    Mar 22 2024

    It’s February, the month of love and there’s love in the deep ocean too. We talk reproductive strategies in the deep sea with Professor Craig Young, Dr Autun Purser and Dr Mike Vecchione. How do you find a mate in the sparsely populated deep ocean? How can egg and sperm meet when you are fixed growing on a rock? How can your babies disperse and find a suitable habitat, especially if you live in a rare habitat like a hydrothermal vent? We find the solutions to all these problems and more.

  • PRESSURISED: 044 - Alan takes over
    Mar 8 2024

    It finally happened… we brought you an episode which was recorded almost completely offshore. With Dr Thom in the Bounty Trough and the Professor somewhere in the Pacific, this episode is quite the wild card. Whilst Thom has been busy crocheting fishing nets (that’s science folks), Alan was left to take the reins and he decided to go a little off-piste. We bring it back to the good old days with one of Alan’s (in)famous rants. This one is titled: When does the sea become the deep sea, and why it needs to be changed. Expect to hear about the history of why we decided what makes the deep-sea ‘deep’, and why it might not make sense anymore in our modern world. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this and whether you agree with Alan.

    Finally, we check in with a key individual in the online deep-sea community space: Jeff Day. Jeff’s been on our radar for years with his immense knowledge of deep-sea cephalopods and we thought we’d finally hand him the mic. He talks to us all about his love of deep sea creatures and how he contributes to the field in unconventional ways.

    We’re really trying to make this project self-sustaining so we have started looking for ways to support the podcast. Here’s a link to our page on how to support us, from the free options to becoming a patron of the show.

    Thanks again for tuning in, we’ll deep-see you next time!

    Check out our podcast merch here! Which now includes Alan’s beloved apron and a much anticipated new design...

  • Alan takes over
    Mar 1 2024
    Are you looking for a podcast episode that contains the return of the blobfish, golden crochet hooks and rare deep-sea squid? Well, look no further than this episode of The Deep-Sea Podcast! It finally happened… we brought you an episode which was recorded almost completely offshore. With Dr Thom in the Bounty Trough and the Professor somewhere in the Pacific, this episode is quite the wild card. Whilst Thom has been busy crocheting fishing nets (that’s science folks), Alan was left to take the reins and he decided to go a little off-piste. We bring it back to the good old days with one of Alan’s (in)famous rants. This one is titled: When does the sea become the deep sea, and why it needs to be changed. Expect to hear about the history of why we decided what makes the deep-sea ‘deep’, and why it might not make sense anymore in our modern world. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this and whether you agree with Alan. Dr Thom does make an appearance in this episode, giving us a run-down of how the research cruise is going (SPOILER: The blobfish is back). Plus, we hear about the original blobfish and how exactly it came to be an internet sensation, from the man who was there: new fan favourite, Andrew Stewart. Finally, we check in with a key individual in the online deep-sea community space: Jeff Day. Jeff’s been on our radar for years with his immense knowledge of deep-sea cephalopods and we thought we’d finally hand him the mic. He talks to us all about his love of deep sea creatures and how he contributes to the field in unconventional ways. We’re really trying to make this project self-sustaining so we have started looking for ways to support the podcast.
