Things Beneath the Waves!
In this episode of Get Weird, Brittany Barbieri explores the famous 1848 HMS Daedalus sea monster sighting, in which trained British naval officers officially documented an enormous serpent-like creature. Brittany argues that dismissing such credible accounts may reflect scientific arrogance, pointing to the rediscovery of the coelacanth in 1938 as evidence that the ocean still holds many mysteries. She emphasizes that more than 70% of the ocean remains unexplored, leaving open the possibility that unknown creatures may exist. Brittany encourages listeners to stay curious, challenge assumptions, and respect both the natural world and the people who know it best.

Mermaids: Science Meets Legend
Brittany Barbieri explores the possibility that mermaids and aquatic humanoids may have roots in reality rather than existing purely in mythology. She references Cold War–era military diver encounters, cross-cultural legends, and evolutionary biology—including the controversial aquatic ape theory—to argue that the topic deserves serious consideration. Brittany also critiques how the word “mermaid” can shut down scientific discussion and reminds listeners that history has repeatedly proven skeptics wrong. Encouraging open-mindedness over rigid thinking, she invites listeners to question established narratives about the ocean’s unexplored depths and humanity’s evolutionary past.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
