The Grey NATO – 244 – The Lost Tape With Dr. Sylvia Earle
This week’s episode is a special one that features a conversation that Jason had with the one and only Dr. Sylvia Earle. It was recorded a couple of years ago while Jason was preparing quotes for a story. Dr. Earle is nothing short of a legend and a TGN hero, as she has dedicated much of her life to exploring the oceans, educating people about their importance, and promoting ocean conservation via her Mission Blue platform.
After the response to our chat with Don Walsh, we figured it would be a good time to blow the dust off this recording – we hope you love it.
