SEO is dead. Now what? (w/ Steven van Wyk)
SEO is dying -- and if you're not paying attention to what's replacing it, you're already behind.In this episode, I sit down with digital marketing strategist Stephen van Wyk, who's just completed a deep-dive course in AEO -- Ask Engine Optimization. It's the emerging discipline that determines how your brand shows up in AI answers, and it's changing the rules of digital visibility entirely.We cover: what AEO actually is (and why it's more than a rebrand of SEO), why small brands have a real shot at standing...

What is the Deep Sea Even Like? with Dr. Thomas Linley
What is the deep sea — really? Deep-sea researcher Dr. Thom Linley (Curator of Fishes at Te Papa Tongarewa, National Museum of New Zealand) breaks down the deep ocean as a connected world with distinct zones, ecosystems, and rules — not one mysterious “blob.” From the bathyal and abyssal to the hadal trenches, this conversation maps what’s down there, how life survives crushing pressure and perpetual darkness, and why the deep sea functions as the engine under the hood of the entire planet.This episode explores:What counts as “deep sea” (and why the definition is changing)The m...

What is Ocean Deoxygenation? with Dr. Sven Pallacks
Ocean oxygen shapes marine life in ways most of us never think about. This episode explores how oxygen enters the ocean (air–sea exchange and photosynthesis), how it circulates through surface waters and the deep sea, and why scientists track changes in oxygen over time. Learn what oxygen minimum zones are, how they form, and what they can mean for midwater ecosystems in the mesopelagic (“twilight”) zone.Featuring research that uses fossil fish ear bones (otoliths) preserved in seafloor sediment, the conversation looks back thousands of years to reconstruct a past oxygen shift in the Mediterranean—and what...

Ocean Story Hour with Anabelle Chaumun
Making marine biodiversity visible for everyone Marine biodiversity is vast, complex—and mostly out of sight. In this “ocean story hour” episode, a Paris-based science communicator, Anabelle Chaumun, shares how to translate marine research into stories people can actually feel and remember. We explore why misinformation spreads faster than evidence, why ocean issues can feel distant, and how storytelling (and images) can make the invisible ocean world tangible. Anabelle also introduces EMBRC (the European Marine Biological Resource Centre) and how its network of marine stations supports research that improves food safety, sustainable aquaculture, and ecosystem understanding across Europe.

Science Toward Solutions: Ocean Microplastic Research with Dr. Winnie-Courtene Jones
What have we learned about microplastics over the last 20 years? This episode surveys two decades of ocean microplastics science: where microplastics come from (fibers, tires, fragmentation, microbeads), where they’re found (shorelines, water column, sea ice, deep sea), and what research shows about impacts across food webs and ecosystems. It also unpacks major gaps—nanoplastics, fragmentation rates, and the thousands of chemicals used in plastics—plus why scientists argue for a precautionary approach even as human-health research evolves. Finally, learn how microplastics are measured at sea (manta trawls, spectroscopy) and why contamination control matters. The episode connects the science to pol...

We trust algorithms with our taste more than we trust ourselves.In this solo episode, I reflect on how feeds quietly shape what we consume, what we think we like, and how we see ourselves. From preference vs taste to feedback loops and creative flattening, this is a short, philosophical look at what happens when convenience replaces curiosity.This isn’t about deleting apps or rejecting technology.It’s about paying attention again, creating a little friction, and remembering that engagement isn’t the same as self-knowledge.
