Podcast with a Porpoise
I’ve enjoyed every episode of this podcast. Erica (and Ellie) have done a wonderful job of balancing education and fun around all things orca and marine research. This podcast welcomes a wide range of guests of various professions and specializations and I feel like I am always gaining a new perspective on something, learning lots, and hearing of new resources. Moreover, this podcast is openly inclusive to all and promotes accessibility. Thank you!!
