Hey, Brenton here. If you ever find yourself uncomfortable in the open water and not feeling that calm when you've got other people around and not knowing where to sit or where to draft off people to be most effective at it. This episode's for you. I joined the Low Tide Boys, Chip and Chris on a podcast, and they asked me all about the science of drafting. So on this episode, I get stuck into that so you know exactly where to sit. In a pack or with other people around to maximize the draft, as well as how to prepare for this stuff if you don't have much access to the open water. So I hope you enjoy this episode. There's a lot of value for anyone who's training for open water swims or doing any sort of triathlon racing. This episode is filled with things that will help you maximize your next open water race.

Michael Gunning has done so much in his life after retirement that it's almost easy to forget what an incredible athlete he was during his competitive swimming career. A Team GB athlete who switched to represent Jamaica, Michael went on to become one of the country's greatest-ever swimmers – and made history as the Caribbean's first out gay male athlete. Since then, Michael has made it his mission to help other people in sport feel comfortable as their authentic self, inspiring the likes of Daniel Jervis to open up about their sexuality and working with former Blackpool striker Jake Daniels to tell his ‘coming out' story. Combine that with Michael's hosting work at events like Cardiff Pride and the British LGBT Awards, and you can see how committed Michael is to living his mantra of leaving every room brighter than it was when he entered it. Not bad, when you think about it, for a man who was told that ‘black people can't swim' when he was growing up. Michael is a brilliant guest to have with us today – as we chat about life after swimming, being a role model to folks in the queer and Black community, transitioning to life after swimming, the pressure that comes with using his platform and so much more! And as always, a chat with Michael is an utterly authentic experience – funny, real, and nothing other than genuine – and we think you're going to love it.

Join Jill for the five-year anniversary of Be YOU - a special live podcast event celebrating 300 episodes of the podcast - on Saturday, October 25th from 1–5 p.m. in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Tickets are selling fast at jillherman.com/beyou, and discounted rooms are available at a boutique hotel right next door! Listen in this week as we revisit episode 93 of Be YOU. Given the devastating news about her father that Jill shared in her last episode, she felt that this episode's topic was a perfect one to revisit - the importance and the beauty of embracing whatever season of life that you're in, no matter how difficult that it may be. This episode stresses the fact that each person's journey and the seasons that they go through in life will look different, but it's always important to keep in mind that there is divine purpose in every season and that regardless if things are progressing slowly or quickly, it's how they were meant to progress. Jill encourages listeners to surrender to and fully experience the season that they are in, rather than wishing it away or trying to spiritually bypass the difficult emotions. Jill clarifies, however, that this does not mean burying your head in the sand and giving up on your dreams or goals but rather embodying the vibration of what you desire while also honoring the present moment. She shares that learning to put yourself first without guilt or apology is one of the greatest acts of love you can give yourself and even those around you. This oldie but goodie from 2021 reminds listeners to avoid comparing their journey to others and to simply focus on swimming their own race, trusting that everything is unfolding as it should. Remember, your time will come! Show Notes: [00:07] - Jill announces that she is replaying a past episode due to her current struggle with grief. [05:47] - Each season of your life carries its own purpose, even when it feels unbearable. [08:17] - Jill argues that surrendering to difficulty may be the only way to align with your future goals. [11:00] - Your time will come, but it will happen even more slowly unless you embrace the season that you're in. [14:09] - Unapologetically prioritizing yourself without explanation is an act of self-love that ripples into every relationship. [17:11] - “Swimming” at your own pace is the quickest way to become whole.

This is episode four of Swimming with Shadows: A Radiolab Week of Sharks.Alison Kock was working at a car wash in Cape Town when she made a discovery that completely changed the course of her life. Inside a customer's trunk, she found photographs of white sharks flying so high above the water they looked like airplanes. She followed those photographs to False Bay, “the Great White Capital of the World.” These sharks, in this place, are the apex of apex predators. Or they were.

Here, scientists are scouring shark blood to find one of nature's hidden keys, a molecular superhero that might unlock our ability to cure cancer: shark antibodies. They're small. They're flexible. And they can fit into nooks and crannies on tumors that our antibodies can't.We journey back 500 million years to the moment sharks got these special powers and head to the underground labs transforming these monsters into healers.

This is episode two of Swimming with Shadows: A Radiolab Week of Sharks.Jaws spawned a thousand imitators: sharks in tornados, sharks in avalanches, sharks that battle giant octopuses. Hollywood has officially turned sharks into monsters of every shape and size.

One that has survived mass extinctions, outlasted ancient predators and pre-dates Mount Everest, the existence of trees, even the rings of Saturn.

Episode one of Swimming with Shadows: A Radiolab Week of Sharks.Rodney Fox went into the ocean one summer day in 1963. He came out barely alive, his body torn apart by a great white shark. At the time, it was one of the worst shark attacks ever survived.After he recovered, he was pulled back into the shadowy world he feared most. Again and again and again. That shark attack left behind a question that still lingers, for Rodney, and for all of us: When you can't see the thing that scares you, what kind of monster does your mind create? And how do you fight past it?Special thanks to Surekha Davies, Asa Mittman, Scott Poole, and Maria Tatar.EPISODE CREDITS:Reported by - Rachael Cusickwith help from - Pat WaltersProduced by - Rachael Cusick and Pat WaltersSound design contributed by - Jeremy Bloomwith mixing help from - Jeremy BloomFact-checking by - Diane Kellyand Edited by - Pat WaltersSignup for our newsletter!!

In the summer of 1975, Jaws scared an entire generation out of the water. The film burned an idea into our cultural memory: they are mindless, man-eating monsters. We set out to tell a different story about sharks. Five stories over five days. We tear down deep-seated myths about sharks, plunge into the water with them, and find sharks that explode our sense of what they are – flying sharks, glowing sharks, baby sharks, sharks under attack, and sharks that may save millions of human lives.Look out for brand-new episodes in your podcast feed starting June 16th through June 20th.

On May 26, 2025, Lewis Pugh completed one of his most daring feats yet — a 60-mile swim around Martha's Vineyard in icy, shark-filled waters. Undertaken to coincide with the 50th anniversary of movie Jaws, Lewis's swim was a powerful statement to change the narrative about sharks and raise urgent awareness for ocean conservation.
