We were so honored to get a chance to Skype with Dr. Bruce Mate of Oregon State University's Marine Mammal Institute. He is the expert on marine mammals, including blue whales. We learned so much from him, and had such a good time talking about all things whales - from his ground-breaking research to touching whale poop. (Yes, we go there.)

Be sure to listen to this episode along with our stand-alone episode on blue whales.

Thanks to Andrew or Ear Snacks for our theme music!
