Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Saturday 18 October at Church House and the Abbey Centre, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION Risk is everywhere. Taking the bus, crossing the street, swimming in the ocean, going somewhere alone. Everything is risky – and we are, in many ways, more concerned about life's riskiness than ever before. In Running the Risk: From Shark Attacks to Nuclear Disaster – understanding life's biggest risks and how we build a safer future, David Reid aims to help us navigate a world full of risks. Some risks we accept, like sitting next to a person on the Tube and hoping they don't have a virus. Some risks we find harder to welcome as a fact of life, like shark attacks and plane crashes. The unknown risk affects people differently. Some still swim in the ocean and fly on planes, while some stick to swimming in lakes and traveling by train. Some risks are merely par for the course of life, but some are preventable, and have only arisen in the contemporary world due to contemporary problems. Delving into issues like climate change, nuclear instability and AI advancements surpassing human capabilities, Reid illustrates what risk is, and how we can learn to live with and mitigate it. Running the Risk is more than a grim explanation of modern issues; it is a guide to ‘building resilience' and navigating the interconnected world. Drawing on historical examples like the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the Fukushima nuclear disaster and the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Reid masters the art of risk and elucidates how our world can be made safer, healthier and happier. Are sentiments like ‘no risk, no reward' courageous or dangerous? Is mitigating risk crucial to happiness or a barrier to it? Is security necessary for well-being? Will the world ever truly be risk-free? Should it be? SPEAKERS Jon Bryan gambling writer and poker player Timandra Harkness journalist, writer and broadcaster; author, Technology is Not the Problem and Big Data: does size matter?; presenter, Radio 4's FutureProofing and How to Disagree David Reid visiting fellow, Institute for the Public Understanding of Risk, the National University of Singapore; director, Global Advocacy; author, Running The Risk Sandy Starr deputy director, Progress Educational Trust; author, AI: Separating Man from Machine CHAIR Dr Dominic Standish writer and commentator on risk and sport; professor, University of Iowa; author, Venice in Environmental Peril?

This week we bring you another installment of our annual Shark Week departure from the typical cheesy, campy, sometimes forgotten slasher movies. This one is from 2014 and it's a straight-up short film stretched with tons of B-roll to make it long enough. It's "90210 Shark Attack" from 2014. It's the story of a high school class (really?) that's on a field trip. They're staying at a place in Beverly Hills but they plan to spend some time by the ocean studying sharks. However, a haunted shark tooth that one of the students has somehow gives her powers and the rest of the class has to deal with the consequences. That's the most I can dress this up to make it sound interesting.

Reports broke last week of a man being bitten by a shark in Waterford and there has been some level of fear since. However, on this morning's Gift Grub, it seems as though the sharks are the least of our worries. Hit play now to hear the episode in full.

A man is recovering in hospital after being bitten by a blue shark while recreationally angling off the Waterford coast earlier this week.   The incident has generated plenty of headlines about a “shark attack”, but Lahinch-based documentary filmmaker and ocean conservationist Ken O'Sullivan believes we need to look beyond that description and have a wider conversation about shark angling and how these animals are handled.  Ken joined Alan Morrissey to discuss the incident and our relationship with sharks in Irish waters.

In this continuation of their deep dive, Gary Jubelin speaks with former Western Australian police diver Luke McCulloch about the harrowing reality of underwater investigations. Luke details the psychological and physical demands of searching for evidence and recovering bodies in "deep, dark, and dirty" conditions—from murky riverbeds to the open ocean. Luke shares the terrifying experience of working in shark-infested waters and explains why the "touch and feel" of a recovery operation never truly leaves you. They explore the professionalism required to operate in high-stakes environments and the emotional toll of a career spent finding what no one else wants to find. In this episode: The reality of body recovery in zero-visibility environments. The dangers of diving with Great White sharks. The intense selection process and resilience required to be a police diver. The lifelong impact of "deep, dark, and dirty" operations. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.

Researching apex predators often means putting yourself in situations that are mind-boggling to the average person. Our guest, Rosie Moore, is no stranger to this. She's found herself lost at sea researching bull sharks, waist deep the Everglades trying to find Burmese pythons, and in shark-infested waters right after an attack. This episode, she talks to host Dr. Samantha Yammine about her research. They discuss Rosie's experience on Shark Week, how to use forensics to analyze a shark attack, and the role of citizen science in understanding sharks. Before that, Sam looks into a new study that alleges cats are more selfish than dogs (and people). And later, there's evidence in a study that reveals how to keep mosquitoes from sticking around once summer ends.

