To finish up our run of episodes on deep-sea habitats, we’re really excited to bring you this month’s episode on… shipwrecks! But we’re not going to talk about what you expect.
To finish up our run of episodes on deep-sea habitats, we’re really excited to bring you this month’s episode on… shipwrecks! But we’re not going to talk about what you expect.
We all know what shipwrecks are but do you know how to find them? We talk with Leighton Rolley, an expert in researching, discovering and documenting shipwrecks. And we don’t stop there. Our second guest, Lori Johnston is a microbiologist whose research has focused on the fascinating structures of rusticles: the rusty icicles that hang from shipwrecks like the Titanic.
We’re also very happy to hear from Don in this month’s episode with his tale of sailing on the infamous ghost ship, Glub Glub Orlova. Plus, we learn why Alan shares Darwin's opinion in hating Goose barnacles, or more accurately, one barnacle individually.
We want to say a huge thank you to those patrons who have already pledged to support us:
Arlene Ogston | Philip John Pearson | Rosa Potter | Lexi Harding | William Benn | Dylan Wesley Taylor | Kat Bolstad | Laura M Smith | Scott Carle
Thanks again for tuning in, we’ll deep-see you next time!
