In this special episode of Stuff You Should Know, Chuck and Josh tip their hats to Shark Week with an old-fashioned radio play. Join the guys (and a few guests) as they present a dramatization of the 1916 Jersey Shore shark attacks.

AI Summary

Josh and Chuck present a special Shark Week episode featuring a unique radio play about the infamous 1916 shark attacks at the New Jersey shore and Matawan Creek. Through dramatic diary readings from various characters - including victims, witnesses, and scientists - they recreate the terrifying 12-day period when five shark attacks changed American beach culture forever. This creative storytelling approach brings to life the events that inspired Peter Benchley's "Jaws," complete with voice acting from fellow HowStuffWorks hosts and atmospheric sound design.
