Exploding Whales for Beginners


Listen Later

Ever wondered what happens when a whale carcass goes boom? In this chaotic and educational episode, we dive into the infamous 1970 Florence, Oregon whale explosion, where a poorly planned dynamite detonation made history—and covered spectators in blubber. But that’s just the beginning. We uncover a series of equally wild (and disastrous) attempts to handle beached whales worldwide, complete with explosions, unintended consequences, and plenty of questionable decisions. Join us for explosive laughs, unexpected history, and the kind of whale tales you didn’t know you needed. Perfect for fans of bizarre history, marine mishaps, and a good dark-humored laugh.
