The Pondcast

The Pondcast

Hosted by our own crew of “turtle nerds”, The Pondcast brings you its own brand of hilarity interspersed between the educational and informative discussions that are the centerpiece of each episode. In addition to audio-only versions available on your favorite podcast sites, The Pondcast is broadcast LIVE on YouTube and Facebook each month.

    Bleep! with Ana Navarro

    Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
