The Howler: The Dog Who Joined a Coyote Pack
00:29:21 | Episode: 19 | May 15th, 2025
On the outskirts of the Nevada desert, a young dog named Hades jumped his fence and ran away from home. His family lost hope, until one night, they saw Hades on the news. For almost seven months, he had been sleeping, eating and howling with a pack of coyotes.
The Invaders: Coquí Frogs Just Won't Die
00:23:20 | Episode: 18 | May 8th, 2025
Coquí frogs are synonymous with Puerto Rican identity. Residents of the island doze off to the high-pitched calls of coquís from dusk to dawn. There are even playlists of hours of coquí calls that lull listeners to sleep.
The Snow Beast: A Mystery Animal with Latif Nasser
00:29:11 | Episode: 17 | May 1st, 2025
Today we bring you a story stranger than fiction. In 2006, paleobiologist Natalia Rybczynski took a helicopter to a remote Arctic island near the North Pole, spending her afternoons scavenging for ancient treasures on the ground. One day, she found something the size of a potato chip. Turns out, it was a three and a half million year old chunk of bone. SPOILER ALERT BELOW.
The Windbreaker: Why Farts Make the World Go Round
00:25:44 | Episode: 16 | April 24th, 2025
Farts. Trouser trumpets. Sulfur squeaks. Or toots, as Lulu insists on calling them. Smelly bubbles of air we don’t like to talk about. But Songbud Alan and Producerbud Ana are not ones to shy away from the stinky sidelines of science.
The Shadow Creature: Rats Who Save Human Lives
00:29:22 | Episode: 15 | April 17th, 2025
Rats have a bad reputation. They’ve been called evil, terrifying and wicked. The lowliest and most abominable of creatures. Songbud Alan felt the same way until he heard of one rat from Tanzania named Magawa. We meet Pendo, Magawa’s human friend and trainer, who wanted to train Magawa for a battlefield of sorts. A battle to save human lives.
More Terrestrials Coming Soon!
00:01:31 | April 10th, 2025
