  • Super podcast!

    I got my first frogs (fire-bellied toads) in October 2025 and have been listening to these episodes ever since starting with the first one. I’m now on episode 95 and look forward to the rest. Intelligent podcast with varied content from the basics to more advanced scientific research. Dan comes across as such a nice, down-to-earth guy who clearly loves the amphibian world and is always seeking more knowledge. Kudos on a great podcast.
