Podcasts about eels

More than a century ago, all that people knew about European eels was that they lived in the rivers and streams for decades — until they swam out to the ocean and never returned. Eventually, tiny eels would show up and the cycle would start again. Where did the adult eels go? Where did the baby eels come from? Did they even reproduce at all or just spontaneously emerge into being? Science now has some — but not all — of the answers to these questions. Today on the show, Regina G. Barber talks to fish physiologist Arjan Palstra about this mystery and how close scientists are to solving it. If you liked this episode, check out our episode on the Pacific lamprey.Interested in more science mysteries?

Ready for an argument? League Lists is a new interactive Podcast Series where you nominate the list ... and I share my thoughts. This weeks list, The Best Maroons!

Before you dive into SEA-son 2026, we're taking one last detour into the deep.  This week's episode is a special supercut of some of our favorite ocean-animal mysteries from past SEA-son episodes featuring creatures that are somehow equal parts fascinating, terrifying, and probably smarter than all of us combined.  From dolphins that may be way more manipulative than their cute reputation suggests, to octopuses that seem suspiciously alien, to the impossible life cycle of eels,  we're revisiting the strangest stories the ocean has to offer.  So whether you're new here or ready for a refresher before we launch into a brand-new summer of maritime conspiracies and coastal weirdness… welcome back to the deep end.Send us Fan MailSupport the showTheme song by INDA

"The work that I'm involved with is more at catchment, at river basin scale. So it's trying to do the best we can - for us it's within the Thames - to hold as many eels in it as possible within that can grow up and migrate back to the Sargasso."The European eel is a truly fascinating creature, spending its life in freshwater rivers, streams, and even ponds, before turning silvery blue and swimming all the way to Bermuda's Sargasso Sea to breed. Eels are disappearing fast. In this episode Joe Pecorelli of the Zoological Society of London and joins Ben Goldsmith to talk about amazing eels and what can be done to restore them to their former abundance.Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast. Join him as he speaks to people from all over the world who champion nature and are helping to restore habitats and wildlife to some of the most nature depleted parts of our planet.This podcast is produced by The Podcast Coach.Text Rewilding the World here.

Eels are pretty much objectively unsettling. They’re not quite fish (although they are) and if they’re snakes, they’re messed up snakes (they aren’t). But they’re fascinating too! There are even little cute eels. It’s time you got acquainted with eels!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Tuesday with banter about holidays and tech-challenged parents, including a caller whose mum brought an Apple Watch with the screen hanging off. They play More or Less on extreme city temperatures, share scandal about AI writing and a young actress leaving the HBO Harry Potter series after season one, and discuss a reported leak of Pornhub Premium user data. The team fails to reach a Take the Edge Off My Life winner, then swap stories about broken items “hanging by a thread” and the habit of filling online carts without buying. They try cracking the Neutrogena vault code, talk early job quitters, read Dan’s teen diary, interview viral bridesmaid Georgie Bell about her dress ripping during a worm, and debate A-lister list rankings for Brendan Fraser, Dave Grohl and Snoop Dogg. 00:00 Cold Open and Welcome 02:00 Zoo Animal Naming Update 03:51 Wiggles Tickets and Mum Math 06:53 Boomers vs Tech Callers 10:01 More or Less Weather Quiz 16:28 Naughty 640 20:27 Love on the Spectrum Talent 24:01 Take the Edge Off Calls 27:52 Hanging On By a Thread Hacks 35:38 Play Shopping Confessions 36:24 Abandoned Cart Confessions 37:59 Caller Cart Addiction 39:52 Discount Code Hack 40:38 Neutrogena Vault Challenge 42:51 Ginny Weasley Quits 46:53 Early Quitter Stories 52:03 Dan's Diary Readout 56:00 Viral Wedding Worm 01:06:09 A Lister Rankings

What are eels? And why are some eels electric? We head to Poughkeepsie, New York to learn about eels with Chris Bowser, Hudson River estuary educator with the New York Department of Environmental Conservation. Plus we learn about electric eels. Electric eels have captured the imagination of many people, but they're not actually considered eels by the scientific community. They're a type of knife fish, more closely related to catfish and carp. But they are electric! So we'll tackle why they're electric and how they create electricity. David de Santana, of the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, tells us what it's like to study electric eels in the Amazon.Download our learning guides: PDF | Google Slide | Transcript

