53 The High Seas with Olive Heffernan

from The Function Room

The last episode - and a great way to go out. By taking the ultimate trip on the Z-axis and exploring the sea. We fuss so much about exploring outer space and going to Mars when a whole other planet exists just beyond the beach. Olive Heffernan has been researching the ocean for most of her life. She has written a brilliant book - the high seas about the wonder of life there, and what threatens it. Because guess what, humans are Never Not At It. And that's it then for The Function Room for the time being. I'll be back. I just need some help! In the meantime, A Few Scoops, the podcast I do with Aoife Moore is 6 episodes in and going strong. (after only 5 weeks, It would have taken me 5 weeks to write the intro to one function room episode before :). Thanks to all of you for listening and the lovely messages.
