Audioboom Studios
About this episode
It’s almost summer! That means beaches, oceans, nature, and THE HORRORS OF BATHING SUITS AND OCEAN CREATURES. Bethany is telling you about a handful of the nightmarish goblin monsters that live at the bottom of the ocean and could grab you while you least expect it. Then, Kathleen comes up to the surface to give some great advice on how to feel much more confident in a swimsuit while you’re frolicking on the beach or running for your life from a Humboldt squid.
