Curiously Polar
Considerations about nature, history, culture and politics from the Arctic and the Antarctic.

Show overview
Curiously Polar has been publishing since 2017, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 166 episodes. That works out to roughly 85 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 21 min and 39 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Society & Culture show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2019, with 37 episodes published. Published by Chris Marquardt.
From the publisher
The Arctic and the Antarctic are privileged locations for observers interested in understanding how our world is shaped by the forces of nature and the workings of history. These areas have inspired countless humans to undertake epic expeditions of discovery and have witnessed both great triumphs and miserable defeats. As a planetary litmus paper it is at the poles we can detect the effects of natural oscillations and human activities on the global ecosystems.
