Ocean Wants: Cephalopods on Land, featuring Danna Staaf

Before fish and other vertebrates proliferated, it was the heyday of the cephalopods. Their descendants – squid, cuttlefish, octopus, and nautilus – are still around us, coping better with human dominance than many fish. In this episode, host Ingo Niermann talks to Danna Staaf, a trained marine biologist, who writes about the history of the cephalopods. She speaks from her home in San Jose, California. Ocean Wants is a series of ten podcasts that playfully explores how nonhumans could like our planet to be. Conceived and hosted by Ingo Niermann, Ocean Wants was commissioned to celebrate TBA21–Academy’s tenth Anniversary. Commissioned and produced by TBA21–Academy Conceived, hosted, and edited by Ingo Niermann Music composed and arranged by Ville Haimala Intro read by Joan Jonas Credits read by Staci Bu Shea Sound edited by Robin Michel Produced by Ingo Niermann and María Montero Sierra
