- Risky Business: A Look Inside America's Adult Film Industry examines the social, psychological, and economic impacts of performing in adult films. What makes people decide to become adult entertainers, how do they go about entering the business, what are their experiences in the business, and how do they deal with career options, finances, and relationships once they exit the business? The documentary also examines proposed regulations that would address current industry issues, including workplace health and safety, such as mandatory STD testing and condom use, and job discrimination once performers decide to leave the industry and pursue conventional employment.
- On the southern tip of the Florida Everglades, the Shark River meets the Gulf of Mexico. This estuary is home to a number of predators, including the alligator and the bull shark. But despite its wild nature, the Everglades ecosystem is in trouble. Humans have greatly reduced water flows across the famed "River of Grass." Now, a large scale restoration project aims to re-direct some of the fresh water back into the Everglades. A team of scientists from Florida International University has been studying predators in the estuary. Their goal is to better understand how these animals will respond to the changes in water flows, to ensure they continue to fulfill their critical ecological role in the food web. This episode is a co-production of Symbio Studios and WPBT2.
- The team has a chance to finally solve the case of the USS Cyclops. Missing since 1918 with 309 sailors, this 500-foot freighter represents the single deadliest Bermuda Triangle loss. Now the divers race two hurricanes to investigate a new target further north than previously considered, while the land team tries to answer century-old mysteries: How did Cyclops sprint so quickly through the Bermuda Triangle? Was something chasing her? Or did her unusual cargo drive the crew insane?
- Join Jeff Corwin as he embarks on an enthralling conservation project to collar a majestic Florida black bear, offering insights into the species' habits and their connection to native culture.

- Even though there are nearly 8 billion people on Earth, shark attacks are incredibly rare. Yet humans kill untold millions of sharks each year, primarily for their fins and meat. This unsustainable practice has led to over more than a third of shark species facing extinction. Can we reverse this trend before it's too late? In this episode, Dr. Rae and Peter dive into the world of shark conservation, meeting the passionate scientists fighting for these creatures' survival. Peter joins a team tagging a large bull shark off the Florida coast, while Rae and Peter later travel to the Bahamas to visit one of the world's few shark sanctuaries. There, they assist researchers in monitoring the sharks' health within the sanctuary and get up close and personal with gentle Caribbean reef and nurse sharks.
- Dr. Rae and Peter explore some of the planet's most amazing aquatic wildlife and the heroic efforts to protect them. In Georgia, Dr. Rae comes face-to-face with North America's largest freshwater turtle species and discovers how it's thriving in the swamp. Next, our hosts get up close and personal with some charismatic beluga whales involved in conservation research that ultimately benefits their counterparts in the wild. Finally, Rae has an emotional underwater experience with the majestic and massive whale shark.
