This Kringle Situation
Dr. Fish called us out for some Lakies errors, so we invited him on to talk it over. Plus, the return of Great Lakes News and we talk with Tim Campbell about that...thing that he ate at a baseball game.

Yikes! Audio!
If you have an old copy of episode 91, you can delete it and re-download if you want to actually "hear" the "guest". Thanks, and sorry!

Customer Reviews
For anyone looking to relax and learn
I recently started listening as several episodes were posted up in UIUC’s free webinar resources page.
As a central IL native interested in environmental conservation and sustainability, these podcasts are great! For me, they offer a great way to stay connected and informed about the Midwest. I really love the format between the introduction briefing at the beginning, the constantly neat guest-perts, and the same old wrap-up questions at the end of the show. The information is always in plain-speak or explained for those unfamiliar with a term or something too which really makes each show easy to digest and memorable from an education standpoint.
To any other similar nerds like me, this is a chill ~30min podcast that hits once a month. To others around the Great Lakes, I would imagine you get a lot more out of this as well. Really cool that the IN-IL Sea Grant is providing this content for free!
Deep and Wide
This is exactly the kind of podcast that we need more of. Learning about how the big and important features of our world work is crucial. Though humans like to believe we can control everything, really so much is provided and established before we begin our creative or scientific or engineering processes. The Great Lakes change weather, climate, landscape, transportation, recreation, industry, power supplies, etc. This podcast, in a fun manner, introduces us to these ideas but does not stop there. It goes deeper in answering questions and exploring cutting edge research about our Great Lakes. Thank you for making this accessible and fun and for including experts of diverse kinds. I can’t wait for the next episode!
