Becoming Paleontologists
For our final episode of season 1 we go into detail on how the two of us met, how we got into paleontology, and the various twists and turns that have made up our two careers. CW: Cursing. Yep, that’s all this time – we were surprised too!

Thick Thighs and Body Size
From dinosaurs to rhinos to bugs, things used to get a whole lot bigger than they seem to today. In this episode we talk all about evolutionary constraints, the narrow set of bumper bars enforced on us by biology. CW: Body fluids. Using the term bug incorrectly (sorry entomologists). Cursing.

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Eggs
…and then some. From the eggs of the platypus to the eggs of dinosaurs, we’ll talk about how eggs are formed, why humans don’t lay them, and of course, why the egg definitely came before the chicken. CW: Placentas and afterbirth, body fluids, cursing

Everything That Ate Our Ancestors
It’s time to be more afraid of seals, everyone. And hyenas. And tigers. And… birds? And big crocodiles. Really, the deeper you go into human history, the longer that list of fears gets – and on this episode, we go real, real deep. CW: death, dead bodies, being hunted, cannibalism.

The Science of Fossil Poop and Puke

CW: Everything in the title, cursing, stomach stones (bezoars)

Many references to genitalia.
Customer Reviews
Love it!
I love listening to it on my commute to school! I personally enjoy listening because I am a geologist, but I think this podcast is also great for those who don’t have a strong background in geology as it’s so informative and fascinating!! Can’t wait to more episodes to come!
Scientific and Exciting
This is so exciting to have a network where earth science and the inspiration behind exploration can be discussed and shared. Looking forward to engaging in all of the different types of geology-centered podcasts that this network will showcase!
Madison Ward- Undergrad Geol
I love geology and I love podcasts, so this is awesome! I love to travel so when I’m in the car for long periods of time, podcasts are what I turn to. That first episode was great and very informative! There’s only a few geology podcasts out there, so thank you for expanding on our very small niche science field! My only critique is I wish these episodes were longer, seriously I could listen to information about geology all day.
