eDNA with Georgia Nester | The Deep Sea Podcast | Episode 59 Welcome to the PRESSURISED version of episode 59, just the science, none of the waffle   For this month's interview, we speak with Dr. Georgia Nester, a colleague of Alan's from the University of Western Australia, about eDNA (Environmental DNA is any genetic material left behind by organisms in an environment). She talks about how several collection methods, eg.: Niskin bottles, sponges and paper filters, located on the deep-sea lander system, can retrieve different types of eDNA from the deep. Georgia also touches on how diel migrators can really mess with eDNA data, and larvae gave her a surprise when she kept getting hits from very deep-living fish in her surface samples. Georgia even used a water sample to locate surprise eDNA evidence of the Giant Squid in Australian waters, which Al takes as a chance to remind  Thom of his Antarctic colossal squid failure.  Alan talks about how valuable he thinks eDNA is, how it can give a great snapshot of what can't be seen on the footage or in the submersible, and how it might be able to narrow down species that are difficult to catch, like Bassozetus cusk eels.  Support the show The show is self-sustaining, but we couldn't do it without you.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITFriday the 13th brings a collection of stories you likely haven't encountered through mainstream channels. From unexpected political dining companions to scientific discoveries frozen in time, this episode peels back layers of news that deserve attention but often get overlooked.We start with Senator John Fetterman's eyebrow-raising dinner with Steve Bannon at a prominent MAGA establishment—surprisingly, on Fetterman's wedding anniversary. While acknowledging Fetterman's recent stands supporting Israel and his willingness to reach across the aisle, we ponder the wisdom of associating with controversial figures like Bannon. This political odd couple exemplifies the complex nature of today's partisan landscape, where unexpected alliances continue to form and dissolve.The episode takes a darker turn examining the disturbing case of South Carolina Republican Representative RJ May, charged with distributing over 200 files of child pornography under an inappropriate username. This sobering story highlights both the depravity that technology can enable and important questions about how authorities can better protect children while pursuing those who exploit them.On a more enlightening note, we touch on the fascinating discovery of a 30-million-year-old "lost world" beneath Antarctic ice, described as opening a time capsule to Earth's distant past. We also explore longevity research suggesting dietary adjustments as we age, particularly reducing animal protein consumption after 65. The episode concludes with the remarkable tale of a modern-day Frank Abagnale Jr. who scored 120 free flights through a creative airline crew impersonation scheme.What's your favorite sports movie?

Douglas Mawson wasn't just a survivor—he was a scientific powerhouse who helped put Australia on the map of polar exploration. His adventures began with the 1907–1909 Nimrod Expedition under Ernest Shackleton, during which he became one of the first to reach the Magnetic South Pole and climb Mount Erebus. But it was his own Australasian Antarctic Expedition from 1911 to 1914 that sealed his place in history.Mawson's leadership, grit, and heartbreak defined that journey. Stranded alone after the deaths of his companions, he hauled himself across 160 kilometres of ice, surviving crevasses, starvation, and the brutal cold. His story isn't just about endurance—it's about the pursuit of knowledge at the edge of the world.Join Holly & Matthew as they explore the trials, triumphs, and enduring legacy of Douglas Mawson—Australia's Antarctic hero.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-crap-in-australia--2968350/support.

eDNA with Georgia Nester | The Deep Sea Podcast | Episode 59   “Exploration is about the place, adventurism is about the person, science is about the question” Professor Alan Jamieson   In an episode recorded earlier than usual, which is to say not recorded late, and so perhaps recorded right on time?... we are talking about environmental DNA or eDNA.  Thom is headed off to Norfolk Island, north of New Zealand, to characterize the unique life in the region and hopefully not be eaten by sharks. Alan's been up to secret things, organizing everyone's lives and, for a change, is recording this episode from the same country as the last one.  In the news, Thom and Alan discuss a recent paper about the extent of ocean exploration, the valuable research it was based on, and the unfortunately defeatist tone. There is a lot left to do, but we have done so much! Also in the news: Bottom trawling releases not only organic carbon into the ocean but also pyrite, which reacts with oxygen in the water and reduces the oceans' ability to absorb carbon from the air. An art installation pairs a Sri Lankan artist with JAMSTEC and NuStar Technologies for a collection of steel cubes located 7,000 meters (23,000 feet) below the ocean close to the Marianas Trench. The cubes are housed in a seismic monitoring system designed for registering tectonic plate movements. And finally Al and Thom discuss gene mutation in deep-sea fish and a new paper that gives evidence to an old theory that some deep-sea fish are  “ancient survivors,” from dinosaur times, while others are “new immigrants,” post mass extinction.  For this month's interview, we speak with Dr. Georgia Nester, a colleague of Alan's from the University of Western Australia, about eDNA (Environmental DNA is any genetic material left behind by organisms in an environment). She talks about how several collection methods, eg.: Niskin bottles, sponges and paper filters, located on the deep-sea lander system, can retrieve different types of eDNA from the deep.

