NEW PODCAST: Mermaid Musings: Diving Deep with Tara Coyote
Did you know that I recently created a new podcast? I’m so excited to finally share this passion project with you!
This has been in the works for some time now. I realized that I have a plethora of interviews I have done with others (where I interview them on the other side of the microphone) and it would be easy to turn into a podcast, so I created one!
In each episode, you’ll hear inspirational conversations with some truly amazing people in my life — from ocean conservationists to fellow cancer thrivers to my magical mermaid community and more. 🌊💙
The first episode was released last week and it features my beloved brother Ted Cheeseman of Happywhale ! 🐋
Whales, Wonder & Conservation with Ted Cheeseman | Tracking Ocean Giants with Happywhale
In the premiere episode of Mermaid Musings, Tara Coyote - mermaid, author, cancer thriver, and ocean activist - dives deep into a powerful conversation with her brother, Ted Cheeseman, a marine biologist, scientist, and the founder of Happywhale.
Ted is a world leader in whale research, revolutionizing how we track and understand whales using innovative tail recognition software. His work helps researchers across the globe monitor whale populations and advocate for the protection of our oceans.
Together, Tara and Ted discuss:
✨ The magic and intelligence of humpback and sperm whales
✨ The dangers whales face today, including plastic pollution and ocean noise
✨ The importance of maintaining a healthy marine ecosystem
✨ Their shared upbringing by environmentalist parents, who ran Cheesemans' Ecology Safaris
✨ Tara’s children’s book, Kaimana the Hawaiian Mermaid, inspired by a tragic but true event: a sperm whale that washed ashore on Kaua’i due to garbage ingestion & a bold Hawaiian mermaid who makes a difference for the Earth & all of humanity. 🌍
Whether you’re a nature lover, an advocate for the planet, or simply curious about these gentle giants of the sea - this episode is a must-listen.
I’m incredibly proud of my brother for the work he’s done and am excited to share about it with a larger audience! To WATCH the full interview, please check it out on my YouTube channel.
