In this episode…Welcome back to the Deep-Sea Podcast, your punk take on all things deep sea!
This month Thom is freshly back from a 5 week expedition to Antarctica with Aurora Expeditions, managed 4 ESCA deployments in 24 hours and watched in amazement while Kat fended off a large iceberg with her bare hands and a boat hook. Alan had a great time with old friends, may have played hookey on a podcast record, and spent 2 weeks in Antigua listening to ‘80’s hair metal. We get an update from Monty on Chimaera mating, and get to hear about the forever home for the “I am your tongue now” mug from @fibreandmud.
In the news, get ready for updates on:
- Redefining our understanding of sinking carbon
- Cancer-fighting sponges
- New branch of life discovered
- New film on bioluminescence
- Mystery whale revealed through skin fragment
- Tongue-eating louse asked for autograph, shyly declines
- The “I Am Your Tongue Now” mug finds new forever home
- Lost Alan- reward $100
- Baby Paddlefish, deep-sea dreams, Alvin maintenance
- Squid hunts, deep-sea accessories, shark cartoons and more!
The podcast is self-sustaining (just) thanks to our lovely listeners. Thom and Alan take no money for the show. All money is put back into running it. Here’s a link to our page on how to support us, from the free options to becoming a patron of the show. We want to say a huge thank you to those patrons who have already pledged to support us:
Amrei - is only known from a single specimen caught by the challenger expedition
Diana Noto - was considered lost for decades until they were found at the back of the sponge collection
Pedro - has been found to flouress under the right wavelengths of light, no one knows why
