Mermaids, Kraken and the Loch Ness Monster: Making Sense of Myths, pt. 3
What’s lurking in the depths of the ocean? Or your local loch? We’re diving deep into the world of water-dwelling mythical creatures in part three of our series on myths. We’ll talk with monster expert Emily Zarka and learn about the very real creature that may have inspired the tale of the Kraken.

Plus, a Moment of Um about our physical reaction to fear.
