Are seals just halfway through their journey of becoming something more like a whale? Today, we’ll be exploring their evolutionary journey. I’ll introduce you to their ancestors, strange specimens in the seal lineage, and answer the question: Is WHALE their final form?
A huge thanks to Gian and Josh for the fantastic editing!

23 Apr 2026 The World, the Universe and Us
It’s been 40 years since the world’s worst nuclear disaster unfolded. Since the explosion at Chernobyl in 1986, the world has feared nuclear power – and the widespread damage it can do. But are we right to fear it?
Though it’s left a lasting scar on the region, nuclear power is still safer than fossil fuels – which kill millions of people each year. So what will it take to change public opinion? We examine the lasting impact of nuclear fallout on Chernobyl – and how things have changed in the exclusion zone over four decades.
Rowan Hooper is joined by New Scientist reporter Matt Sparkes, who shares news of his recent visit where he met the families who still live there.
And Professor Jim Smith, author of Chernobyl: Catastrophe and Consequences, explains how the ecosystem and wildlife are thriving – and how he’s been making Atomik Brandy out of radioactive apples from the region.