Ormiston tells Matt Galloway about being chased by a seal in the planet's strange, southern continent — and why melting Antarctic ice will impact the rest of the

Lucy Watson talks to our Science Correspondent Martin Stew in Antarctica as he joins a team of scientists on a vital research mission on the so-called Boaty McBoatface - or the Sir David Attenborough.Making history as the first British journalist to go this far south in polar winter, Martin describes the incredible, but also alarming, change unfolding around him.He also tells of the scientists' hope that the grim prognosis for our planet can be turned around.

In a world of perpetual motion, there exists a realm of profound stillness—where light doesn't simply illuminate, it transforms. Far from home amid Earth's frozen tundras, time itself seems suspended in crystalline air. In today's podcast, we'll visit these places where time hangs in the balance, and we'll explore the intrepid mix of endurance, patience, and vision it takes to make pictures there. Joining us for this conversation are polar photography specialists Acacia Johnson and Jonas Paurell. From making distinctions between Arctic and Antarctic regions, to learning about the unique challenges involved with photographing there, our polar experts share many valuable insights. In addition to tips about packing and safeguarding camera gear in cold weather climates, we also discuss the importance of managing expectations during such trips, especially when faced with a long wait to see wildlife amid the barren stillness. As Alaskan photographer Acacia Johnson puts it, “… I think going into a trip with kind of a sense of exploration, like the joy of the trip is that you don't know, and it's completely unique to your experience. And whatever you do see is kind of a gift.”   Guests: Acacia Johnson & Jonas Paurell Episode Timeline: 3:37: Acacia Johnson's upbringing in the wilds of Alaska and leaving the area for photo studies at the Rhode Island School of Design in the lower 48. 7:35: Jonas Paurell's youth in Sweden and the impact his first trek to Scandinavian Arctic regions had on his soul. 14:08: The differences between Arctic and Antarctic polar landscapes, plus Acacia's experiences during a winter in Arctic Bay, with no sun for four months. 29:13: Different approaches to storytelling about the Arctic based on subject matter, and capturing an emotion in images that does justice to the landscape. 37:31: The logistics of getting to Arctic and Antarctic locations, and expenses involved with working and living there. 43:19: The Jubilee Expedition Jonas organized to celebrate the 150th anniversary of a legendary Swedish polar expedition to Svalbard. 51:20: Episode Break 51:38: Preparations for a polar expedition and the camera gear Acacia and Jonas pack. 1:00:31: Using a large format camera on polar expeditions, plus managing gear in extreme cold conditions. 1:06:42: Managing expectations for travelers, misconceptions when planning trips, plus different types of vessels used during expeditions to polar regions. 1:16:42: Cultivating an authentic connection to place when photographing polar regions. 1:21:29: The changing ethics of photographing in polar regions, plus findings from Jonas's Jubilee Expedition Guest Bios: Acacia Johnson is a photographer, writer, and a 2023 National Geographic Explorer based in Anchorage, Alaska. Drawn to painterly light and otherworldly landscapes, her work focuses on the environment, conservation, and connections between people and place. Over the past 10 years, she has made more than fifty expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica as a photographer and a guide—always seeking to inspire wonder and compassion for these remote regions during a time of rapid change. Her photographs have been exhibited internationally and have been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, National Geographic and TIME magazines, among other publications. In 2021, Acacia was awarded the Canon Female Photojournalist Grant, and in 2022 she received the ICP Infinity Award for Documentary Practices and Photojournalism. Jonas Paurell is an explorer, conservation photographer, photo educator, and speaker from Gothenburg, Sweden. One of his most ambitious projects is a 25-year documentation of the Arctic. Through ski expeditions and icebreaker voyages, he has captured both the resilience and vulnerability of Arctic landscapes, emphasizing the fragility of the region and the urgent need for preservation. In 2022, Jonas launched The Jubilee Expedition, recreating the historic Swedish Polar Expedition of 1872 to highlight this region's rapid melting and the far-reaching impacts of climate change. Jonas is also founder of Terra Photography Expeditions, which offers immersive workshops in both Arctic regions and South American rainforests, helping photographers deepen their connection with nature while refining their craft. Additionally, before dedicating his life to photography, Jonas served as a human rights lawyer for the United Nations.

