Description

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. Through the lenses of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu, Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," and Peter Watts' "Starfish," Quinn and James unravel why the ocean evokes primal fears and the role these emotions play in our storytelling traditions. 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. Find the podcast: https://linktr.ee/cosmicchroniclespod...

Another fun ocean fact is that the Diel Vertical Migration is the largest synchronized movement of biomass on earth, and it happens every day!

I already knew everything brought up in the podcast but still enjoyed it. I’m with Quinn about how terrifying the ocean is. Even standing on the beach at night and facing its dark immensity with calm but relentless motion speaks of its power, forever attempting to break its containment and swallow all.

Just throwing my 2 cents in here: it's so much more terrifying for Cthulhu and whoever else of his pals if they had come from outer space WITHOUT the use of any space-ship; like some giant deep-space surviving kaijus. Good talk, cheers!

The window that cracked on the Trieste was not a important window it was the window for the tunnel that you use to get in and out. If it broke they would be OK. Also it was basically an underwater blimp. Instead of helium it used Oil because its incompressible and lighter than water.

The Mariana Trench is also featured in "The Kraken Wakes" by John Wyndham. (I'm a big fan of John Wyndham). In the end, the Ocean is both powerful and unknown - no wonder we're scared of it.

A podcast so chill I can watch it at 2x speed and it still sounds like a casual conversation.
