    Whales
    Mar 4 2024
    Hannah's asking all the questions you ever wanted to know about whales. Did you know they have culture? She's joined by whale legend Hal Whitehead, whose close encounters with sperm whales and understanding of their culture has completely changed how we view these enormous animals. Also - we've had an update from the team onboard the Arctic Sunrise, the research ship that's on its way to the Galapagos Islands.

  • Antarctica

    Antarctica
    Mar 11 2024
    Antarctica is one of the harshest environments you can imagine. Winds can reach 200mph and the lowest temperature ever recorded was -89 degrees Celsius. But the monochrome above the waves is matched by the explosion of colour beneath them. The Southern Ocean is home to more than 9000 species, many of which can only be found there. Hannah is joined by scientist Lucy Woodall, who led the first expedition to find Shackleton's ship Endurance, and Antarctic historian John Dudeney. Also - meet Bhakti Sharma, the youngest person and the first Asian to complete a long-distance swim in all five oceans, the most recent being the Southern Ocean.

    Mountains Under The Waves
    Mar 18 2024
    The world's longest mountain range is actually in the middle of the ocean - the mid-Atlantic ridge, at more than 40,000 miles long. But who knows about these mountains? How high are they? Where are they? What lives on them? Hannah is joined by South African actress and TV presenter Amanda Du Pont, who spent two weeks on a Greenpeace ship on a research expedition to Mount Vema in 2019. And she welcomes marine scientist Lucy Woodall back into the studio, who's led expeditions to seamounts all around the world. Also - there's another update from the Arctic Sunrise en-route to the Galapagos Islands. They've made a stop-off at the ocean mountains near Galapagos. Follow us on IG, X and TikTok for bonus content and to see original footage of these seamounts for yourself: @oceanspod.

    Wild West Of The High Seas
    Mar 25 2024
    Did you know that pretty much anything goes in international waters? Past a certain point somewhere beyond the coast, national jurisdiction ends and the Wild West begins. There's no police force for the ocean, so with rampant piracy, smuggling and illegal fishing - who's in charge? Maritime lawyer Richard Caddell joins Hannah in the studio. Also - we meet Steve Truluck, whose life changed when he started watching whales off the coast of Scotland. His work with Orca Watch brings that joy to other people. Follow us on IG, X and TikTok for bonus content and to see Steve's footage of killer whales for yourself: @oceanspod.

    Octopuses
    Apr 1 2024
    They're like aliens from another planet. There are over 300 species and counting, from the size of your fingernail to 10 metres across. They live on the ocean's surface, and in its darkest depths. But how intelligent are they, really? How do they use tools? And what's it like to meet one in the wild? Eminent marine biologist and science communicator Helen Scales joins Hannah in the studio. Also - meet Gretchen Früh-Green, one of the scientists who discovered the Lost City, which some believe could be the origin of all life on Earth.
