Beyond All the Sharks is our companion podcast to the Netflix show All the Sharks. Hosted by the science team featured in the series, we - the Shark Docs - go beyond the screen to talk with local researchers and conservationists working on the front lines in each magnificent location. From deep-sea fisheries to community-led shark protection, each episode reveals the real stories behind sharks and rays in some of the most biodiverse marine ecosystems on the planet.
