Customer Reviews
Favorite museum ever makes a podcast
I love all the effort the HMNS makes in all aspects, from holding stem workshops and dance parties with dinosaurs to Snapchat, even though I live far from Houston I still get to be a part of HMNS.
I learned new things about monarchs this episode. Perhaps I can try to get some more butterfly friendly plants. It would be helpful if the websites mentioned were in the description because one of the sites they mentioned you can order milkweed with your zip code to find your closest native plant.
I planted parsley and a side effect was swallowtail butterflys. A friend has her own butterfly house and taught me that they love parsley. I rescued a caterpillar from the NJ cold and kept it inside all winter and finally it emerged in May and I was able to release it!
I can’t wait to hear more informative podcasts especially anything on dinosaurs or Egypt
Monarchs!
I loved that they mentioned monarch migration right before I went on a road trip- I made sure to look out for them and saw probably over 200 just driving around! I’ve driven around this time of year before and NEVER made the connection that there were so many monarchs at once. I was definitely nerding out and telling everyone on the trip with me everything I learned from this podcast. Very cool!
Love this Place!
I was so excited to see that one of my favorite museums started a podcast! It's only one episode in, but I'm already hooked. The host seems knowledgeable and relaxed, and I learned a lot from the guests. I can't wait to hear what else they release.
