Join Ellen & shark scientist Melissa Márquez for a review of the giant garbage disposals of the ocean: tiger sharks. We discuss sharks as links to our world’s past, what it’s like to work with the ocean as your office and wild sharks as your colleagues, teeth and slime and jelly-filled pores.
168: Velvet Worms & Binturong
00:54:50 | Episode: 168 | November 9th, 2022
Christian sticks to velvet worms & Ellen hangs out with binturongs. We discuss sticky situations, some unconventional means of reproduction, prehensile tails, and popcorn-scented pee.

00:52:10 | Episode: 167 | November 2nd, 2022
Join Ellen & special guest, invertebrate photographer, zookeeper and science communicator behind “She’s Got Legs” Caitlin Henderson, for a review about the best huggers of the arachnid world: huntsman spiders. We’ll discuss why your yard glitters at night, fake webs for real spiders, cartwheels, backflips, spider unions, spider spaghetti, and why the most dangerous thing about these little guys is how much we fear them.
166: Iberian Ribbed Newt & Australian Ghostshark
00:49:38 | Episode: 166 | October 27th, 2022
Ellen has a bone to pick with the Iberian ribbed newt & Christian channels the spirit of the Australian ghostshark. We discuss insides becoming outsides, amphibian space flight, living fossils, and reset the “episodes since last Naruto reference” counter to zero.

Join Ellen & special guest, entomologist Johanna Schwartz, for a review of animals you may not have thought to appreciate before: wasps. From the world’s smallest insect, the fairyfly, to the infamous giant hornet, the wasp world is full of imposters, cockroach brain surgery, pollination and pest control.
164: Bowmouth Guitarfish & Timber Rattlesnake
00:51:49 | Episode: 164 | October 12th, 2022
Christian shreds on the bowmouth guitarfish & Ellen shakes things up with the timber rattlesnake. We discuss the shark-ray spectrum (which is not a laser beam that turns you into a shark), weird teeth, how a snake’s rattle works, and why you should peacefully leave them alone.
163: The Dodo w/ Natalie Sabin!
00:51:41 | Episode: 163 | October 5th, 2022
Join Ellen & special guest, ecologist and history podcaster Natalie Sabin, for a post-mortem of the dearly departed dodo. We discuss the unique traits that allowed the dodo to thrive in its island home, what went wrong for them when humans appeared, and why they left such big heavy footprints in our hearts.

01:04:16 | Episode: 162 | September 29th, 2022
Join the Weatherfords for a weekly animal review! This week, Ellen puts the spotted lanternfly in the spotlight & Christian spills his guts on the crown-of-thorns starfish. We discuss stinky trees, winged invaders, crunching up corals, and eyes where you least expect them.
