So from my perspective it was this instant recognition of another being that I felt compassion for and a connection with." 22:20 "He accepted me in a way that I'd never been accepted in my life before." 24:20 "He taught me a lot about forgiveness." 25:07 "He forced me to live in the moment... we're not feeding him, we're not enticing him.

David Shiffman: On Jaws, Sharknados, Megalodon-Mania and Shark Week Vs. Sharks
Author and marine conservation biologist David Shiffman (Why Sharks Matter) talks about Sharkweek, Sharknados, megalodon myths, Jaws and junk science with Skaana host Mark Leiren-Young (author of Sharks Forever & Big Sharks, Small World). "More people are bitten by other people on the New York city subway system every year than are bitten by sharks in the whole world... but whenever any shark gives someone side eye anywhere in the world, it's headline news everywhere in the world." Shownotes: 4:10 "Jaws has had a really transformative impact. For sharks mostly bad." How Jaws changed everything for sharks and meeting Richard Dreyfuss. "The movie is just so good." 5:05 "It's really changed the world. Before Jaws came out most people really didn't think about sharks at all." 5:56 “Spielberg has a lot to answer for here." 6:23 The Jaws Effect. "It refers to how fictional portrayals of a real world issue can affect how people really think about that issue. In reality." 7:36 Watching The Shark is Broken - the Jaws play - on Broadway! 10:14 On the impact of Sharknado! "I love those goofy, bad shark movies... there are two kinds of shark movies - there are bad shark movies and there's Jaws." And how Sharknado funded his PhD work. 13:18 "It's just frigging weird how much this goofy Saturday night basic cable movie has escaped its cage and entered the cultural zeitgeist." 13:44 "Here's a crazy story for you..." How Sharknado may have launched Donald Trump's political career. 16:04 On being Sharkweek's number one critic "I'm very critical of the dumpster fire of nonsense and lies that they show every year." 17:33 "I could rant about how bad Sharkweek is... forever." And how Sharkweek does nothing to help sharks. "Sharkweek and I are not besties." 17:48 There are more dudes named Mike on Sharkweek than there are women... even though in real life 60% of shark experts are women. 19:37 Great white sharks are mentioned in 40% of newspaper stories about endangered sharks - even though they're not one of the most endangered species... All anyone wants to talk or write about... great white sharks. 21:00 Getting people to care about the bigger picture..."One thing that does change people's minds is "yes, and..."" 25:44 Talking 24 and sharks. "All of the species of sharks in the world combined have killed a lot fewer people than Jack Bauer has killed on-screen. Not even counting his off-screen exploits." 26:34 "More people are bitten by other people on the New York city subway system every year than are bitten by sharks in the whole world... but whenever any shark gives someone side eye anywhere in the world, it's headline news everywhere in the world." 27:46 "Seeing a shark swimming close to the beach is not news. That's where they're supposed to be." 28:00 A toy story - myth busting a fake goblin shark. 31:18 The megalodon conspiracy! "They were very cool - but they've been extinct for millions of years." 33:38 The importance of public science engagement. 34:54 A new treaty that may help save sharks - and other species.

Shownotes: 3:35 Meet Gloria Pancrazi and how the story of love for orcas turned into a mission to save the southern resident orcas. 6:12 "A lot of politicians like to blame whale watchers because then they can accept a pipeline that’s going to increase tanker traffic by seven- fold... you can go on and on about the impact of the Trans Mountain pipeline and how it's going to impact southern resident orcas." 8:38 “One of the biggest points of the movie is that everything is connected... it's hard to pick one big issue." 11:50 “It always fascinated us how the orcas are telling us something.

Jason Colby: On the Capture of Toki/Tokitae/Lolita/Sk’aliCh’elh-tenaut and How Penn Cove Almost Ended the Southern Resident Orcas
Jason Colby (author of Orca: How We Came to Know and Love the Ocean's Greatest Predator) talks with Skaana host Mark Leiren-Young about the capture of Toki/Tokitae/Lolita/Sk’aliCh’elh-tenaut and how Penn Cove almost ended the southern resident orcas and was the beginning of the end of the capture era. "It's worth remembering that the argument at the time, if there could have been a debate at the time, it was really between whale catching and whale shooting, not whale catching and whale watching." Shownotes: 0:00 The voice of Toki. 4:08 Jason Colby on writing the book - or at least a very long chapter of his book - on Penn Cove. 6:05 "They eventually capture virtually all of these orcas behind nets. They estimate at the time around 90 individuals... The estimates vary but almost certainly the entire population of the Southern residents." 7:43 "It's worth remembering that the argument at the time, if there could have been a debate at the time, it was really between whale catching and whale shooting, not whale catching and whale watching." 8:50 "Once they rounded them up, 90 to 100 animals, if Ted Griffin and his company would have wanted to and would have had the market to sell all 90 of them they could have done that. If they had wanted to shoot them all in the nets, they could have done that. There may have been a firearms violation, but there would be no sort of conservation law violation." 10:30 "This must have been horrifically traumatic for these pods to be torn apart." 11:20 How activists trying to free the orcas accidentally kill four baby orcas. 12:20 Hiding the bodies... "Whether it was illegal or not, it looks like a murder scene." 14:20 Is Toki really L Pod or did she learn how to speak L Pod from Hugo in Miami? 20:04 "It was a generational loss." 21:20 "If Griffin had done what the fisherman who was helping him demanded - which is to sell all of them all - you could have seen the entire population of Southern residents extinguished before we had even identified them scientifically as a population." 23:00 How to help orcas today and the problems humans are creating for orcas today. 26:04 Toki talks.
