Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Centers around themes of marine protection, technology for conservation, and personal stories of changemakers, with episodes discussing topics such as the integration of AI in ocean data management and innovative coral restoration techniques, and highlighting individual journeys from different backgrounds in ocean advocacy.
My biggest life regret? Studying business instead of marine biology. 💔 The ocean fills me with happiness, wonder, and fascination—yet I know so little about it.
By day, I fight ocean plastic pollution to make amends. By night, I create this show. ☯️
This podcast is my journey, as an amateur ocean enthusiast, to explore the ocean as an ecosystem, playground, and economic powerhouse—no expertise required to dive in (though experts might enjoy hearing from their colleagues).
If you’re curious about the force covering 70% of our planet and sustaining life, join me—listen and follow now. 🌊
Henk Rogers is best known as the man who helped bring Tetris to the world,but today, he’s focused on a much bigger challenge: climate change and the global energy transition.
In this powerful conversation, Henk Rogers explains why renewable energy is already cheaper, why islands may lead the world, and why determination matters more than hope.
We explore how island nations are becoming real-world laboratories for renewable energy, why fossil fuels are no longer economically viable, and how one life-altering moment pushed Henk to dedicate his life to systemic change.
This isn’t a conversation about doom or denial, it’s about solutions that already work, leadership, and why the fight against climate change may be closer to victory than most people realize.
