working alongside Traditional Custodians on Country.

He also talks about some of the exciting research he has supported, led by recent PhD graduate, Dr Ebony Cowan.

Whether you’re about to embark on a road trip or chilling with a cuppa, this is a podcast that will get you thinking about how important and sometimes challenging fire management can be.
