    • Science

We're working to bring you more episodes of Veritalk very soon. In the meantime, we've brought our spookiest series out of the podcast crypt. Get a mug of hot apple cider, turn out the lights, and take a listen to the first of three episodes about Monsters.

Mermaids: They’re cute, innocent, and great singers, right? Think again! PhD candidate in Celtic Languages and Literatures Greg Darwin explains why you wouldn’t want to meet a mermaid in a dark aquatic alley. He also talks about selkie tales – and legendary creatures that live at the edge of humanity.
