Jaws

You might think you know the story of the movie Jaws. But writer and adventurer Blair Braverman discovers there’s much more… lurking just beneath the surface.

You might think you know the story of Jaws. But dive a bit deeper - because there’s more swimming in these waters…

In Animal, writer and adventurer Blair Braverman presents stories exploring the curious and fascinating ways humans relate to other animals - from magpies to spiders to creatures of the deepest oceans.

In this episode, Blair speaks to Claire Parkinson, Co-Director of the Centre for Human Animal Studies at Edgehill University, and shark expert Melissa Cristina Márquez, about the legacies of Jaws - the book and movie that forever changed our capacity for a relaxing day at the beach.

Blair uncovers a story of planetary existential crisis, and a quest for redemption for author Peter Benchley.
