    Episode 66: Atlantis
    Sep 17 2024
    What if we told you that 10,000 years ago there was a sophisticated society ruled by the children of the sea god Poseidon, with stunning architecture and quality of life similar to our own? What if this society contained a city with unimaginable wealth—and maybe even technology beyond our current understanding—but it was swallowed by the sea in a great catastrophe, leaving no trace behind? We’re talking all about the mythical lost city of Atlantis on this episode of Unspookable.

    Episode 62: Sharks
    Jul 2 2024
    What's the first thing that pops into your head when you hear the word shark? Is it a sea predator with rows and rows of sharp teeth? Maybe it's a simple alternating E and F or F and F sharp played on a solo tuba? Or maybe it's a misunderstood fish whose representation in film has given them a bad name. Love them or fear them, we cannot wait to talk about one of our favorite creatures on not one, but two episodes this month. It's Shark Summer all summer long on Unspookable!
