  • Very Fun podcast!

    If you like all things whales, you will enjoy this podcast. The hosts are 3 enthusiastic whale nerds! (I mean that with the utmost respect🤪). The episodes range from 10 mins to almost 2 hours. They cover research papers they have found. They discuss their own experiences being around whales. They also have experts in a variety of topics on whales as guests on the show. I like their enthusiasm and like learning new facts about whales.
