Episode notes

This week's episode is about the earth and also saving it. Allie ward says thank you to patrons who spend as little as 25 cents an episode supporting the show. The podcast is essential because it makes fun use of useful phrases, like "Howdy Howdy" or "slip into a good sandwich"

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.
