In this, the thirteenth episode of Shut Up and Answer the Question, the boys are joined by heavy metal marine biologist Tom "The Blowfish" Hird, theoretically to discuss turtle living arrangements but that quickly gives way to the best hour on oceanic science communication you'll ever hear. We discuss botched dives, the myriad ways the sea can kill you and how much of our waters are powered by poo. Please don't sue us! 

The Blowfish has a website here: https://www.theblowfish.co.uk/ for all his TV work, science communication and books. He also is on Instagram @BigPoppaBlowfish
