Ribbit The Pod episodes

  • sad vibes ft reptile talk
    A sad, quarantined Afi talks about how she feels with everything that is going on with the world. She also spoke about reptiles, and why she loves them very much.
    18 min
  • AI Takeover? Yay or nay

    A gassy and jittery Afi talks about Lovelock's idea of fighting climate change through artificial intelligence. She also talked about climate skepticism, greenwashing and suggested another important way we can all do to save our planet.

    p/s: This episode intends to spread awareness to bring more people to discuss about the climate crisis. This episode was not intended to lessen the blame in fossil fuel industries as one of the biggest carbon emitters (I hope my points weren't misleading!).

    32 min
  • science and religion?
    Afi wonders how science and religion coalesce into her journey in discovering the many wonders and challenges life could offer. This episode is a little personal, yet still fun as it taps into the world where evidence-based facts and spirituality go hand in hand.
    p/s: i stuttered a lot here bc getting into these topics were a little scary
    21 min
  • crabs r cool
    Afi talks about secondhand books, and some crabby facts
    P/s: 
    - I mispronounced forage and some other words
    -  L.A. Borradaile coined the term carcinization to describe the convergent evolution process in which a crustacean evolves into a crab-like form from a non-crab-like form
    - Factors of evolution or "forces of evolution" is not necessarily environmental pressure. They are genetic drift, gene flow, mutation and natural selection to be more accurate

  • fighting the climate crisis
    afi talks about understanding our progress in fighting the climate crisis -We've all been in these zones, or still in the first two zones in fighting climate crisis, but it's more important to keep learning and growing to make a change. There are more than one rooms to grow, it's never ending. How can one person make a difference? It's not just about managing our shopping habits and going green. It's to call out greenwashing companies, demand sustainable options and pressure big industries to move towards net-zero. There's so much to learn and and so much we can do.
    p/s: Communities which are financially challenged are most worried of climate change. In fact, the economical gains of these developing nations is highly dependent on climate-sensitive sectors such as agriculture, fishing, forestry, etc.

  • birds of paradise pt 1
    A gassy and anxious Afi (because she drank a few cups of coffee) talked about the two books she loves, and what led her to read them. She talked about finches, sexual dimorphism (again), and attempted to explain why evolution is interesting (also made an awkward singing intermission, yuck) probably because the coffee was really making her feel extra anxious and weird than usual.
    p/s: advanced apologies if I got a few things wrong
    Enjoy!
