    Our silly little show

    5 years, 10 seasons, 100 episodes, 1 finale.  The question of how to end How Many Geese is one we've mulled over for months, but we knew we really couldn't do it without the people that have the made the show such a joy for us to make - you guys.  So join us on a trip down memory lane as we hear some of your favourite moments from goose history, pull back the curtain for some behind the scenes revelations and look at some of the maddest stories that never made it. Then, we're going out in style with one last visit to the arena as we face off with the only animal fitting enough to be our final foe.  For those left longing for more, you can find us on our Patreon club, with monthly episodes released for only £3 a month - www.patreon.com/howmanygeese But for this show, that's us flying off into the sunset. It's something we're both extraordinarily proud of, and we hope it continues to make people laugh and amaze them at the awesomeness of nature for many years to come.  Thank you for an amazing 5 years.  Jack & Roddy

    An olive branch to Australia

    For 5 years, there is one country that has been our spiritual home - Nature's Thunderdome.  In a homage to a place that has given us so much over the last 99 episodes, this episode is a deep dive into the most chaotic collection of creatures on the planet. But is Australia as dangerous as we've made out all these years? Join as we delve into the stats, make some surprising discoveries and crown the one true thunderdome...  The fight segment sees Roddy tangling with one of the most bizarre looking animals we've ever welcomed into the arena, the Stargazer Fish, before we answer our final ever question on the show - if we were going to start an art movement, what animal would we choose as our mascot?  As we near our hundredth episode and series finale, there's also a bonus clip from the Patreon too.

    The locomotion of a walrus

    It's time to take the King's shilling and head out to sea as this episode starts with naval tales as a walrus takes on a Russian navy boat, before Roddy grabs a calculator and does some truly bonkers marine mammal maths. Once the calculations are finished though, we take a look at how our activities at sea have impacted ecosystems in ways (perhaps, the naïve amongst us!) would never have thought... That's not all of course, as we then head not to the arena - but a deviously constructed battle box for the fight segment against a crab, and then round things off by assembling our stag do teams (bachelor parties for those overseas!) from the natural world.  As we near our hundredth episode and series finale, there's also a bonus clip from the Patreon too.

    The domesticated elite

    Evolution has carefully crafted species over milennia, tinkering with them in the face of each new challenge to produce the wonders of life that lay before us today. Today's episode takes a look at just how easy it is for humans to ruin that as we bend the species of the earth to our will in one of the most fascinating processes we've subjected nature to - domestication.  Once you've wrapped your head around a crazy study that Jack is bringing to the table today, get ready for the arena as we're taking on the Quokka, an animal influencer whose no stranger to rubbing shoulders with the stars. Finally, we're offering you a choice - you're in a supermarket, alone, for 2 weeks. Red pill: Silverback Gorilla, blue pill: five Black Mambas. Choose wisely...

    Featuring Hugh Jackman

    Join us this week as we hide the machinery of knowledge behind the fleshy exterior of whimsy and delve into the world of robot animals. Armed with nothing but silliness, a can do attitude and ... a certain Australian's filmography, we take a look at examples of where creatures and cybernetics are colliding around the world.  The arena expands this week to welcome Henry as Roddy joins forces to take on the Kakapo. Can this new formed duo take on the world's largest parrot? In the words of (none other than, and I can't believe she's making a reference before we close out) Helen Keller: "Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much..." But that's not all of course, as we close the show out by answering that most 21st Century of questions - which animal, is the animal Kanye West?   For more goose, migrate over to the Patreon flock for extra episodes of the show: www.patreon.com/howmanygeese

    The Ghost Duck of Tushingham

    Today's episode is sitting round the campfire with a torch under its face as we share some spooky stories from the natural world. We take a peek into the world of ghostly animals, both real and... questionable, before delving into one of the most extraordinary tales we've ever told on the show... Roddy then takes the fight to the mountains of Germany as he does battle with a subterranean monster - the Giant Rainworm of Baden. Then we stick with the giant animal theme as we answer - what would be the worst animal to suddenly be made Godzilla-sized?  For more goose, head on over to our Patreon flock for extra episodes of the show: www.patreon.com/c/howmanygeese

    May I take your coat, sir?

    Here we go listener, we have lift off on HMG's final voyage as season 10 kicks off in style.  In honour of our noble goose mission over the last 5 years of trying to make a nature podcast that you'd have fun listening to, Roddy is shining a light on fun in the animal kingdom. Do animals just have fun? And if so, which ones and why?  Our fight segment got Roddy dressing up all fancy as he takes on a foe you might not necessarily associate with a fine dining experience - the Babirusa. And then finally, to wrap up proceedings for episode 94, we answer a question that I cannot believe, in all our nerdery, we've not tackled already - as we cast the Fellowship of the Ring as animals.  Find us on Patreon over at patreon.com/howmanygeese for bonus episodes!

    Geese on Tour: Charismatic Crawlies

    Time to get those waders on listeners as we head into the aquatic realm for this episode of HMG.  Martha Glennon, from Not Bourne Yesterday (and the People vs. Sea Otters fame), is our guide into the crystal clear, watery world of chalk streams - Britain's rarest type of habitat.  We find out about what makes them so special, what lives inside them and what YOU can do to find yourself having a lovely time in a chalk stream just like we did...
