Episode description
We have another short one for you to start off the new year, and we “Kraken” right into it. This week, Emma (somehow) scares Shannon with the legend of the Kraken and what it may actually be in the modern world, as the ocean is a very deep and scary place and researchers keep trying to see all of it. Turns out, neither of these hosts would like to see the bottom of the ocean. Emma also would like your poetry dissection papers to grade, please and thank you.
