Deep Dive - An Ocean Comedy Podcast
About
Join performance artist EM The Master and marine biologist Dr Max Bodmer at the intersection of art and science as they explore the weird and wonderful lives of the creatures that live just below the ocean surface. Each week, songwriter and scuba diver EM The Master will present her wildly entertaining, ocean-centric songs to Max Bodmer, a ruthless doctor of marine ecology who gleefully tears her lyrics apart with his relentless fact-checking. But will Em fight back with justifications for her lyrics? Or will science prevail? Will she ever convince Max of the importance of rhyme and metaphor? Each episode, Em sings, Max fact-checks, and sparks fly as humour, metaphors, and a healthy dose of googling collide in a battle of artistic interpretation versus scientific truth. Providing wild facts and fun insights for the ocean-curious, and striving to supply some levity for those working tirelessly for the ocean's protection, Deep Dive is for everyone. As two ocean-lovers, Em & Max endeavour to bring laughter, hope, and re-inspiration to all of us to take positive action for the ocean. This feel-good comedy podcast shines a spotlight on some of this planet’s most fascinating and vulnerable organisms and highlights how we can help protect them. Expect laugh-out-loud moments, mind-blowing marine facts, and genuinely useful, small actions you can take to help the ocean. Will Em reclaim her status as Queen of the Ocean? Will Max ever loosen up? Deep Dive in and find out.
