Al & Juddy enjoyed having Stephen Goldson from AgResearch in the studio as their second guest.

Stephen shares his intrepid journey on controlling the Argentine stem weevil population by retrieving parasitoids from South America and bringing them to New Zealand.

Tune in for a first hand account of ecology in action.
