Fin whale lunge feeding filmed by drone; Spotify launches podcast…

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistVideographer Rhys Morgan flew a drone over a fin whale, the second largest animal in the ocean, and caught it mid-lunge with its mouth wide open.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI've watched it three times this morning, and it's so graceful. It just opens up and welcomes the ocean in.

3. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistWelcomes it?

4. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistOne scientific account says about seventy thousand litres in six seconds. I can't get through a flat white in six seconds without a face like a burst pipe.

5. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou do sip like you're being timed.

6. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistAnd a different study says they swell to roughly double their size at the surface.

7. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSo that's a whale having the brunch buffet and going up a size on camera.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTwenty-one metres long and it never once says, I shouldn't have. I admire that.

9. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistRight. Second story. Spotify's launching paid podcast memberships today in thirty-four markets, including the U.S.

10. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCreators keep ninety percent, and fans get ad-free listening, early access, bonus episodes. Honestly, it's the first time a podcast has offered me a reason to pay that isn't guilt.

11. 

    Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistWho's the member?

12. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy mother, and she's a founding member, because I told her the early access is a hug.

13. 

    Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistFair enough. I'd pay for ad-free early access to that whale.

14. 

    Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSeventy thousand litres in six seconds, and I'm the one they ask to slow down.
