Ep 32: Save the Potatoes!

Welcome to The Flask at Hand, the only show where we go deep—both into the ocean and into our whisky glasses (sometimes deeper than intended). Tonight, we raise a glass of Compass Box Oak Cross, a whisky so good they had to discontinue it—probably to keep us from getting too powerful. While we sip, we'll be diving into some deep-sea madness: a secret mission to raise a Russian submarine (because everyone loves a good Cold War heist), the eerie glow of bioluminescent creatures (nature's own rave party), and the mind-blowing ways marine medicine is saving lives—possibly including yours after this pour. And, of course, we'll stir up some controversy with deep-sea mining, where humans do what we do best: argue about whether we're ruining the planet or not. So grab a drink, hold your breath, and join us as we explore the ocean's strangest secrets—preferably before the whisky kicks in.
