As it turns out, returning to life on land after a mega deep-sea expedition takes a lot of work! So, whilst we aren't quite ready to share with you our Tonga Trench special, here is a mini-episode to keep you busy until we get back to you with episode 50.

We're talking all about SQUIDTEMBER with long-time friend of the show, Kat Bolstad from the AUT Squid Squad. Which squid will reign supreme come the end of the month? It's up to you to decide! You can find the links to vote, plus all of the other festivities here on the AUT Twitter page. 

Thom and Kat also tell us a little about their latest project... attempting to flirt with deep-sea squid. Light-up paddles are involved.

Thanks so much for bearing with us whilst we get episode 50 together for you, we can't wait for you to hear it soon!

Thanks again for tuning in, we’ll deep-see you next time!