In Part 2 of this powerful Dark Outdoors interview, Chester Moore continues his conversation with registered nurse Chris Carroll, whose life was forever changed after swimming toward a woman who had been attacked by a tiger shark in the Caribbean. After recounting the rescue attempt in Part 1, Chris reflects on what happened next—and how the experience reshaped his understanding of courage, fear, and the unpredictable power of the natural world. He shares the emotional aftermath of the attack, the lasting lessons it taught him, and why he believes ordinary people are capable of extraordinary acts when the moment demands it. The conversation also explores what Chris learned about shark attacks through firsthand experience, separating Hollywood myths from the reality of these rare but traumatic events. Rather than promoting fear, this discussion offers a thoughtful perspective on risk, human resilience, and respect for wildlife. In Part 2 you'll hear: The emotional impact of the rescue attempt after the emergency ended. What Chris learned about sharks and why these incidents are so complex. How the experience changed his outlook on life and helping others. Why courage isn't the absence of fear, but the decision to act despite it. The message Chris hopes listeners will take away from one of the most defining moments of his life. This is more than the conclusion of a shark attack story. It's a conversation about character, compassion, and the choices that reveal who we really are when everything is on the line.

Well, folks, it’s Shark Week, and around these parts that means common sense is taking a vacation while giant sharks punch a hole straight through reality. This week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, Karen and Greg dive headfirst into the gloriously over-the-top cult horror spectacle 2-Headed Shark Attack (2012). Why settle for one man-eating shark when you can have two heads, twice the teeth, and double the reasons nobody should ever get back in the water? Armed with their signature blend of horror analysis, laughs, and cocktail-fueled commentary, your hosts break down all the outrageous creature-feature madness, from impossible shark physics and questionable survival strategies to the kind of B-movie insanity that makes fans of shark horror movies keep coming back for more. To help survive the feeding frenzy, Karen and Greg are sipping on an “Aussie Jawsie” cocktail, a drink that’s every bit as fun as the movie itself. Grab a glass, settle into your favorite beach chair, and prepare for a deep dive into one of the wildest shark attack films ever unleashed upon unsuspecting audiences. If you love creature features, Shark Week movies, killer shark films, B-horror cinema, horror movie podcasts, and outrageous monster movie reviews, this episode is swimming in your direction.

A woman is screaming in the water. People on shore don't know what to do. Then one man makes a decision few ever would—he swims toward the danger. In this gripping first installment of a two-part Dark Outdoors interview, Chester Moore talks with registered nurse Chris Carroll, who found himself in the middle of a fatal tiger shark attack while vacationing in the Caribbean. What began as a relaxing day at the beach became a life-and-death emergency that tested his training, his instincts, and his courage. Chris shares, in remarkable detail, the moment he realized he wasn't responding to a drowning victim—but to someone who had just been attacked by a large shark. He recounts the terrifying swim, the rescue attempt, and the split-second decisions that unfolded in the water. This is not a sensationalized shark attack story. It's an honest conversation about courage, fear, and what drives someone to risk their own life to help another person. In Part 1 you'll hear: Chris Carroll's firsthand account of the attack and rescue attempt. The moment he realized a shark was involved. What was going through his mind as he swam toward the victim. How his experience as a nurse prepared him for an unimaginable situation. The lessons he learned from one of the most intense moments of his life. If you've ever wondered how an ordinary person responds when confronted with extraordinary danger, this is an interview you won't forget.

