🔱🔱🔱Paul and Stephen wade through the deep waters and history of such aquatic mysteries as Atlantis and The Bermuda Triangle.Listen in as Stephen details Plato’s telling of Atlantis, with all its craven needs, imperialist ambitions and loss of virtue. The weird link between Atlantis and UFO/paranormal activity is legend, but did you know of the lasers in Atlantis and its connection to The Bermuda Triangle? It’s also a thing!Then Paul introduces Charles Berlitz (yes that Berlitz) who popularized The Bermuda Triangle myth, and the fact that no one actually has the vaguest sense of where the Bermuda Triangle begins or ends! Hear tales of disappearing ships like the USS Cyclops that helped build the mythos of the Bermuda Triangle (and its sister ship that also went missing years later - creepy!). Paul reveals a Speilberg Easter egg, many tales of boats and planes gone missing without a trace, and the unusual case of Donald Crowhurst, amateur sailor.Are these unexplained occurrences due to human error, magnetic fields, harsh weather, or a hoax? And our new tagline “Chinwag: Bear with Me” is born! Would you buy the t-shirt?? Ahoy! It’s a veritable Chinwag ahead!Bonus: Paul’s dramatic reading of the 1950s NY Times piece that first mentioned the mysteries surrounding the massive, mysterious swath of land later known as The Bermuda Triangle.Paul Giamatti is an award-winning actor and producer. Stephen Asma is a professor and author specializing in the philosophy of science, religion, and art.🔱🔱🔱=========Bonus Chin-Word: SARGASSUM=========New eps of CHINWAG drop Wednesdays for free... n(🧊)Make sure to follow us @chinwagpod 👉🏼 IG: https://www.instagram.com/chinwagpod/ Tik: https://www.tiktok.com/@chinwagpod Website: http://chinwagpod.fm YOUTUBE x CHINWAG Playlists ▶️ YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@chinwagpod Full episodes playlist: https://bit.ly/chinwagYT Animated shorts: https://bit.ly/chinwaganimations Send your stories, Qs, or thoughts to 📧 questions [at] chinwagpod [dot] fm Learn more about your ad choices.
