  • Nature - Rivers
    Oct 27 2024

    Welcome to the third episode in our nature series on The Most Dangerous Podcast! This time, Fraser dives into some of the world’s most perilous rivers before zeroing in on two uniquely terrifying creatures—the Candiru fish and the brain-eating amoeba. From the Amazon to murky freshwater lakes, discover what lurks beneath the surface and the surprising ways these microscopic killers can cause havoc.

    Starting with some of Earth’s deadliest waterways, Fraser and James explore how these rivers earned their fearsome reputations and the bizarre encounters people have had within them. Then, they get into the infamous Candiru fish, known for its reputation as a parasitic terror with an unorthodox method of finding its hosts. They reveal some myths and facts surrounding the fish’s alleged invasions and talk through why it’s been the subject of fascination for centuries.

    The duo doesn’t stop there. Next up is Naegleria fowleri, the “brain-eating amoeba,” a microscopic creature that dwells in warm freshwater and has a terrifyingly high mortality rate. Fraser and James go back and forth in a hilarious, darkly funny way as they unpack how this amoeba can end up in human brains—and what happens next. It’s an unforgettable episode, filled with facts, frights, and laughter as they balance the unsettling and absurd sides of nature’s mysteries.

    Whether you’re here for the thrill, the laughs, or the straight-up creepy, this episode promises all that and more. Tune in for an informative and wildly funny look at nature’s strangest dangers!
