This is the short and punchy version of episode 70 that gets right to the science. If you would like to listen to the full episode, you can find it in the same feed.

This month on the Deep-Sea Podcast, we chat with Jason Rodriguez, a celebrity ROV pilot whose enthusiasm for all things science, ocean, and collaboration is deeply inspiring. This extra-packed episode is filled with Jason’s love for all things tech, problem-solving on the fly and being an expansive thinker.

Check out our lovely new website where you can find more detailed notes, images and links to the wider reading.

The podcast is self-sustaining (just) thanks to our lovely listeners. Thom and Alan take no money for the show. All money is put back into running it. Here’s a link to our page on how to support us, from the free options to becoming a patron of the show. We want to say a huge thank you to those patrons who have already pledged to support us:

Vivek- Lays on the seabed fossilized for millions of years

Jem- Was perfectly preserved in a bottle of vodka