It's been a few months since the release of a new LTA podcast…a lot has happened in my life that meant I had to stand back from the show – not for the first time in its (nearly) 15 year existence….yet, I come back because discussing music with fellow music lovers, and putting those discussions into your earholes is something I love doing. With that said……. ...welcome to episode 192 of Love That Album Podcast. Music is supposed to bring us happiness and joy. Sometimes though, it's created as a form of catharsis for songwriters or performers. In 1998, Mark Everett's band / collective Eels released their second LP Electro-Shock Blues. Everett had faced truly difficult times with the death of his sister Liz from suicide, and the death of his mother from cancer. His father had died several years earlier. Mark barely knew him as he was absorbed in his work as a quantum physicist. A genius in his field, but reportedly, the opposite as a father. To mentally cope with his awful situation, Everett wrote the songs for Electro-Shock Blues that deal with what was in his head and what was in his sister's head leading up to her death. It's not a cathartic record in the same way that the Lennon Plastic Ono Band is – there's no Janov screaming, and Everett's music is often wistful even if his stories are not. It's written with nuance and is direct – is that a contradiction in terms? There is catharsis, but not in a tear-down the walls way. Electro-Shock Blues is not a joyful listen, but it's not ugly either. It's a series of aural vignettes about a man coming to terms with tragedy. It's musically dark but it's also playful at times. I didn't feel like making this a conversation with a fellow music lover – this episode is me going through the album's history, and unpacking what Everett is doing, both lyrically and musically, and trying to determine his mental state at the time. To some, this may seem like a peculiar way for me to re-enter podcasting, but it was a show I felt compelled to do. I hope you get something out of it. The book I sourced for information was Mark Everett's autobiography “Things The Grandchildren Should Know". The BBC documentary I refer to is called “Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives”.

Wests Tigers' 2026 season is at a key juncture. Are we slip-slidin' down the ladder, or was Sunday afternoon a bump in the road? Succumbing 52-10 against a Sharks team that has been struggling for form, Wests Tigers fans have every right to feel dejected.But, with several key men out, or failing even to finish that game through injury, are things as bad as they seem? Was it a true reflection of our team? On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Josh, and Nick try to find some answers from a very lamentable afternoon in the shire.Some of the main talking points include the numerous errors, the poor defensive reads, and the Wests Tigers' lack of physical presence and creative flair. Of course, the question is also asked - how much did the Luai contract talk last week take effect?Can some positional changes this week get us back on track? Is it time to call on some talented youngsters? Will Benji Marshall be conservative with the side he names to take on the Storm?We try to look at some options to get our side up again.There's also discussion about the future of Jeral Skelton with talk he might be getting off the bus soon and joining the Eels.Watch or listen to this edition of the podcast for an interesting array of 'One Word' submissions from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum as well.We're all feeling it, Wests Tigers fans, but let's try and keep our chin up and give the struggling Storm a real game on Sunday afternoon! Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wests-tigers-podcast--6660380/support.

No animal has made some of the smartest people ever seem more stupid than eels. This is why Steed and Jrad tell you everything you need to know in this week's Chubstep. The guys start with still being ranked in the top 10 of Tanzanian podcasts, topical/tropical storms in Saipan, and Steed's heroic rescue of a family in need and his likely familial tie to Jesus before getting to Eels. For eels the guys start with how little there still is known about how they reproduce, all coming from one location, the idiocracy of: Aristotle and Sigmund Freud, the black market around baby eels, electric eels influence on the battery, hippies powering their house with electric eels, terrible to less terrible eel meals, and eels in noses

Iwi volunteers are desperately working to save as many eels as they can from a dried-up lake bed on coastal Manawatu. The rescue operation at Pukepuke Lagoon began late last week, and since then an estimated 3,000 eels have since been moved into waterways elsewhere. Meanwhile, there's calls for an investigation into how this has happened. Reporter Jimmy Ellingham visited the lake.

The boys dive straight into the nostalgia, reminiscing about the old days of dragging heavy 50-meter microphone cords onto the field for post-game interviews. They also celebrate the roaring success of the Wests Tigers and North Queensland Cowboys. State of Origin talk heats up as the boys pick their origin bolters. Tipping gets tense as Piggy officially tries to pull the pin on his predictions after repeatedly backing struggling teams like the Eels and Dragons. Listener questions spark deep dives into the best players the boys ever shared the field with. The guys reflect on the brutal, forgotten art of contested scrums, sharing tales of flying headgear, uppercuts, and biting. Finally, MG reveals the truth behind the 1991 State of Origin carnage, confirming he was given a green light that ultimately ended in a six-week suspension.

That would be the Counting Crows' "Accidentally in Love", which would end up falling to Jorge Drexler's "Al Otro Lado del Rio" from The Motorcycle Diaries. For covers, you have Butterfly Boucher covering David Bowie's "Changes", Frou Frou covering Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero" and Pete Droge covering "Ever Fallen in Love" by the Buzzcocks. Tom Waits and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds also appear in the soundtrack with previously released songs, as do The Eels, who are the connective thread between the various Shrek soundtracks. Candice attributes the Shrek 2 soundtrack to filling in pop culture blind spots of her youth and joins the hosts in making predictions about the upcoming Shrek 5 sequel.

Eels are a popular food in parts of Asia, but they can't be commercially bred in captivity. Coupled with trade bans to protect the highly endangered fish, this has led to baby eels becoming one of the most trafficked creatures in the world. BBC Eye and DOCDAYS investigate this global trade from the rivers of the UK to Haiti, Poland and Russia. We're in the UK where the last remaining eel trader in the country has a licence to export baby eels to stock a conservation project in Russia. But questions have been raised over whether this is really what's going on. We visit an investigative journalist in Poland who's been looking into these exports to Russia and elsewhere in Eastern Europe. With access to a member of an organised crime gang from Hong Kong, we hear how smugglers evade the French authorities to export baby eels to Asia. We also visit the Caribbean where a new and booming demand for glass eels is having a big impact on communities and politics in the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
