Informative, engaging, and refreshing!
This is by far one of my favorite podcasts. If you are interested in evolution, ecology, or the fossil record, you should definitely give this show a try. The episodes are long, and it takes a second to get into the swing of things, but the hosts (who are quite funny on top of being professionals) and the topics are captivating. This podcast delivers content that I haven’t found in any other show; it takes complicated academic and scientific ideas and findings, making them digestable for non-paleontologists, and reframes things in ways that, as a layman, I have never considered. As a child who always longed to be a paleontologist, and an adult in a world that doesn’t produce enough dinosaur media, this podcast is all I could have asked for. Can’t say enough good things!