A frozen, white world at the far-reaches of the globe, where you're surrounded by snow and silence, might sound rather appealing. Factor in temperatures that drop to -57°C and a few of us might be put off - but for glaciologist Liz Morris, that's very much her happy place.Liz is an Emeritus Associate at the University of Cambridge's Scott Polar Research Institute, and was among the first British women scientists to work on the planet's coldest continent, Antarctica. Over the course of her career, Liz has gathered vital data on polar ice sheets and how they're affected by climate change. She's also made numerous research trips across the Greenland Ice Shelf, and has a glacier named after her in Antarctica.In conversation with Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Liz discusses her fascination with glaciers and ice - and explains her unwavering determination to break into what was once a heavily male-dominated field. Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced for BBC Studios by Lucy Taylor

Brent Minchew is Co-Founder, Executive Director, and Chief Scientist at Arête Glacier Initiative, a new nonprofit launched to close the gap between frontier glaciology research and actionable sea-level forecasts—and to probe whether “brake-tapping” inside Antarctic glaciers can slow their slide into the sea. Brent explains why current models still span 1–6 feet of rise by 2100—even if Paris targets are met—and how melting glaciers, especially Antarctica's so-called “Doomsday Glacier,” drive that uncertainty. He details why glaciology remains drastically underfunded, how sea-level changes already threaten coastal economies via insurance markets, and where Arête's first $5 million in philanthropic capital is going. He also walks through early-stage solutions—from thermo-siphons that passively refreeze ice to pumping sub-glacial water—that could “hit the brakes” on glacier flow and buy humanity time for deep decarbonization.In this episode, we cover: [03:45] Launching Arête to bridge glacier science and solutions[05:38] Inside the “doomsday glacier” and its global risk[07:18] Why Thwaites may collapse even if we hit climate goals[09:51] Sea level rise: Millions displaced per inch[12:41] The silent crisis of glacial melt[13:28] Economic ripple effects of rising seas[15:53] What Larsen B's collapse taught us[20:04] Arête's model: Philanthropy + global research[22:51] Advancing glacier tech through TRL stages[25:45] How Antarctica is governed[35:28] Refreezing glaciers with thermo-siphons[45:00] Drilling costs vs. seawalls: Where's the value?Episode recorded on May 14, 2025 (Published on June 2, 2025) Enjoyed this episode?

After years of waiting, the GBGBs finally review Ryan's favorite movie, THE THING (1982)! Directed by John Carpenter, The Thing stars Kurt Russell as a stoic research scientist trapped in an Antarctic base with a shapeshifting alien that is violently assimilating his coworkers. Hijinks ensue, and somehow multiple WWII flamethrowers get involved.  We've also heard rumors that one of us is an assimilated Thing alien. We would like to publicly refute those rumors and assure our audience that gloopity schlorp glorp squelch SKREEEEEE  Thanks for stopping by!

