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.
