Bar Karate officially welcomes Stacey Jackson as its new 'Super Sub' in a high-energy episode that marks a major shift in the podcast's dynamic. With host Bicey absent, the show pivots to spotlight Jackson—a seasoned pro sailor, safety trainer, and women's racing pioneer—as the new voice of the show. Her journey from dinghy sailing in Queensland to circumnavigating the globe on a 100-foot trimaran is recounted with vivid detail, including the harrowing Southern Ocean leg and the emotional weight of being part of the first all-female crew to complete the Jules Verne race. The episode also dives into her recent near-miss at the Brisbane to Gladstone race, where a missed starting mark due to overlooked sailing instructions led to disqualification—offering a powerful lesson in attention to detail. Jackson’s new role brings not only credibility but a fresh perspective, with plans to drive deeper coverage of women’s sailing, including the upcoming inaugural International Women’s Championship in Newport. The episode is packed with banter, behind-the-scenes racing insights, and a playful hunt for the elusive Bicey, culminating in a bold new identity: 'Hot Time without Bice.' The episode’s standout moment isn’t just the announcement of a new host, but the raw, unfiltered honesty about sailing’s brutal realities—both physical and logistical.
Stacey Jackson is officially the new Super Sub on Bar Karate, stepping in for absent host Bicey with full authority and a packed schedule of 25-40 hours weekly.
Jackson’s near-disqualification at Brisbane to Gladstone was due to missing a starting mark because sailing instructions weren’t onboard—highlighting the critical importance of reading paperwork.
She was part of the first all-female crew to complete the nonstop Jules Verne race, a historic achievement that now makes 11 women total to have sailed around the world on a maxi-multihull.
Jackson is leading Australia’s team for the inaugural International Women’s Championship in Newport, Rhode Island, with a fully tax-deductible fundraising campaign via the Australian Sports Foundation.
The show has rebranded from 'Hot Time with Bice' to 'Hot Time without Bice,' embracing a new era with Jackson as the new anchor and driving force.