Story of the Week (DR):Boeing strikes $1.1 billion deal with Justice Department over deadly 737 Max crashes—and must pay $445 million to victims' familiesBoeing will avoid a felony conviction by agreeing to pay over $1.1 billion, which includes a $243.6 million fine, $444.5 million to victims' families, and more than $455 million to enhance compliance, safety, and quality systems.The families were informed nearly a week after the DOJ said it had struck a tentative deal with Boeing that allows the company to avoid criminal prosecution for allegedly misleading regulators about the company's 737 Max plane before two crashes that killed 346 people.Market Basket CEO Arthur T Demoulas placed on administrative leave by board of directorsDemoulas has been placed on paid administrative leave by the company's board of directors, along with two of his children and several other executives.The board initiated an internal investigation into Demoulas' conduct, citing concerns over transparency and succession planning. Specifically, the board expressed frustration over limited access to critical company information, including budgets and plans for leadership succession, and alleged that Demoulas was planning a work stoppage. Demoulas has responded through a spokesperson, claiming he was "ousted" in what he describes as a "farcical cover for a hostile takeover." This situation echoes a similar family dispute in 2014, which led to widespread employee protests and customer boycotts in support of Demoulas. The current conflict raises questions about the company's leadership and future direction amid ongoing supermarket industry consolidationIn June 2014, CEO Arthur T. Demoulas was ousted by a board controlled by his cousin, Arthur S.

What does it take to ski alone for 51 days across one of the most unforgiving yet breathtaking terrains on Earth?In this powerful episode, we sit down with Mr. Satish Gogineni, the first Indian to ski unguided and unassisted to the South Pole. Over 51 solitary days on the Antarctic ice, Satish pulled his sled through freezing winds, cooked every meal himself, and found companionship in the strangest places—his harness, his socks, even the silence.As he opens up about the surreal beauty, the solitude that he often enjoyed, and the mental resilience required for such a feat, Satish takes us deep into what it means to embrace true stillness. He describes the surprising sadness he felt on reaching the South Pole—the goal he had chased for years—because it also meant the end of an experience that felt absolutely perfect.Beyond Antarctica, Satish is a mountaineering legend, having summited Everest, Lhotse, Annapurna, and more—often as the fastest Indian to do so. But it's his reflective honesty and quiet strength that makes this conversation unforgettable.Tune in for stories of survival, triumph, and the kind of adventure that changes you forever.A trigger warning: This episode contains discussions around mental health, anxiety and suicide.

Douglas Mawson wasn't just a survivor—he was a scientific powerhouse who helped put Australia on the map of polar exploration. His adventures began with the 1907–1909 Nimrod Expedition under Ernest Shackleton, during which he became one of the first to reach the Magnetic South Pole and climb Mount Erebus. But it was his own Australasian Antarctic Expedition from 1911 to 1914 that sealed his place in history.Mawson's leadership, grit, and heartbreak defined that journey. Stranded alone after the deaths of his companions, he hauled himself across 160 kilometres of ice, surviving crevasses, starvation, and the brutal cold. His story isn't just about endurance—it's about the pursuit of knowledge at the edge of the world.Join Holly & Matthew as they explore the trials, triumphs, and enduring legacy of Douglas Mawson—Australia's Antarctic hero.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-crap-in-australia--2968350/support.

You know about North Pole and the South Pole, where polar bears and penguins live. Have you heard of a third pole? West and south of the Tibetan Plateau, a mountainous area holds more glaciers than any place in the world outside the Arctic and Antarctic poles. This region has a special significance for fiber artists: it is the home and habitat of the goats that produce much of the world's cashmere. And as at the North and South Poles, climate change is threatening the animals and people who call this region home. To bring attention to the threat to glaciers in the region, engineer Sonam Wangchuk climbed into the Himalayas of in Ladakh, India, and carried back a 7 kilogram chunk of glacier. It began a journey across two continents, wrapped in 3 kilograms of cashmere, and finally arrived at the United Nations in New York. The UN has named 2025 the International Year of Glaciers' Preservation (https://www.un-glaciers.org/en), and Wangchuk's Travelling Glacier brought the threat of climate change to the world's door. The cashmere covering the sample not only insulated the ice, it also demonstrates what's at risk when glaciers melt. The animals and people living in these regions depend on glaciers for water; when the glaciers melt too abruptly, the overflow of water sweeps away whole villages and cities in devastating floods. Stories of people and animals on other continents can seem remote, abstract, and hopeless, but joining in the movement to preserve this important resource can be as near as your fingertips. Long Thread Media is joining with Wild Fibers to sponsor the Cashmere on Ice Contest (https://cashmere.longthreadmedia.com/), which invites fiber artists to make a project containing cashmere. Projects can be wearable or decorative; a special category highlights fiber grown in the Ladakh region from which Wangchuk sourced his Travelling Glacier. In this episode, celebrated storyteller and wild fiber expert Linda Cortright shares details about why she cares passionately about this crisis and what fiber artists can do to help the cause. Learn about the contest (https://cashmere.longthreadmedia.com/) and find an FAQ (https://spinoffmagazine.com/a-fiber-contest-with-global-impact) for more details. Discover the Wild Fibers (https://www.wildfibersmagazine.com/cashmereonice) resource page. Hear about the effects of glacial melt in another high-elevation fiber-producing region: the Andes.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 742 Is your fear of suffering keeping you from discovering the deepest treasures of your soul? Author and extreme adventurer, Akshay Nanavati, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 742, to share how embracing suffering during his 60-day solo crossing of Antarctica became the key to transcending limitations and unlocking pure potential, what his journey taught him about the paradox of oneness, and why the only way out of suffering is through it. "When you stop resisting suffering, it frees you from the grasp of suffering. It's not the suffering in and of itself that I seek. Suffering is the means, not the purpose.

