    Tench: Doctor Fish

    May we have your at-TENCH-ion please? Will the real Slime Shady please stand up? Folklore has it that Tench slime can cure any sick fish that rubs against it. Hence its other name: “Doctor Dre.” Oh wait, oops (checking notes). Hence its other name: "Doctor Fish." Guest Bryan Witte, a fisheries biologist with the Kalispel Tribe talks with us about ol' Tinca tinca including how and where to catch one. Tench were first introduced to North America in the 1870s.

    Spike-toothed Salmon/Weaponized Mustache

    Meet the spike-toothed salmon, a prehistoric Pacific salmon 8+ feet long. With similarities to modern-day sockeyes, this giant species in the genus Oncorhynchus used to spawn in the Pacific Northwest as recently as 4-5 million years ago. What were its spikes for? Why did it go extinct? And is there anything we can learn from past extinctions? Three guests to help us reflect on this prehistoric branch on the salmon family tree: Ray Troll (artist), Kerin Claeson (professor of anatomy at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine), and Brian Sidlauskas (professor and curator of fishes at Oregon State University).
