Podcasts are a great way to learn and be entertained at the same time. The delivery of a podcast makes them versatile resources you can listen to while commuting, cooking dinner, or relaxing.

Have you ever been at a noisy event or a loud restaurant trying to talk to someone and only hearing a fraction of what they are trying to say? Maybe you leave the noisy area and take refuge somewhere quieter where it is easier to talk. But, imagine if that noise was perpetual.
Constant noise is something that beluga whales face in a year-round capacity, listen to Valeria as she is interviewed on the National Geographic's podcast: Overheard. All of our summer trips have the opportunity for beluga whale watching and this podcast will help to introduce you to one of the struggles the beluga whales faces in this day and age.
