    Geese on tour: To bee or not to bee

    Gather the hive and listen in - we're buzzing into your ears with a whole episode on bees! We've travelled to the World Museum in Liverpool to meet bee expert Leanna Dixon for an awesome apine* hour, and just in the nick of time too - as it was world bee day on the 20th May. With everything from the bumbling to the buzzing, we cover carpenter, mason, honey, pantaloon and even VULTURE bees!

    Geese on Tour: World Penguin Day

    Geese on Tour: World Penguin Day

    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.

    Nibbling on that Holy cheese

    Nibbling on that Holy cheese

    Order in the courts! 
    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.

    Let's talk nipples

    Let's talk nipples

    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.

    Your ocean needs you!

    Your ocean needs you!

    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...
