[06:51]The origin of the word “penguin.” [07:44]If we’re so remote, why might you hear the sound of machinery in the background? [08:55]What kind of structure is keeping us safe from the southernmost continent’s most punishing elements? [09:47]How Sue emerged from childhood with the ability to walk even after her parents were told she’d be wheelchair-bound for life. [11:43]Inspired from a young age by the work of David Attenborough to become a wildlife filmmaker, how did Sue begin the path that would lead her to work with him? What set her apart from probably tens of thousands of other youths in pursuit of the same career? [15:35]Sue’s first television gigs. [24:02]What it was like to finally work with David Attenborough — a job opportunity she still describes as “better than winning the lottery.” [28:03]For anyone somehow not in the know by now, who is David Attenborough? What does he bring to the table apart from being one of the most charismatic television presenters of all time? [30:28]One of Sue’s top life experiences: reading the acknowledgments from her book Emperor: The Perfect Penguin to David Attenborough in person. [34:10]What is tobogganing, and why do emperor penguins do it? [35:46]Why emperor penguins leave such distinctive tracks, how the males incubate eggs, and how much of a toll this takes on their bodies every season. [36:55]A couple of “firsts” Sue captured on camera: polar bears hunting beluga whales, and orcas attacking grey whale calves. How did she succeed in situations where even National Geographic had failed? [41:20]Evidence of orcas learning to become better predators and teaching tactics to their offspring. [49:55]How dangerous is it for humans to swim with orcas — aka “killer whales” for a reason? [55:50]The divorce whale. [58:35]Common mistakes Sue has witnessed aspiring wildlife photographers making in the field. [1:01:47]How Sue and her husband Chris keep their relationship intact while she spends so much time away from home. Does she think it’s easier than being married to someone who’s working in close proximity for months at a time? [1:02:58]What prompted Sue to hang up her production hat after over a decade at the BBC and focus on photography? [1:07:11]On Nuclear icebreakers and hybrid electric ships (with an aside explaining why people experienced with spending time in Antarctica often refer to emperor penguins as “the inspectors”). [1:10:17]Observations even experienced people often miss when camping in Antarctica. [1:13:53]Books gifted most often. [1:17:29]How do polar bears sustain their gigantic mass in a landscape so seemingly barren? What makes their size a benefit rather than a hindrance? [1:19:29]What are the Pinatubo bears, and how was a volcanic eruption in the Philippines directly responsible for their success? [1:22:30]Why are you likely to sleep a lot better in a tent on the sea ice in the Antarctic than in the Arctic? [1:24:32]Sue could be anywhere in the world at any time, but here’s how to find her online every time. [1:26:46]Why is Sue so patient with animals and not with people? [1:27:52]Embarrassing Sue, meeting the Queen, plans to podcast from the other pole, Russian banya hats, and other parting thoughts.
