Why do some plants grow where they do? How can geology cause new plant species to evolve? Why are some plants pollinated by flies, some by bats, some by birds, and others by bees?

  • Could be better

    I came her after watching the YouTube videos. Tony is incredibly intelligent and it’s inspiring when he’s actually walking around in nature, but I’m kind of disappointed that the podcast is 60% moaning, impressions of people and defending his right to say offensive stuff. I still listen for the bits in between, but it’s a tough listen.
