  #369 — Fisheries Management: From the Cod Collapse to Amberjack

  Sep 1, 20261h 31m

  Fisheries Management: From the Cod Collapse to Amberjack From centuries of "endless" cod to modern-day fisheries collapse — how we got here and what it means for Gulf fishing today. Trevor from the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources and Dr. Marcus Drymon from Mississippi State University join us to break down the history of fisheries management and why it matters to every angler on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The rise and fall of Atlantic cod — how a "limitless" resource lost 92% of its biomass and reshaped fisheries policy forever Why fishery independent surveys are critical, and how one bad data signal can crash an entire management system The recreational fishing boom is creating blind spots that stock assessments weren't built to handle Lionfish, king mackerel, and red snapper — why an invasive predator wrecks a system it didn't evolve in, and what the Mexican landings data says about our kings The FISHES course at Mississippi State — 10 chapters online at your own pace, October 1 through November 5, a free textbook Marcus wrote himself, and an offshore excursion setting long lines for sharks Register for FISHES here — registration is open through September 24. The parallels between the cod collapse and what's happening with amberjack and gag grouper right now are impossible to ignore.

  Aug 19, 20261h 8m

  A location scout knocked on Savannah's door in high school and handed her a card. She thought it was sketchy and almost threw it away. Her mom made the call — and less than a week later, producers from LA were walking through their house in Biloxi scouting a Nicolas Cage movie. Savannah and Dalton from Little Lighthouse Productions join us to talk about building a production company from the ground up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and what it actually takes to work in film without leaving the state. In this episode: - How a stand-in role on the set of Arsenal — with Nicolas Cage, John Cusack, and Adrian Grenier — turned a high schooler with zero camera experience into a filmmaker - Dalton's path from computer science and boilermaking into audio work, and leaving the nine-to-five in February to go full time - What a real film set looks like: focus pullers, boom ops, grips, gaffers, and three cameras rolling nonstop - Savannah's work with NFL Films — selected for their women's sports film program, then nine documentary shoots across last season, Hard Knocks and 30 for 30 style - Shooting the Peacock series Road to the Show on Jesús Made, the Biloxi Shuckers shortstop who is now the No. 1 prospect in all of baseball - Working on HGTV's Hometown in Laurel and Love and Fairhope in Alabama - Creating Gulf Coast Real Estate (R-E-E-L) with Travis Page — part travel show, part real estate marketing - Why audio matters more than video, and how a $35 Hollyland mic changes everything - Mississippi's film tax incentives, the Film Mississippi crew registry, and why more local crew means more productions coming here - The Mississippi Film Alliance — grants, mentorship, and the upcoming film summit in Jackson at MPB - Gear progression from DSLRs and iPhones to Sony FX 30s and FX 6s - Do you need film school? Honest advice for breaking in on the Gulf Coast in 2026 Whether you're a local business looking for professional video, an aspiring filmmaker, or just curious what goes on behind the scenes — this one's worth the listen.

  #366 — Salt & Sand BBQ: Ocean Springs' new barbecue joint

  Aug 12, 20261h 10m

  From a 10x10 tent to a brick-and-mortar joint on Government Street — this is how Salt & Sand BBQ built a barbecue business in Ocean Springs. Chris Horton, Shelby Horton, and Emmanuel Brown of Salt & Sand BBQ join us to break down the climb from tailgate cookouts to competition wins to a full-service pit and catering operation. Chris met his wife at a barbecue competition in 1994, stepped away from cooking when his kids were young, and got pulled back in feeding the Ocean Springs High football team under the oak trees after Friday night games The first competition he entered after that layoff, he and Frank Crochet took grand champion — he's since finished third out of 67 teams in ribs at the Shed Showdown, and he was headed to the Rib Rumble the weekend we recorded ♨️ He runs an Old Hickory gas-assist pit on pecan and cooks brisket hot at 300° instead of low and slow, going by probe tender instead of the clock — plus the biscuit test, why the point faces the heat, and what he does with the trimmings Shelby and Emmanuel both hold culinary degrees and came up through the Beau Rivage, bringing espresso brownies, Dubai chocolate cheesecake, and the king cake cobbler that won Best King Cake in Ocean Springs 15 weddings on the books through April, catering inquiries landing daily, and a 24 to 48 hour turnaround — the catering side may end up bigger than the restaurant Less than a year in at 2335 Government Street, they've been featured in South Mississippi Living and just picked up their beer permit, with covered outdoor seating and football season specials coming next Don't sleep on this crew.
