About this episode

In this riveting episode of "The Cosmic Chronicles Podcast," join hosts Quinn and James as they embark on a deep exploration of humanity's intricate relationship with the ocean, amplified through the lens of science fiction.

This episode is a journey that peels back the layers of human fascination, trepidation, and imagination tied to the mysterious depths of the sea. Tune in and delve into the ocean's enigmatic allure with the hosts as they navigate the uncharted waters of fear and wonder.
