Remembering I'm an Animal
Billy Baker and Jody Simoes
38 episodes
5 days ago
An adventure in wild ideas and wild behaviors, all to answer the question: Can acting like a Homo sapiens make you feel more human? We identify the fundamental evolved abilities programmed into our DNA, the things we were born to do, and then attempt to express them. Or something like that. It's usually a bit of a mess, but the truth is that our restoration project is working. Come join us. Hosted by a mostly mediocre writer named Billy Baker, and a definitely mediocre scientist named Dr. Jody Simoes, who allegedly has a Ph.D in something to do with fisheries and wildlife.

Going deep with freediving legend Whitey Baun

When the human body takes a deep breath and dives down into the ocean, it reflexively sets off a series of physiological responses so magical that it has been called "The Master Switch of Life."

To connect with that switch, the fellas connect with Whitey Baun, a freediving master who at age 72 has been called the dean of the underwater world in Massachusetts. A day after taking Billy for a humbling, frightening, and ultimately inspiring dive off the coast, Whitey sits down at the mic to talk about his extraordinary life, and the meditative calm he can only find at the bottom of the ocean.

Here's a link to some great information about the Master Switch of Life, excerpted from the excellent book "Deep" by James Nestor:
