Trump’s Project 2025 and a surprising outbreak of whalepox: this month on the podcasts.

Posted on October 30, 2024 By Andrew Thaler
Conservation, Policy

Late last month, I joined Andrew Kornblatt and Francis Farabaugh on Ocean Science Radio to talk about Donald Trump’s Project 2025 Presidential Transition Project, how it will effect ocean policy, and why the particular nastiness with which Project 2025 goes after NOAA is proof-positive that, no matter how hard they try and deny it, Project 2025 is Trump’s policy agenda.

Meanwhile, in lighter news, over on Dugongs and Seadragons, the Cephalosquad make a dramatic escape by inventing an epidemic of whalepox to hide their shenanigans.

Stick around to the end to find out the answer to the question “are zombies good graphic designers?”

And, of course, you can support Dugongs and Seadragons on Patreon!
