The Rising Tides Podcast

This podcast was a great listen! Very informative and helpful in understanding marine science. The complicated ideas were broken down so that anyone could understand.

This episode was extremely insightful and very interesting. I suavely have trouble staying engaged with podcasts but I didn’t struggle with that here! I learned a lot and I now have a new podcast to listen to that goes in depth on a topic I am passionate about! The ocean!

For someone who has never been interested in a topic like this, I genuinely enjoyed listening to this. I feel like there was a balance between educational and interesting. Will definitely be recommending this.

This episode offers a fascinating look at ROV Taurus, a powerful underwater robot pushing marine science to new depths. It’s clear, well paced, and makes complex tech feel accessible without dumbing it down. A great listen for anyone curious about ocean exploration and innovation.

I really enjoyed my first listen to this podcast! The each episode topic looks very intriguing for someone interested in marine science. I was drawn to the “decoding the colors of the ocean” episode title and it was very educational but equally entertaining. I think it is really great that USF St. Petersburg is combining science and journalism, this is a great way to join the two. I can’t wait to keep listening!

Gave the ROV “Taurus takes science too a new depth” episode and it was amazing super interesting to learn about the deep sea exploration technology used modern day. Also thought it was neat how scientist have real time communication with people on the shore so they can be relying what they are seeing in the deep sea. An example stated on the episode of this being useful is when locating new shipwrecks the team is able to contact a historian and try to figure out what ship it is, very cool stuff!... more

I just finished episode 6 of the Rising Tides Podcast and really enjoyed it. Being interested in both technology and the ocean I found the discussion about the ROV Taurus very interesting. Nicole Raineault's description of its size and function made it easy to picture and the thought of it being able to go 2.5 miles deep into the ocean and still be controlled remotely is just amazing

I listened to the podcast discussing hurricanes and red tide. As a Florida native, it is so interesting to hear about the science behind both of these common occurrences of nature in Florida. We deal with both of these things yearly in Florida. I think the work that they’re discovering and discussing can help educate people (maybe non Floridians) to help them better understand why these happen and how to prepare better.

I loved this podcast. I learned so much and felt it was very clear and communicated very well. I will definitely be listening again.

This podcast has been an enlightening episode that ends light on the interconnectedness of the oceanic processes and their impact on weather patterns and marine life. It was a very informative listen that I think many people should hear!

The Rising Tides Podcast explains ocean science in a clear, simple way. The episode on ocean colors was easy to follow and interesting. The host asked good questions, and the guest gave helpful answers. It’s a good listen for anyone curious about the ocean or science communication.

Great episode, I really enjoyed the guest speaker brought on the podcast! This topic is something I have been curious about, and I found this episode answering a lot of my questions. I also enjoyed that they talked about the future of AI and ocean bluing. I think it opened the floor to important discussions.

I absolutely LOVE marine science. I watch documentaries in my free time. The ocean is so interesting, so I definitely liked this podcast. In the future, I would love to see this podcast release video versions. Nice work- please continue these episodes!

I recently finished listening to the episode titled "Decoding the Colors of the Ocean," and I plan to continue with the following episodes. To my surprise, I learned a lot of new information. The podcast was clear and accessible, making it easy to understand. I really appreciate the fascinating content presented.

This podcast was very informative and interesting! I enjoyed the simplicity and directness of the topic at hand and the reasoning behind it.
