Batten down the hatches and awaken your inner Eldritch god, it’s time to talk sea monsters. The Meerkats discuss human-mermaid sexual relations, the eponymous Moby Richard, and are joined by Abigail for a top ten list. What are Cthulhu’s pronouns? Was Walt Disney planning a second Cuban invasion with his mermaid army? What is the worst type of animal infested rain? (spoiler: it’s spiders.) Release your inner kraken and join us on Planet of the Meerkats.
