This week, for our final instalment of the ‘swarm’ series, we explore the link between jellyfish blooms and climate change, increasing surveillance in our major cities, the world of dating apps and more!

Each of these stories were produced by Melbourne University Audio Journalism students as part of a special collaboration with the Science Gallery.

Content Warning: This episode contains sexually explicit content and mention of sexual harassment. 

 

Bec Pridham

Clancy Balen 

Do you ever get the feeling that you’re being watched? Or followed? Tracked, maybe? Well, these days we are. We all are. Private actors, or local governments, here in Australia someone’s always watching. 

Music: Pat Telfer, The Elevator Bossa Nova by Ben Sounds, Marche funèbre d’une marionette by Charles Gounoud and original composition. 

Producer: Clancy Balen

Supervising Producer: Ollie Krusec

 

Amalyah Hart 

Jellyfish blooms are a captivating sight, with thousands of the creatures massing together in groups that can be kilometres wide. But these blooms are also linked to pollution and climate change, because jellyfish thrive in the kinds of conditions that can kill most other marine creatures.

Josh Nevett 

The popularity of dating apps is soaring, producing stories that are unique to the digital age. Josh Nevett brings us two of those stories, begging the question… should you join the swipers, or is it best to avoid keyboard intimacy like the plague?
