Stories about Our Connections to the Sea

The sea is the origin of life and stories: the white whale, the lost mariner, the sunken city. From shipwrecked fishermen to discoveries in marine biology, each episode of The Briny is a deep-dive into the stories that anchor us to the ocean.

Reviews from Apple Podcasts

“It will give you goosebumps. And you’ll be longing for a trip to the sea.”

“Beautiful storytelling from a seasoned reporter.”

“If my ship sinks in these whale-harboring waters, I’d be happy with my watery fate. Five stars!”
