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
