  • Summary

  • A deceptively simple question....

    The series starts by answering a question: ‘What is the ocean?’

    We know it’s big, salty and wet but how did it get so big, why is it salty and why is it so important to life on earth? And what do we know about how these three things made the ocean the perfect place for the beginning of life itself? We meet the scientists studying the conditions in deep sea hydrothermal vents to find out where and how it all began.

Informative and fun

I came here after listening “A grown-up guide to dinosaurs”, from which I learnt a lot and which was a blast to listen, and this series doesn’t disappoint either - I’m learning and it’s fun, there’s this light-hearted tone and the spirit of curiosity and discovery, and we also get to meet the scientists behind the information. It’s overall a joyful experience. I really appreciate what professor Ben Garrod does with this and other series.
