    P R O T E C T - Paul Rose

    It’s the final episode of series 1, and this week we speak to legendary explorer Paul Rose. Paul has led expeditions to some of the most remote regions on earth, spearheading initiatives that have helped protect huge swathes of our seas. Join us as we talk ocean optimism, adventure to Tristan Da Cuhna, and discuss the power we all have to care for and protect our magical, watery world.  And also, a big thanks to everyone who came on the podcast this series, we loved making every episode!  And remember:  ‘We need to do everything in our power to protect and restore what we can – as if our lives depend on it. Because they do.’ Sylvia Earle

    E V O L V E - Dr Emily Duncan

    As a society we have grown quickly. Building infrastructure, technology and products bigger, better and faster than we could ever have possibly imagined. Regardless of our impact. An evolutionary marvel, perhaps, but what if our next great leap was to evolve in a way that shared this precious planet with the creatures that came before us. This week we talk to sea turtle biologist, Dr Emily Duncan, chatting all things passion, poo, and plastics and how her work has taken her across the Pacific and up the Ganges. But most importantly, what we must change in order to live in harmony with these ancient creatures? After all… ‘It’s is not the strongest species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change’ - Charles Darwin

    R E F L E C T - Nicole Stott

    Is it time we realised that actually we are the crew of this great earth ship travelling through the cosmos, and not the passengers? With so much time to REFLECT right now, we thought it was the perfect chance to chat with NASA astronaut Nicole Stott on what it’s really like to go up into space... social distancing at its finest! Jokes aside, we really hope you enjoy this episode, and find a little ‘space’ in these crazy times to reflect on your mission going forward, let’s press reset and create a future we want for ourselves and our beautiful space ship earth.

    E X P L O R E - Graham Bayliss

    We know more about the surface of the moon than we do the depth of our ocean… But what does it mean to TRULY explore? Fulfilling our wildest dreams and ambitions may often seem impossible and unrealistic… but is that state of mind influenced by what we think society expects of us? We explore that idea in today’s episode, speaking to the staunch and dogged eccentric that is Graham Bayliss, the sole skipper of Casper II, a submarine he built himself... out of an old gas tank. “There are no impossible obstacles; there are just stronger and weaker wills, that’s all!” - Jules Verne Making Waves is brought to you by Manx environmental charity Sustain Our Seas instagram.com/sustain.our.seas facebook.com/sustain.our.seas

    C O N N E C T - Erland Cooper

    Building connection is a fundamental part of loving, caring and protecting our natural world. And there are many ways to connect, or reconnect with it. In this episode we speak to Scottish multi-instrumentalist and producer Erland Cooper. Originally from Stromness, Orkney, Erland’s work is inspired largely by his childhood home and themes of nature, birds and landscape. We went across the Irish Sea to speak to him about island life, his connection with the natural world and his critically acclaimed debut album Solan Goose.
