Out Of Our Bubble

As marine scientists, we have a habit of talking in an echo chamber, or to be more on brand – a bubble.

Out Of Our Bubble

In a time where everyone needs to be more aware of our environment, it’s vital that science steps out of the academic journal and into the minds of people who will benefit from it and, importantly, act on it.

Bursting bubbles

Out Of Our Bubble is the podcast with a twist where your host, Liberty, is not there to ask the questions, but to answer them.

Out of Our Bubble aims to bridge the gap between scientific research, inaccurate media and the rest of us!

If you want to understand the incredible marine world a little better, try joining our Co- Founder Liberty Denman, where there is no such thing as a stupid question.

Here we explore some of the issues that effect the ocean and fishers alike.

Episode 1

All Things ALDFG

Abandoned, Lost and Discarded Fishing Gear is not the only thing that's often overlooked, we also seem to forget to tell people about it. Join us and my first guest Lydia to take a deep(ish) dive into all things ghost gear from the very beginning.

Episode 2

Aquaculture, The Fin Farms You Didn't Know Were Feeding You

We don't need to go to the year 3000 to find out we've been doing all sorts underwater. This episode on aquaculture will give you the down low on how we produce the seafood we need to keep up with demand. But is it the silver bullet we need for seafood...

Episode 3

A Side Of Bycatch

A fish dish is often served with a side of salad or maybe fries, but what if I told you these aren’t the only extras it comes with. From sea to service, join me and our next guest Georgia to tackle the topic of bycatch.

Episode 4

Net Loss: Unravelling The Overfishing Crisis

Out of sight, out of mind sadly doesn't mean the Ocean is immune to fishing pressure. Despite its vastness and natural ability to replenish, even the sea is struggling to keep up with the demand we place on its resources. This episode on overfishing takes a little look at the state...

Episode 5

Rambling About Angling

When we talk about the word fishing, it’s so often associated with the commercial sector, but there are plenty of fishers out there that like to do it for fun too! Recreational angling is in fact the largest participatory sport in Britain…and you all thought it was footie. Join me and my latest guest Jamus, as we cast our minds...

EPisode 6

The ‘Catch’ Up: All The Unanswered Question from Season 1

As a way of rounding off the first season of Out of Our Bubble, we are joined by Jasmine Somerville, fisheries scientists and PhD at the University of Exeter, to look back at all of the questions we couldn't answer at the time.

Something Sharky

We all have favourites, and here it's sharks. We're all about changing negative perspectives at kai, and we figured sharks, like fishermen, could do with some good PR.

Episode 1

What Makes A Shark A Shark

From teeth to tails and everything in between, in this series we’re talking all things shark with fun facts, fishery issues, and fascinating research. In this first episode we welcome back Lydia, our queen of questions so get ready for some serious mental whiplash as we cover it all in our first episode of the series!

Episode 2

Shark Attacks 2 Tooths And A Lie

Attacks are one of the few things about sharks that make it to mainstream media, but that doesn’t mean what you’re being told is always accurate. This episode we chat to Charlie, a keen surfer, to put the media coverage of shark attacks under the microscope for further inspection - splitting truth from toil.

Episode 3

The Trials And Tribulations Of Sharks

You might think that being at the top of the food chain renders the shark threatless. But even the largest fish in the sea faces threats. Join me as I chat to Alice about the fresh horrors facing sharks today.

Episode 4

The Fins And Outs Of Shark Research

So far in this podcast, we've spoken a lot about what we know about the Ocean, but we haven't touched on HOW we actually know all this. From the hands-on approach to air-conditioned data analysis, join me and our newest guest Charles Anuyagu as we explore just how...

Episode 5

Ecotours (feat.jaws)

Ecotourism undoubtedly brings in good money for conservation, and opens people's eyes to the inhabitants of the sea. But do the practices sometimes fall on the side of exploitation? We talk through all this and more with guest Abbie on this edition of Out of Our Bubble!