Growing up, I had amazing images of Shaun Tomson, surfing in Hawaii, gracing my walls. He also had a place on the walls of most everyone I know, and surely on the walls of anyone that surfed in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Shaun surfed the waves and surfed the way we all dreamed of.  Shaun Tomson is a class act. While becoming a Pipe Master in 1975 and a 1977 World Surfing Champion; and winning 19 professional surf contests over a 20 year pro surfing career; Shaun helped design and define the golden era of professional surfing with an innovative style that inspired generations.  But his story doesn't stop at world titles and his incredible surfing career… that's just the first chapter. Shaun has also built successful businesses, become a passionate and celebrated environmental advocate, written bestselling books and an incredible movie; and has emerged as one of the world's most inspiring keynote speakers.  After experiencing the heartbreaking loss, Shaun found a way to transform unimaginable grief into a powerful message about resilience, purpose, and living with intention. His “Code” has since inspired everyone, internationally, from Fortune 500 executives and elite athletes to students and everyday people looking to live more meaningful and empowered lives. Whether he's talking story about epic surf sessions, sharing life lessons, inspiring or challenging people to become their best selves, Shaun brings passion, purpose and power to everything he does.  What an incredible opportunity for me to sit down and talk with one of my all-time idols… for way more reasons than just his surfing; but surfing is where it all started and what inspired generations.    0:00 – Introducing Shaun Tomson & the "Pinch Me" Moment 5:00 – Family History: War, Persecution & Escape to South Africa 10:00 – His Father's Shark Attack and a Surfing Family Is Born 17:00 – Finding Flow: Rhythm, Instinct & a New Style 30:00 – Surfing Through Apartheid and Crossing the Color Line 38:00 – His Father's Code: Grace, Sportsmanship & Never Complaining 45:00 – 1976: The Birth of Professional Surfing 63:00 – Losing Matthew and Finishing "The Code" 67:00 – Code 12: Turning the Code Into a Framework for Kids 107:00 – Rebuilding a Values-Driven Brand & Where to Find Him

Every year when I go to the beach, I have the same thought: Are there sharks out there in that dark water? It's not an irrational fear. Years ago, a student at my university, Lucas Ransom, was surfing off the California coast when a great white shark attacked him. I didn't know him personally, but we went to the same school, and some of my closest friends were in his classes. I still remember walking into class the next morning and hearing the story from one of my professors. You just don't forget something like that. And maybe that's why sharks have always felt so real to me, and not just like mysterious creatures from a documentary. Is it safe to swim off the Pacific and Atlantic coast? Let's talk about it. After all, the timing is right! It's summer, and Shark Week kicks off on July 26 in the U.S. — Discovery Channel's 38th annual deep-dive into all things sharks. For one week, it feels like the whole country is talking about these creatures: their behavior, their migration patterns, and the (very small) odds of ever encountering one. :) Ready to keep building your English? ⭐ Try our Free 14-Day English Slang and Expression Challenge.⭐ Or dive deeper — learn more about the Academy.

