We explore the world's best lazy rivers, found Costa Rica is somehow the 4th happiest country on Earth, and met an octopus that fakes shark shadows to murder fish. This is the best podcast in history. Welcome to Episode 64 of the Sunburnt Podcast with Emmy Award-winning Producer Thomas O'Brien and Netflix Comedian Chip Chantry. This week we float through The 11 best lazy rivers (and pitch adding a murder mystery), explain why Scandinavia and Costa Rica run the table on happiness, panic about El Niรฑo-fueled shark sightings off California and Hawaii, and crack open the Good Book for Dubai's half-million-square-foot floating water park. Plus Clarence the day octopus becomes our honorary Fish of the Week.
