Hello Listeners!

Welcome back to Exploring the World with Da Potato Sisters!

Even though we said our Ocean season was over, some of our listeners got us in touch with a shark scientist which is super exciting!

We decided to interview him to find out more about sharks!

Thanks for your support through our first year of having a podcast!

-Da Potato Sisters

Hello Listeners!

Welcome back to Exploring the World with Da Potato Sisters!

We know we said that we were finished with our ocean season but last minute some of our listeners got us in touch with a shark scientist! This was such a great opportunity for us to interview him and learn more about sharks and so this episode is dedicated to sharks!

Thanks for all of your ongoing support! It has been a great first year for the Da Potato Sisters podcast.

Hello Listeners!

Since we are in India with our cousin Neel, we decided to do a podcast episode with him! This episode is the last episode in our Ocean Season and we cannot believe it has already been a year since we launched our first episode! :)

Thank you for being such a supportive audience!

-Da Potato Sisters

Hello Listeners!

We know that we already uploaded Mr.Justin's interview about the deep sea, but we also interviewed Mr.Tommy from the Monterey Bay Aquarium, in California, to see if we could gain any more information about the deep sea. We hope you enjoy this episode and if you are interested in reading the children's book Mr.Tommy wrote, called "Blobert's Ocean Adventure", here is the amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Blobberts-Ocean-Adventure-Bret-Grasse/dp/0578724456

We highly recommend you read it!

Bye,

Riya

Hello Listeners,

As promised, here is the planktons sub episode, featuring again, Mr.Justin from NOAA. Please enjoy, and we also highly recommend you check out the website "Pacific Plankton" to see amazing pictures of plankton, and to see the visitor center in San Fransisco! Thanks!

-Da Potato Sisters

Hi Listeners,

Sorry for not posting for a long time! We recently interviewed two people about the deep sea, but in this episode you will hear from one of them, Mr.Justin, and later we will be sharing the information we got from the other interview and about planktons!

Thank you so much for your support!
