Science and stories from literally the coolest places on the planet! It’s said that the poles are the thermometer for the rest of the planet- what happens to the rest of us, has already been happening there for years. It’s easy with the state of the world currently to bunker down in a little private bubble, but its more essential than ever that we broaden our horizons and remember that there’s a world out there that is incredible- and needs us! And if that sounds too heavy for you then instead why not join us to escape as we take to on audial adventures to these strange and remote and beautiful places? We’ll speak to guests who’ve looked polar bears in the eye, who drive 12k ton ships through ice 9ft thick or who spend years doing science with no-one but three other people and thousands of penguins for company! These are Polar Times we live in. Join us, and we’ll take you there! An APECS Production (Association of Polar Early Career Scientists). Music credits: ”Scuba” - Metre Unaltered License: CC BY-NC-SA

Kalerrâ

Today on Polar Times we welcome fellow podcaster (and artist and photographer) Chloe Russell to the show to talk about her podcast Kalerrâ.
Kalerrâ is a Greenlandic word which means "the sound of it" and the podcast is full of sounds recorded by Chloe during an trip to Weisboylund in the Northeast Greenland National Park zone as part of an interdisciplinary expedition of scientists and artists. As well as sounds from the field the podcast is full of snippets with interviews from the scientists on the trip (Anne Lydiat, Laura Melissa Williams, Amy Pryor and Wanda Bodnar), music from Ben Imber and narration from Chloe herself, which combine to create an immersive listening experience designed to help the listener feel connected with the remote Northeast Greenland.
Chloe chats to jack about her experiences in the field, the decisions behind releasing Kalerrâ as a podcast and how sounds can be used to foster a greater sense of connectedness than almost anything else.
You can listen to Kalerrâ on Spotify, Apple and lots of other places where you get podcasts from. It has the full Polar Times seal of approval so definitely check it out!
