Ancient Oceans, Modern Consequences

4/29/2024
Episode 4 – Ancient Oceans, Modern Consequences Every time we make our morning coffee, jump in a car, or turn on a light, we have prehistoric oceans to thank. In episode 4 of Peak & Plunge, we talk to special guest Joanie Kleypas, a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research based in Boulder, Colorado. As an inlander climate AND coral scientist, she’s the perfect person to help illuminate how fossil fuels, climate change, inland choices, and ocean health are all interconnected. Why aren’t most fossil fuels actually dead dinosaurs? What the HECK even is coral? And what does our dependence on fossil fuels, inland or otherwise, mean for the future of the sparkling blue?

Whose Sustainability Is It Anyway?

4/15/2024
The show where the word is made up and your seafood choices matter! In episode 3 of Peak & Plunge, we talk to special guest Cory Nash, Outreach Manager at the esteemed Monterey Bay Seafood Watch program, about our relationships with seafood. In a world where overfishing threatens not only the ocean's health but the lives and rights of us humans - this relationship holds a lot more weight that most realize. What the heck does sustainable even mean, and who is it for? Does the seafood we eat inland matter?

Healthy Soils, Healthy Seas

4/1/2024
Let’s remember… everything goes somewhere. In episode 2 of Peak & Plunge, we talk to special guests Seth Watkins and Mia Glover about how inland agriculture, our food systems, climate, and the oceans all relate. Seth is the owner of Pinhook Farm, where he raises beef cattle, hair sheep, chickens, bees… and where he challenges agricultural convention daily. He sees the connections between what he does on the farm and the oceans of the world - and strives to steward and bolster those connections instead of conquering and degrading them. Can where you buy food make the difference between clean beaches and a lot of dead fish?

Ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no deep sea low enough Ain't no potato large enough To keep me from talking bout you, sea~ In episode 1 of Peak & Plunge, we talk to special guest Mark Haver about the controversial practice of Deep Sea Mining. As Global Policy Advisor for the Sustainable Ocean Alliance, an environmental consultant, and advocate for action on our oceans and our climate, Mark helps us ask… do our future cell phones, cars, and green energy lie at the bottom of the sea?

Introducing: Peak & Plunge

3/7/2024
From our mountain peaks, let's plunge into the sea. Introducing my latest podcast project - Peak & Plunge: Diving Into the Inland-Ocean Connection! In collaboration with the Inland Ocean Coalition, Peak & Plunge examines the ties between the ocean and those people that live miles away from it. Each episode, I talk to an expert in the field to examine inland-ocean ties through our seafood, our agriculture, our climate, our use of plastics, and even how, from the top of a mountain, your future might be reliant on potatoes from the deepest reaches of the ocean floor. And don't worry... Bio-DIVE-rsity will still return! As always, thank you for listening. ----- Trailer: Peak & Plunge ----- Artwork Attributions: Podcast cover artwork by Mercedes Schultz.
