Episode 9 - Sharks, with Megan McCubbin

Were you ever picked on as a kid because you didn't want to go in the swimming pool in case there was a Shark in there? Does the Jaws theme tune STILL make your heart rate quicken to this day? Good news: you were the victim of the media's Shark fearmongering and you COULD be entitled to compensation! Your reparations for this heinous crime include getting to learn why Sharks are awesome and NEVER having to listen to "Baby Shark" again. Join Alice and her guest, esteemed Zoologist and Shark-booper Megan McCubbin, as they dive into why we all need to go into the sea and love Sharks a bit more. Did you know that Sharks make friends when they're young? And that some Sharks sleep in a cuddle puddle? No? Wow, that's so embarrassing for you...you REALLY need to listen to this episode. Take a nice, long swim in the pool of cognizance. Come on in, the water's fine. Our Charity of the Week this week is the incredible "Bite Back" who are the best defensive attorneys Sharks can get in an unfair trial against them. www.bite-back.com Check out Megan's brand new book: "An Atlas of Endangered Species", available at your normal book retailers, but consider shopping at Bookshop.org to grab it: https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/atlas-of-endangered-animals-megan-mccubbin/6148216?ean=9781529369533.
