Listen to “Teach me About the Great Lakes” Podcast

By February 1, 2020No Comments

According to the Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant (IISG), there’s a new podcast in town designed to teach listeners about the Great Lakes.

Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant’s Dr. Stuart Carlton has started a new monthly podcast called “Teach Me About the Great Lakes.” The purpose of the podcast is to help Carlton — a social scientist who grew up in the South near the Gulf of Mexico — learn about the biology, ecology and natural history of the Great Lakes.

“In my two years at Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant, I’ve learned a lot about what makes the Great Lakes special, but there’s so much to know,” Carlton told the IISG. “This podcast gives me a chance to harness the knowledge of IISG specialists and the many scientists and other fascinating people in the region to help me better understand this amazing resource.”

A new episode of Teach Me About the Great Lakes will be released on the first Monday of each month. In the first episode, “They’re Also Called Nurdles,” Carlton and co-host Hope Charters talk with special guests Carolyn Foley and Sarah Zack about microplastics in the Great Lakes. Listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
