NOAA Ocean Podcast
Interviews with NOAA ocean experts
National Ocean Service · Katie Wagner
Show overview
NOAA Ocean Podcast has been publishing since 2014, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 18 episodes. That works out to roughly 4 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 5 min and 17 min — with run-times ranging widely across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Science show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 9.6 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2015, with 9 episodes published. Published by Katie Wagner.
