GL DEEP DIVES
NEW EPISODES EVERY TUESDAY, FRIDAY AND SUNDAY!!!
GL Deep Dives is not just a podcast—it’s a journey into the unknown, an exploration of the mysteries that shape our world and challenge our understanding of reality. Hosted by Gorgorod, the show is built on curiosity, critical thinking, and the refusal to accept easy answers.
Every episode invites you to look beyond the surface, to question the stories humanity has carried for thousands of years, and to explore the strange edges where history, science, philosophy, and myth intersect.
At its core, GL Deep Dives is about wonder—the human drive to explore the unanswered questions of existence. From ancient civilizations and forgotten histories to the nature of consciousness, unexplained phenomena, and the stories that shaped cultures, the podcast dives into the mysteries that continue to fascinate us.
This is not a show about delivering final truths. Instead, it’s a space for exploration. Dogma has no place here. Each topic is approached with open-minded skepticism, balancing imagination with reason. GL Deep Dives challenges you to think critically while still leaving room for awe.
Each episode takes you into worlds both familiar and mysterious: the symbolic layers of myth, the puzzles of our universe, and the questions humanity has asked for centuries. These stories aren’t just entertainment—they’re windows into how people throughout history have searched for meaning.
For some listeners, GL Deep Dives is a place of discovery. For others, it’s a mirror reflecting deeper questions about life, history, and the unknown. For everyone, it’s a reminder that curiosity is one of humanity’s greatest strengths.
If you’ve ever looked at the night sky and wondered what’s out there…
If you’ve ever questioned the myths and stories passed down through generations…
If you’ve ever felt that reality might be stranger than it appears…
Then GL Deep Dives is made for you.
This podcast is for the curious, the skeptical, the dreamers, and the explorers—people who understand that the world is filled with unanswered riddles, and that exploring them is part of what makes us human.
Every deep dive is an invitation to question the obvious, reconsider the impossible, and explore the unexplained.
GL Deep Dives — where curiosity meets mystery, and every question opens another door.

How Giant Squids Became the Kraken: From Sea Monster to Legend
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
For centuries, sailors told stories of a terrifying sea monster so massive it could drag ships beneath the waves.
They called it the Kraken.
In this episode of GL Deep Dives, we explore how real creatures like giant squids may have inspired one of the greatest sea monster legends in history.
From ancient sailor tales and Nordic mythology to modern marine biology, we break down how fear, mystery, and rare encounters with massive deep-sea creatures created a legend that still captures our imagination today.
We explore:
• the origins of the Kraken myth
• how giant squids became linked to sea monster stories
• why the deep ocean still feels so mysterious
• historical sailor accounts and exaggerated sightings
• what science now knows about giant squids
• and why the Kraken remains one of the most iconic creatures in folklore
Was the Kraken purely a myth…
or was it inspired by something very real lurking in the deep?
No dogma. Just honest talks and open minds.
New episodes every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday — no exceptions. Stay curious.
