Episode notes

CNN's John Sutter talks about fatherhood and his passion for the environment. He says he hopes to be able to help bring back spaces where wild life can grow and thrive, not go extinct. The pair also talk about how we've ruined things when it comes to plastics in the ocean.

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.
