The great Australian deep with Todd Bond
10/04/24 • 68 min
2 Listeners
Did you know that 70% of Australian waters are deeper than 1000m? Now that’s a lot of deep sea! We hear from the Minderoo-UWA Deep Sea Research Centre’s deputy director, Dr Todd Bond about the huge array of marine geographical features and biodiversity in Australia’s waters. Plus, Alan clears up some ongoing Australian-isms that have left him confused.
We also check in with our resident squid expert - Dr Kat Bolstad after the highly anticipated Squidtember comes to a close. Did you vote for your favourite squid, and if so, how did they score? We reckon Alan’s recent videos from the Tonga Trench (that he teased last episode) might’ve had a subtle influence...
Thanks again for tuning in, we’ll deep-see you next time!

Tonga trench special
1 RecommendationsWe made it to episode 50 and managed to pin down the professor to tell us all about his adventures offshore in the world’s second deepest point: the Tonga trench.
Expect to hear all about how the colossal deep-sea expedition is going, including the time Alan piloted a submarine to 2000m, stumbled upon a rarely seen deep-sea squid, and made poor Steve’s life difficult (the onboard media guy). Life on land is also just as chaotic as Alan has been jetsetting all over the world, with his shiny new OBE medal safely tucked in his backpack pocket, plus a very mysterious scroll from the king arrived and is now living proudly in his downstairs loo.
For those who really love the show, Alan shared with us pictures of all the species he found in the Tonga trench, and this extended video version of the episode is available now via our Patreon (and will be made publicly available on September 20th).
Thanks again for tuning in, we’ll deep-see you next time!
