Jdcriii ,

Thorough and fantastic

Great info presented in a fun way. Way beyond expected. Broad range of topics. Lots of hard work shows. Very creative as well. Thanks!

the pink bandits ,

Amazingly cool and educational

This is a great Dino 🦕 podcast I love hearing the news and learning about dinosaurs because I just love Dino’s! Its fun hearing about the Jurassic movies and new Dino games! The interviews are fine now in the early episodes you can’t really hear the interviews but now they are fine. You guys should make a dinosaur encyclopedia! Also can you guys go into more definition in some of the harder things? Ps. It’s weird that in the I know Dino picture that the T. rex has herbivore teeth🥴

Bengal Kat the Cat ,

So much fun!

Can you connect chocolate or bread to dinosaurs? This podcast can! It’s lots of fun. If you loved dinos as a kid and miss them, this is the place to catch up! They cover everything from museums to news to interviewing dancers who move like dinosaurs. It’s all-encompassing and lots of fun! Thanks for giving me something to listen to at work