This month will see thousands of people take to streets around the world to test their feats of endurance. It's marathon season. And this week, we're looking at the science behind what keeps you running. We'll learn about the psychological preparation that goes into undertaking mammoth challenges, like marathons and expeditions, and meet a scientist from the UK Space Agency who's endured the Antarctic winter, and is now training to be an astronaut. We'll find out just how genetic our ability to cope with endurance exercise is. How air pollution could be affecting your running times. And find out how evolution has gifted our animal friends with some unique ways of getting ahead. As well as all that, there's the science of what makes something ugly. And an exciting innovation that could see us using cow dung to fuel our cars. All that and more in this week's Unexpected Elements.     Presenter: Alex Lathbridge, Chhavi Sachdev and Candice Bailey Producers: Robbie Wojciechowski with Alice Lipscombe-Southwell, Imaan Moin, and Minnie Harrop

Another recent scientific report documents how the Antarctic Ice Sheet, which we have been propagandized to zealously believe is one of the major players in rising sea levels, has actually gained, not lost, ice in the previous decade or so. The study found that, “Between 2002 and 2010, the AIS lost mass at a rate of about 73.79 Gt/year, a figure that doubled to 142.06 Gt/year during the 2011 to 2020 period.” These finding obviously challenge the “narrative of consistent mass loss in the region.” The same is actually true for the Australia coral reef too.This is one of many stories that in fact not just challenges the repeated narrative(s), but essentially destroys them. With more ice comes more reflection of sunlight, something universities, billionaires, and even governments have finally admitted to doing, or wanting to do, themselves. As the official narrative around melting ice likewise melts away, we are at a turning point where the introduction of geoenginering programs - which have been around for decades - will likely be given credit for reversing the melting of the various icy regions of earth. At the very least, they'll be given credit for reversing climate change. But it's not CC that has been reversed; instead, it's the narrative. The same narrative is changing around overpopulation, too, and not just because people are figuring out there is a difference between the overcrowding of cities and overpopulation of the planet. A recent report suggests that we may have underestimated the number of humans on the planet. This is especially coincidental considering birth rates are falling globally and population is on the verge of a steep drop off. Likewise, the narrative about starvation and lack of available food, while certainly true for some very specific regions of the planet, is rapidly changing as well. For example, the U.S. wastes about 40% of its entire food supply due due to expiration date confusion or the simple wasting of produce - about 60 million tons. Interestingly, about half of what we buy is ultraprocessed junk. Outside the U.S. the whole world “wastes about 2.5 billion tons of food every year.” In other words, there is plenty of food - so much, we waste near half of it every year. With just these few examples, you can see that we don't have a melting ice issue, we don't have an overpopulation issue, we don't have a food scarcity issue, etc. We have a reporting and narrative issue. These lies have spread so rapidly through society that they have become like a religious doctrine. Showing people the evidence provided here is irrelevant to their predetermined conclusions, which justify genetic engineering, geoengineering, synthetic biology, synthetic food, and the like through the lens of saving the world. In the process of trying to “save the world” these “solutions” threaten to make humans extinct. In other words, it's not the threat of something like climate change, which is evidently false and misleading, but instead the solution offered to fight it that threatens to extinct mankind. Perhaps that was the goal all along, because to eliminate C02 is to eliminate all current life on the planet. Now you see man, now you don't. And the elimination of “all current life” doesn't have to be literal extermination, it can be the promotion of having more kids via a Team Humanity that support synthetic biology, electric cars, microchips, a grid of satellites, etc, all things that make humans more obsolete, and renders them as nothing more than the information and energy resources for AI. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Welcome to the PRESSURISED version of episode 58, just the science, none of the waffle   We are still talking about Antarctica, the continent that keeps on giving!   For this month's interview, we speak with Devin Harrison - Marine Geoscientist/Postdoctoral Researcher at Kelpie Geoscience - Devin is a postdoctoral research fellow at Kelpie Geoscience. His research utilises high-resolution topographic models of the seafloor and complementary geophysical and geospatial datasets to understand the geomorphic evolution and process landform relationship of the deep sea and the continental shelves. Devin is particularly interested in the glacial geomorphological record and the evolution of glacial environments from the last glacial maximum (~20-25 thousand years ago) to the present day.   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. We want to say a huge thank you to those patrons who have already pledged to support us: Elena Thanks again for tuning in; we'll deep-see you next time!   Check out our podcast merch here!   Feel free to get in touch with us with questions or your own tales from the high seas on: podcast@deepseapod.com We'd love to actually play your voice so feel free to record a short audio note!   We are also on  BlueSky: @deepseapod.com Twitter: @DeepSeaPod Instagram: @deepsea_podcast   Keep up with the team on social media Twitter:  Alan - @Hadalbloke Thom - @ThomLinley  Instagram:  Thom - @thom.linley  Inkfish - @inkfishexpeditions BlueSky: Thom @thomaslinley.com   Reference list Dowdeswell, J.A., Canals, M., Jakobsson, M., Todd, B.J., Dowdeswell, E.K. and Hogan, K.

