This is our third Deco-Stop episode, and this time we’re focusing on eco-anxiety. We are currently in the midst of an ecological crisis, but eco-anxiety is something of a mental health crisis in response.

"Exploration is curiosity acted upon." — Don Walsh

In this month’s episode, we’re honouring the late great Don Walsh, who sadly left us this month. You may have noticed that we hadn’t heard from Don in a good few months. He had a couple of ops that required some getting over, but that wasn’t going to slow him down. In September he was going...

We all know that Thom and Alan aren’t the biggest fans of ‘air-breathers’ aka. marine mammals like dolphins and whales, but there are a few species that are allowed into the deep-sea club. We hear from Dr Nicola Quick who researches the incredibly elusive beaked whales, a group that likely spends the majority of their time in the deep sea. These interesting whales have been seen diving to depths of 3000 m, which way exceeds the max...

Plus, we get to hear the infamous story of when The Professor and T...
