Summary

With some fresh updates, ocean and policy expert Dr. Ayana Johnson guests in an encore presentation of a fan favorite episode. Hear updates from her, learn about her new podcast “How to Save a Planet,” and what she’s been up to since this episode originally aired in 2018. Are plastic straws really that bad? What's the oldest message in a bottle? Any scuba vs. snorkel strategies? Does sunscreen kill coral? Can we reverse ocean warming in our lifetime? Alie struggles with finding a balance between the wonders and the bummers, and in the first 20 or so minutes, we’ll learn weird ocean trivia, why we love the sea, and facts about the ocean's depths and beauty. Then, we get to the sad stuff: ocean health, climate change, acidification, pollution, policy and what we can all do. If you've been feeling helpless, this episode gives you all the tools you need to understand and help our friend, the World Ocean. Also: some great information about whale pee.

0:00.0	Oh, hello, Alegites. Okay, so this is an encore presentation of an episode, but with a few new bells and whistles,
0:06.4	I just added because you loved thisologist so much when this first aired in 2018,
0:12.7	and she has a brand new podcast of her own. It just launched. It's called How to Save a Planet.
0:19.6	And it's co-hosted by Alex Bloomberg. The latest episode of her new podcast addresses the most
0:25.5	common Patreon question we got for her. So you're definitely going to want to go check out our
0:30.2	new podcast. Also at the break, you're going to hear an update from theologist herself that she
0:36.4	sent in specifically for all of Jesus listeners. Trust me, you want to hear what she has been up to
0:43.1	the last two years. It's amazing. Just trust me. Also, I think I swore like your grandpa
0:49.6	at Poker Night in this episode. So sorry, also there's a new secret at the end. Okay, here we go.
0:54.8	Oh, hey, it's roll pop here. So, more on the lawn in those shorts, your mother wishes I'd throw away.
1:02.1	Alliward, back with another episode of Olegies. Now in this episode, let's just belly up to the
1:08.4	coast. Let's gaze out over a craggy cliff and stare into the glimmering sea. What wonders,
1:16.0	what mystery, what possibility, what a shit show we've made it. But is there hope? I don't know.
1:23.2	I'm not an oceanologist, but that's okay because other people are. And you're going to get the real
1:27.5	time scoop on whether or not we have missed the boat on saving the sea and what we're doing to make
1:33.6	it better. So hang tight because before we sit sail, a few things you can do to help keep this podcast
1:39.8	of float. So thank you to the patrons who pledge a buck or more a month to the show. You have kept
1:46.0	it running almost a full year now. Can you even? It's almost our anniversary. Your questions are great.
1:52.0	Your hearts are greater. If you want to support Olegies via items, Olegiesmerch.com has you covered.
1:59.7	Literally, the link is in the show notes. And if you spend all your money on a very tiny
2:05.6	baseball jersey for your hamster, I get it. And you can support Olegies with just your words and
2:10.8	your thumbs by telling friends and tweeting and grahamming and making sure that you're subscribed.
