Iâm currently listening to old episodes on the website â specifically the Entomology Society Awakens! from the ESA meeting in 2015. I laughed out loud (literally) when one of the scientists talked about dreaming about counting aphids, because I have had that experience while I was working in a biological control lab. Love the show!
I took an interest in insects after I retired and got involved with the local Master Naturalist program. The Arthro-Pod episodes have taught me a lot about the diversity of insects and their wide ranging roles and impacts on human history. I learn something from every episode, even from those topics that at first glance seem esoteric, whimsical, or not of interestâthey always turn out to have a nugget I needed to know and most turn out to be totally engaging. Great science communicators and ex... more
It is refreshing to listen to an insect podcast that isnât just âWow, insects are cool!â I have been listening for years and enjoyed every episode (except, maybe, the video game one).
P.S.
I really like the Purdue lecture series but the audio is terrible. Since you were at Purdue, could you put in a word with them?
Thanks and keep the episodes coming.
So glad I stumbled across this podcast. It has become one of my favourite science podcasts. Love learning about various critters from knowledgeable and passionate hosts!
