Melbourne’s an easy place to get around if you’re staying for a short visit. Jump on a tram to get to Jimmy Buttons - an icon to the sewing community. It's where we can source all sorts of notions locally. Jimmy has been serving the clothing community and the sewing community now for 31 years and he confessed to us that he wants a holiday. You can find Jimmy Buttons online too.

Welcome back to I'm Inspired Now, this is episode 2.

My name is Ben, and I’ll be talking about a short story I wrote, some board games I’ve just bought, a guy called Shawn, some 737’s and a massacre in Christchurch!

Shawn’s my mate who’ll be coming on the podcast to talk about Dark Tourism and his Kickstarter project. Look it up on www.kickstarter.com/ 

When you're in the Kickstarter page just look up The Weird Tales from Korean Lore. It's a comic book that celebrates the strange and eerie tales from Korean folklore, based on the popular Dark Side of Seoul Ghost Walk.

Enjoy the podcast!

Threadfin salmon (aka king threadfin) are one of Australia's best but most underrated sporting fish. They're not too bad on the table either!

Since the introduction of a net-free zone in the Fitzroy, both the numbers and size of king threadfin available to anglers has exploded. It's not unusual to see school of a hundred fish showing on a sounder, with many being over the magical metre long mark.

In this episode fishing film maker and Fitzroy guide John Haenke explains how to find where the threadies are hanging in the river system, what tackle to use and his top lures for catching kings.
