Introducing "Jaws Island"

Dun dun... This week, on Endless Thread... dun dun... something new is here... dun dun dun dun... a podcast mini-series about the 50th anniversary of the cinematic classic... DUN dun dun dun DUN dun dun dun..."Jaws!"

Part 1 of this mini-series, Jaws Island (wbur.org/podcasts/short-run), is right here, right now, and it's all about the "finatics" (yes, that's what they call themselves). WBUR arts and culture correspondent Andrea Shea (wbur.org/inside/staff/andrea-shea) takes us to Martha's Vineyard — AKA "Amity Island," where Jaws was filmed — for the 50th anniversary celebration of the film.

Through conversations with "finatics," collectors, and cast members, Andrea learns how Steven Spielberg's enduring monster movie sank its teeth into us.

Parts 2 and 3 are right around the corner, so follow Jaws Island (link.chtbl.com/jawsisland) in your podcast app! ("You're gonna need a bigger podcast library!")
