Podcast: “Sharks—Friends NOT Foes”

Date Jul 10, 2024
Published in Currents

Next year is the 50th anniversary of the movie Jaws, which means Hollywood has been hard at work painting sharks as villains of the deep for half a century.

In honor of Shark Week, we’re celebrating the launch of The Podcast Aquatic by gathering together a trio of resident shark experts to set the story straight and explain why these marine predators are really just the victims of exceptionally bad PR.

Episode cast:

  • Casey Phillips, communications specialist and host
  • Kyle McPheeters, senior aquarist
  • Adam Johnson, animal care facility lead
  • Thom Demas, vice president and chief husbandry and exhibits officer
