The Deep-Sea Podcast has grown steadily over the last two years and has just cracked the top 3% of global podcasts!

Charting under Life Sciences in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and Germany. What started out as a lockdown project, is an attempt to bring the real deep-sea to more and more people... whilst having fun on the way. The show hosts a range of incredible guests, from researchers and artists to film directors and royalty, all with one common thread – a fascination for the deep-sea.

Hosted by Thomas Linley and Alan Jamieson, with regular guest Don Walsh (pilot of the first dive to Challenger Deep and all-round oceanic-legend), the show keeps you up to date, providing commentary on the latest deep-sea discoveries and tales of life at sea - without taking things too seriously. The show acts as a bridge, putting creatives in touch with collections to meet their inspirations, connecting specialists from other sectors with members of the deep-sea community, and involving the public in scientific contributions. There’s also been a surprising amount of consultancy given on biological accuracy for tattoo designs.

In an age of misinformation and mistrust of science, the show aims to show the human side of scientists. Not a cold ivory-tower elite but passionate people working hard. Whilst not perfect, co-host Thom Linley considers it one of the most rewarding outputs of his career. It’s been a fun ride so far, with only more adventures to come, so tune in to your favourite podcast provider and get in touch!

We are currently in the midst of an ecological crisis, but eco-anxiety is something of a mental health crisis in response. But how should we be handling these emotions? Whilst there’s not an a-z list of how to eliminate climate anxiety, there are people finding comfort in their own ways.

Last month, visitors of the 46th annual Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival were transported into the hadal zone with composer Zibuokle Martinaitye, and we were lucky enough to be on the journey with them.

What does a deep-sea company from the North-East of England and Avatar 2 have in common?
