Questions answered about Antarctica #1 - Everything Antarctica Podcast

This week, we answer a few listener questions that have come through from Social Media! We appreciate the engagement as it gives us some fresh ideas for things to make episodes about! The most common question I get asked is "How did you get your job in Antarctica?" This is a question that deserves a full episode, so we cover this question only at a very high level. We will do a more in-depth episode about how to get a job in Antarctica shortly! Next, Jonny answers the question "How do you produce power in Antarctica?" Being an electrician who has an intimate knowledge about the subject, he discusses all things required to keep the lights on. We also touch on how much we interact with other research stations from different countries. One of the most common questions is "How do you cope with being away from family and friends for so long?" so Jonny and Matty discuss some of the strategies for dealing with isolation away from loved ones. This leads to a discussion about communications and how we stay in touch with loved ones. We hope you enjoy the episode and like the format for these. There are countless questions we could answer so if you've got one, please let us know what it is so we can answer it!