Time travel technology came into the possession of different governments and organizations in the post-WW II era due to extraterrestrials conducting a ‘temporal war' over Earth's future timelines.This all began when the German Vril Society achieved breakthroughs in torsion field physics and antigravity technology in the 1920s, which Nazi Germany took over in the 1930s and soon after, reached agreements with Draco Reptilian extraterrestrials to set up a breakaway German colony in Antarctica to safely develop space-time technologies.The Antarctic-based German colony was later used as a proxy in a temporal war with other interstellar civilizations, which had become alarmed over changes in the Earth's timelines because it made our planet the ‘future epicenter' for galactic-wide tyranny to take hold.Further, as a result of UFO crash retrieval operations in the US and the Soviet Union in the 1940s, scientists began studying how extraterrestrial spacecraft could also be used as space-time travel devices. In the 1950s, Vatican scientists developed the first ‘Chronovisor' technology which was instrumental in unlocking timeline secrets. Next, multiple classified projects next launched to test how timelines could be impacted by human intervention.Meanwhile, positive extraterrestrial groups, ancient Inner Earth civilizations, and human civilizations from our future began monitoring and intervening to protect the possible timelines that had significant galactic implications. Thus began a temporal war which continues today.In this all new webinar, Dr. Michael Salla presents extensive witness testimony and documents that cast light on the opaque world of time travel technology and its hybrid uses by different military intelligence entities, and shows why this information is critical for people's understanding of current events taking place today.

President Trump confirms he offered U.S. military support to take on the cartels, but Mexico's president rejected the help. The President shakes up the news cycle with surprise posts on potentially reopening Alcatraz prison and slapping tariffs on foreign-made films. At a lively press event, President Trump announces DC as the 2027 NFL Draft site, shrugs off the viral “Pope Trump” meme, and weighs in on a self-deportation program offering cash and flights to illegal immigrants. A new peer-reviewed study finds Antarctica's ice sheet grew from 2020 to 2023, challenging long-held assumptions about climate change trends.Riverbend Ranch: Visit https://riverbendranch.com/ | Use promo code MEGYN for $20 off your first order. Tax Network USA: Call 1-800-958-1000 or visit https://TNUSA.com/MEGYN to speak with a strategist for FREE today

In this impassioned broadcast aimed at young listeners riding to school, the host challenges mainstream climate change narratives taught in public education, highlighting recent data showing Antarctic ice sheet growth. He urges parents to turn up the volume and explains why he believes climate fear is used as a tool for government control. Drawing on historical patterns and solar science, he argues that cooling, not warming, is underway—and that capitalism, not carbon, is the real target.

