Swimming with Shadows from Radiolab
In the summer of 1975, Jaws scared an entire generation out of the water. The film burned an idea into our cultural memory: sharks are mindless, man-eating monsters. In Swimming with Shadows: A Radiolab Special Series, we set out to tell a different story about them. In two, one-hour episodes we dig into deep-seated myths about sharks, plunge into the water with them, and find sharks that explode our sense of what they are – flying sharks, glowing sharks, baby sharks, sharks under attack, and sharks that may save millions of human lives.