The 1975 film that emptied the beaches was built on real horror — the 1916 Jersey Shore attacks that killed four, the unsolved disappearance of Tom and Eileen Lonergan, and the science of why great whites bite at all.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/jawsREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/jawsFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: In June of 1975 we were exposed to one of the scariest movies ever made. For this podcaster, it's just not Independence Day until I watch it – and you still can't get me to swim in the ocean. We'll look at what made ‘Jaws' so successful… and so frightening. We'll also look at the true story of a string of shark attacks in 1916 that inspired the novel and the film. And while 1975's ‘Jaws' was inspired by a series of shark attacks but greatly fictionalized, the film ‘Open Water' from 2003 is based on a very real and terrifying story. But the truth behind the movie is a dark mystery that goes way beyond the horror of what you see in the film. We'll look at several other real shark attacks that are almost too incredible to believe, and also try to answer the question as to why shark attacks don't happen more often as you would expect them to, seeing as humans should be easy pickings.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding (My First Experience With a Horror Movie)00:02:16.983 = Show Open00:05:28.642 = The Real-Life Inspiration for “Jaws”00:15:01.913 = The Horror of “Jaws” ***00:40:05.165 = The True Darkness of “Open Water” ***00:52:06.811 = Real Shark Attacks01:04:18.086 = Why Sharks Attack Humans ***01:23:44.579 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: July 03, 2020This episode of Weird Darkness dives into the world of sharks — the 1975 film that made a generation afraid of the water, the 1916 New Jersey attacks that shaped America's fear of the sea, the unsolved disappearance behind a 2003 horror movie, a catalog of real maulings, and the science of why sharks bite people at all.It opens with Steven Spielberg's Jaws, the 1975 blockbuster that grossed $7 million its first weekend and ranked sixth on IMDb's list of the ten best horror films. The mechanical shark, three models all nicknamed "Bruce," sank on first submersion and corroded in the saltwater of Nantucket Sound, forcing Spielberg to keep the animal off-screen for all but roughly four minutes and to build terror through John Williams' two-note score instead. Screenwriter Carl Gottlieb, who now calls it "the fish movie," predicted audiences would fear the ocean the way they feared showers after Psycho. Clinical psychologists Ali Mattu and James Hambrick, both trained to talk people out of irrational fears, admit the film gave them their own galeophobia, with Mattu once showering while standing on the edge of the tub to avoid a drain-based attack. Author Peter Benchley, who wrote the novel, spent his final years advocating for shark conservation after fishermen killed sharks by the thousands in the film's wake, cutting large shark populations along the eastern seaboard by an estimated fifty percent.From there the episode turns to the real attacks that preceded the fiction, the deadly summer of 1916 along the Jersey Shore. Charles Vansant, a 25-year-old from Philadelphia, bled to death in the lobby of the Engleside Hotel in Beach Haven on July 1 after a shark clamped his left leg in three-and-a-half feet of water. Five days later Charles Bruder, a 27-year-old Swiss bellboy captain, lost both legs off Spring Lake, and on July 12 the killing moved more than a mile inland up Matawan Creek, taking 11-year-old Lester Stillwell and Stanley Fisher, the 24-year-old tailor who dove in to recover the boy's body. President Woodrow Wilson convened a cabinet meeting over "the shark horror," and shark hunter Michael Schleisser later killed a shark in Raritan Bay with human bones reportedly found inside, after which the attacks stopped.Next the episode examines Open Water, the 2003 film built on the disappearance of Tom and Eileen Lonergan, experienced divers left behind by the Outer Edge dive boat at St. Crispin Reef on the Great Barrier Reef on January 25, 1998. No one noticed them missing for roughly forty-eight hours. A dive slate later recovered miles away bore the date January 26 and a plea for help, their diaries revealed unhappiness and Tom's stated readiness to die, and their wetsuits and air tanks washed ashore without a single bite mark or trace of blood. Australian diver Ben Cropp argued tiger sharks took them within two days, while boat owner Jack Nairn faced a manslaughter acquittal and a civil negligence conviction that shuttered his company, and more than twenty people claimed to have seen the couple alive afterward, leaving the truth unresolved.Next comes a run of documented real-life attacks stretching across centuries. The USS Indianapolis sank near Guam on July 30, 1945, dropping roughly 900 sailors into the water where sharks reduced the survivors to 317. Barry Wilson, a 17-year-old tuba player, became the first person killed by a shark in California history, and free-diving abalone hunters Omar Conger and Randall Fry were both taken by great whites, Fry's body recovered with his head separated from it. Bethany Hamilton lost her left arm at thirteen and returned to competitive surfing, spearfisherman Rodney Fox survived a torso bite by gouging the shark's eyes and now educates the public about the animals, and Brook Watson lost a leg to a shark in Havana Harbour in 1749 at the age of fourteen.The episode closes with the science of why sharks bite people, drawn from researchers including Gavin Naylor of the Florida Program for Shark Research and marine biologist Blake Chapman. Attacks correlate with the overlap of people and sharks in the same water, which is why rising seal populations off Cape Cod — rebounding under the 1972 Marine Mammal Act — drew great whites that delivered Massachusetts its first fatal attack in eighty-two years in 2018. Most bites appear to be cases of mistaken identity, the flash of a foot resembling bait fish, and the three species most often responsible are the great white, tiger, and bull sharks, the last hunting murky water by smell and electroreception rather than sight. The odds of dying in a shark attack sit near one in 3.7 million, yet Hannah Mighall, mauled by a five-metre great white in Tasmania's Bay of Fires at thirteen, still carries the toothy bite scar on her leg and the nightmares that came with it, alongside her refusal to see the animals culled for what they did to her.

This is the All Local afternoon update for July 3, 2026.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports on a new federal law to help prevent shark attacks.

As we head out for our summer vacations, some of us are lucky enough to be headed to the ocean. Blue skies, sunshine, blue water to the horizon. But there's always that nagging fear, as Jaws taught us, that underneath those frothing white waves, sharks may be lurking. This is the story of the deadliest shark attack in history.

Jameson Reeder is a shark attack survivor who was bitten while snorkeling in waist-deep water at a sandbar in the Florida Keys. After five years of living in the Florida Keys with his wife, a perfect day on the water turned into a life-threatening emergency when a shark grabbed his leg. In this powerful episode, Jameson reveals the immediate moments of the attack, the extensive emergency medical treatment and multiple surgeries that followed, and the long road to physical and mental recovery. What's most remarkable is his perspective: despite the trauma, he maintains deep respect for sharks and has become an advocate for ocean safety awareness and marine conservation.
