"Exploration is curiosity acted upon." — Don Walsh In this month’s episode, we’re honouring the late great Don Walsh, who sadly left us this month.

Alan is stranded out in the Pacific and Thom is left to present a show on genetics, a topic so confusing to him it may as well be magic. Luckily, friends of the show are on hand. Dr Heather Ritchie is tricked into co-hosting and we talk to Dr Johanna Weston about the things we can learn about the deep sea from genetic analysis. Feel free to get in …
