Episode notes

In the okovango delta, water is so clear and pristine that it just tastes wonderful. In some parts of these places, you just have to buy bottle o water in certain areas. Mike monkowski: Are bil fuels used for vehicles energy positive? Or do they consume more energy to produce and transport than they provide? He says there's a lot of potential for bio fuels.

THIS IS UPLIFTING, I PROMISE. And it might just make you switch careers. As a bookend to last week's Oceanology episode, Conservation Technologist Shah Selbe chats about saving the planet with some well-intentioned technology. Wind turbines, solar cars, and all the ways in which sensors, drones, recycled smartphones and real-time data reporting can help conserve species, spaces and communities that are threatened. Hear inspiring tales of travel, art, adventure and putting engineering to good use from a former rocket-science turned professional do-gooder.

Also discussed: crocodile astrology, fishing vests and hippo power displays.
