This podcast episode explores various topics including the protests at Columbia University, the evolving opinions on Brexit in the UK, and efforts to reduce whale deaths from vessel strikes. The protests at Columbia University have caused unrest among students and faculty, and the university's decision to involve the police has been met with backlash. Brexit opinions in the UK have shifted over time, with younger voters increasingly favoring remaining in the EU. The impact of Brexit on British voters has led to dissatisfaction with outcomes and the Conservative government. Whale Safe, a strike prevention group, utilizes technology to alert ships to the presence of whales and promote slowdowns in designated zones. However, there are limitations to current whale monitoring technology and the implementation of mandatory speed restrictions for ships faces challenges.
