Amani's background and first reactions to Jaws

JAWS can only mean one thing! The movie that forever changed how we feel about sharks. It did me, that’s for sure. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the movie, we thought it might be time to help separate fact from fiction in a fun way……by playing audio clips from the movie and having a real shark expert react to them and tell us the truth about how dangerous they are, how sharks really think, why there’s been a surge in sightings in recent years, and so much more. Spoiler alert: you may or may not sleep better after this episode.

Join me as I “dive deep” on sharks with Amani Webber-Schultz.

And revisit our conversation with Dr. Rachel Graham on how to love a shark
