How many geese‪?‬ Jack Baddams & Roddy Shaw

We've travelled up to Scotland to visit Europe's biggest penguin pool - why? Because it's none other than World Penguin Day!
Join us as we head to Edinburgh Zoo to meet the people behind the penguins and learn about the home of over 130 Antarctic avians, including none other than Major General Sir Nils Olav III, Baron of the Bouvet Islands - officially the world's highest ranked military penguin. We also go behind the scenes at the zoo to learn more about their scientific work with genetics to study penguins on some of the most remote islands in the world. 
We also take a quick detour with our new show sponsors MPB photography to learn about the world of wildlife photography and see - being World Penguin Day - how one photographer got very up close with a penguin... ... .though not entirely of the penguin's making!
And lastly, in an episode more dedicated to the letter P than anything else, we are delighted to be launching our new Patreon which you can sign up to here 
A huge thank you to the team at Edinburgh Zoo for making this episode possible.

Today we're hopping back into the Goose Time Machine as Roddy tells us all about the many and varied times throughout history that animals were put on trial. PLUS
- we have an update on our team up with Birdfy as we commence Operation Parakeet
- we work out what the best radioactive animal would be to be bitten by
- Roddy gets a sense of Déjà vu as he does battle with a very specific (and very famous) groundhog.

It's calcium o'clock at Goose HQ as we talk all things milk in How many geese's very first PREQUEL episode, diving deep into dairy and marvelling at just what makes mammals so....mammal-y. We're not skimming on this episode either, as we go from milk's origin right up to a recent evolutionary step in (none other than our very own) human kind that makes us completely unique among our mammalian family in how we deal with milk. 
We then welcome new sponsors Birdfy to the show, fix all of Britain's public transport infrastructure via the animal kingdom, and of course unpack how many village weaver birds...are too many village weaver birds.

Today we're diving into one of the most badass ways of fighting back against the overexploitation of the seas as technology teams up with nature with some pretty awesome outcomes. Meet the Ocean Sentinels tracking down illegal fishing vessels down in the Southern Oceans in one of the coolest bits of research we've ever covered.
There's a slight change to the genre in today's fight as Roddy has to do battle with a BILLION insects before we head back to the ocean to recast the Pirates of the Caribbean characters as animals...

With the Academy Awards behind us, the world may be moving on from awards season... but Team Goose is here to deliver one more trophy as we take a look and present the award for one of the most insane movies you've probably never heard of - 1981's "Roar"! It's lions, lions and more lions as we look at one couple's passion project that got A LITTLE out of hand.... just ask the seventy members of cast and crew who got injured on set by their clawed co-stars!
It's not just the chaos of collaborating with cats though, as we also answer the question what five animals would we choose to kickstart life on an island and Roddy faces one of his ....roundest challengers yet - with the American Woodcock.

It's time to man the harpoons as we hop in the Goose Time Machine and set the dial back to the early 1900s to meet a very special Orca with a fascinating relationship with the local whalers. 
Our Birda chums shine the spotlight on one of the biggest birds in the world as we soar with the Andean Condor, before a child forces Roddy to do battle with Leopards. We round out the show with the question on everyone's minds as we work out what our chosen animal would be to use as the vehicle on Mario Kart's infamous Rainbow Road...
