The Food Chain

The ocean is comprised of an intricate network of complex food chains which maintain ecosystem health. Is EM The Master’s song "The Food Chain" a radical oversimplification of one of the most complex phenomena on the planet, or, does she manage to capture the nuances of these life giving ecological systems in just 1 minute and 23 seconds? Join Em and Max as they explore the fine line between artistic interpretation and the spreading of misinformation: What does a whale carcass have in common with a sphinx? How many jellyfish is too many jellyfish? What do you mean that a coral is animal, vegetable, and mineral? Deep Dive in and find out.

The Sea Urchin

Sea urchins are the ecosystem engineers of most reef systems helping to keep them clean by removing algae. It may be our most scientifically accurate offering to date but does Max’s song - wait, Max's song?! - yes, you read that right! Does Max's song "Modern Echinoidea" actually communicate any of the amazing features of these incredibly important creatures, or, does his penchant for Latin and inability to rhyme mean that the listener is just left flummoxed? Join Em and Max as they invert the format and Deep Dive into a world of song writing, metaphor, and wrong notes. Do sea urchins have regular facelifts? Does Em’s ability to rhyme mean she would be a better lecturer than Max? Can Max really claim to have written this song? Deep Dive in and find out.

The Pufferfish

An inflated pufferfish may look like a useless evolutionary mistake but you’d be a fool to try and eat it. Em’s song "POISONOUS" is a public health warning in disguise but how well does she describe the amazing predator defence mechanisms of this wonderfully unassuming creature? Join EM The Master and Dr Max Bodmer as they explore the fine line between artistic interpretation and the spreading of misinformation: Do pufferfish really survive off miso soup alone? Does Britney Spears really approve the take home message of this episode? Would Ariana Grande like to assert her right to reply? Deep Dive in and find out.

The Shark

Sharks are as ancient as the dinosaurs but the human race seems to have forgotten how to respect its elders as they are one of the most persecuted species groups on the planet. EM The Master attempts to highlight the plight of this most maligned species through her song "Cold Blooded" but how good a job does she do? Join Em and Dr Max Bodmer Max as they explore the fine line between artistic interpretation and the spreading of misinformation. Are sharks actually cold blooded or is the fundamental premise of Em’s song fatally flawed? Is the River Seine in Paris really shark infested? Has Max finally taken his pedantry one step too far? Deep Dive in and find out.
