And as climate change transforms our coasts, that will transform our world. Every two weeks, we bring you stories that illuminate, inspire, and sometimes enrage, as we dive deep into the environmental issues facing coastal communities on the Gulf Coast and beyond. We have a lot to save, and we have a lot of solutions. Join us as we investigate and celebrate life on a changing coast. It’s time to talk about a Sea Change. Based in New Orleans, Sea Change is a production of WWNO New Orleans Public Radio and WRKF Baton Rouge Public Radio. Sea Change is a part of the NPR Podcast Network and is distributed by PRX. Hosted by Carlyle Calhoun. Our theme song is by Jon Batiste. Sea Change is made possible with major support provided by The Gulf Research Program of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and The Water Collaborative. The Coastal Desk is supported by the Walton Family Foundation, the Greater New Orleans Foundation, and the Meraux Foundation.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-31T02:17:23.535001+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/sea-change-6175719"},"episode":{"title":"The Trojan Seahorse","slug":"the-trojan-seahorse","published_at":"2025-09-24T14:22:01+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/sea-change-6175719/the-trojan-seahorse","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/sea-change-6175719","url":"https://play.prx.org/listen?ge=prx_3426_246d8001-93fe-468d-a179-7825add0a22e&uf=https%3A%2F%2Fpublicfeeds.net%2Ff%2F3426%2Ffeed-rss.xml","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/dovetail.prxu.org/3426/246d8001-93fe-468d-a179-7825add0a22e/trojan_seahorse_p1.mp3","summary":"Today, we’re bringing you a wild story. It’s about a covert ocean adventure from back in the Cold War days that inadvertently set off a brand new industry. And it’s an industry that’s been in the news a lot lately: deep-sea mining. Earlier this year, President Trump signed an executive order to try to fast-track deep-sea mining, while many countries are calling for more research before any mining can proceed or an outright ban. The deep ocean is the least known place on Earth, and scientists say we are only beginning to understand the power of the deep. And to tell the incredible backstory of how the industry that could forever change our ocean got its start, we are bringing you an episode from one of our favorite public radio podcasts: Outside/In from New Hampshire Public Radio. This episode was reported and produced by Daniel Ackerman. Sea Change is a WWNO and WRKF production. Carlyle Calhoun is Sea Change's executive producer. Emily Jankowski is our sound designer, and our theme music is by Jon Batiste. We are part of the NPR Podcast Network and distributed by PRX. Sea Change is made possible with major support from the Gulf Research Program of the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Sea Change is also supported by the Water Collaborative of Greater New Orleans.