We are still talking about Antarctica, the continent that keeps on giving! Alan and Thom discuss trying to stop working momentarily, constructing a treehouse, and acquiring a shark. In the news, we rattle off a list of newly discovered species with some very cool (but hard to pronounce) names. There has been a lot of squiddy news. Footage of divers swimming with a giant squid has resurfaced; in an exclusive for the podcast, Alan has recorded more amazing Magnapinna (bigfin or elbow squid) footage. And the biggest bit of news: the colossal squid has been seen alive in its natural habitat for the first time! Thom and Kat were part of the press conference. Megalodon (the not-deep-sea and very extinct shark) has been reassessed based on what we do know. It was likely longer and slimmer than we thought, and we have estimations for their speed and size at birth. We also have a new coelacanth population and a classic car found in the deep.   For this month's interview, we speak with Devin Harrison - Marine Geoscientist/Postdoctoral Researcher at Kelpie Geoscience - Devin is a postdoctoral research fellow at Kelpie Geoscience.

Get ready for a paradigm-shattering episode of The Courtenay Turner Podcast as Courtenay welcomes back Mark Gober, the fearless author behind An End to Upside Down Cosmos, for his most controversial conversation yet. In this electrifying return, Gober and Turner pull back the cosmic curtain to expose the cracks, cover-ups, and contradictions at the heart of mainstream cosmology. Together, Courtenay and Mark dive deep into the possibility that humanity's understanding of the cosmos has been systematically inverted. They explore the idea that the Earth may not be a globe at all, but a flat, domed world-an ancient cosmology dismissed and ridiculed by modern science, yet fiercely defended by those who see through the lies. What if the Antarctic ice wall is real, and NASA's true mission is to guard the edge of the world? What if the stars, sun, and moon are not distant spheres, but local lights set above us, just as ancient texts describe? This episode doesn't just question the shape of the Earth-it questions the very motives behind the information we're fed. Is there a motherlode cosmological conspiracy designed to keep humanity in the dark, to sever us from our true nature and potential? And if so, what are the spiritual and societal consequences of living under such a grand illusion? Tune in for a conversation that will ignite your curiosity, challenge your beliefs, and leave you wondering: What else have we been lied to about? After this episode, you may never look at the sky-or your place beneath it-the same way again. ▶Follow & Connect with Mark Gober:✩ Website✩ Twitter ▶Get Mark's Books: ✩An End to the Upside Down Cosmos: Rethinking the Big Bang, Heliocentrism, the Lights in the Sky…and Where We Live ✩An End to Upside Down Thinking: Dispelling the Myth That the Brain Produces Consciousness, and the Implications for Everyday Life ✩An End to Upside Down Medicine: Contagion, Viruses, and Vaccines—and Why Consciousness Is Needed for a New Paradigm of Health ✩An End to Upside Down Liberty: Turning Traditional Political Thinking on Its Head to Break Free from Enslavement ✩An End to Upside Down Living: Reorienting Our Consciousness to Live Better and Save the Human Species ✩An End to Upside Down Contact: UFOs, Aliens, and Spirits—and Why Their Ongoing Interaction with Human Civilization ✩An End to the Upside Down Reset: The Leftist Vision for Society Under the “Great Reset”—and How It Can Fool Caring People into Supporting Harmful Causes __________________________________________________________________ ▶ GET On-Demand Access for Courtenay's Cognitive Liberty Conference Cognitive liberty Conference ----------------------------------------- ▶ Follow & Connect with Courtenay: CourtenayTurner.com Linktree ▶ Support my work & Affiliate links: Buy Me A Coffee GiveSendGo Venmo Cash APP RNC Store Vitamin B-17!
