0:00.0 | It's Curiosity Weekly from Discovery. I'm Dr. Samantha Yemean, and you're not going to believe me when I tell you this. |
0:09.8 | Sharks still hide plot twists. There've been some very new and almost unbelievable discoveries around sharks in 2025. |
0:17.8 | Seriously, I'll prove it to you. Consider this episode and the next one, your audio companions |
0:23.0 | to Shark Week 2025, which, by the way, returns on July 20th on Discovery. There are going to be a few |

1:23.9 | Alison Towner joins us to chat Great White Assassins and Air Jaws, because she's one of the |
