This guy didn’t get “swallowed” but if you want to hear us talk about really going down the gullet of a whale, boy do I have the episode for you… Episode 208: Whalefall itunes tinyurl.com/36wy6r6u spotify tinyurl.com/3vrax2f2 google tinyurl.com/8ec38bku

On June 11, 2021, commercial lobster diver Michael Packàrd was swallowed by a humpback whale near Provincetown, Massachusetts. For over 30 seconds, his crewmates feared for his life, but fortunately, the whale resurfaced after about 40 seconds, spitting out Packàrd. Miraculously, he survived with only bruising and a dislocated knee.

Dear @BarackObama, I'm doing a year-long podcast book club breaking down The Power Broker on my show 99% Invisible. You've said "it helped to shape how I think about politics." Would you come on the show & talk about that? It'll be very fun & we'll get a lot of people reading it

#Halloween in troubling times. Maybe you wanna read a piece of genuine, blood-curdling #horror. Or maybe you seek a reprieve, some escapism, a wee piece of short-form #fiction as comic relief. Please enjoy Trick and Treat by @doctorcleveland. invisiblecitylit.com/fiction…

For the first time, August’s 2.38m monthly bus boardings in Wellington were higher than pre covid. This is a significant milestone. Some folks told us public transport use would never recover. The truth is that public transport has bounced back far faster than anyone predicted.
