BONUS // Guest Episode from The Briny
Fear is a powerful indicator that something could hurt us. But sometimes, the fear itself is the most dangerous part.
This is the story of marathon swimmer Pat Gallant-Charette. Because of something that happened to her when she was a teenager, Pat has to overcome a fear of deep water every time she competes. But she doesn’t let that stop her.
This is a special guest episode from The Briny, a podcast about how we’re changing the sea, and how the sea changes us.
