Paul Richards returns to The Hot Seat to tell us about what he’s been working on in the past 4 years since his last guest spot. Paul talks to Chris Sayer about a diverse range of topics, such as iodine deficiency in Tasmania, and the only ever murder at the LGH (in 1870). And just who was Frank Littler, and why is there a museum at Launceston Church Grammar School with his name?

And then there is Paul's interest in the unique art of making walking sticks.
