  • Admittedly I only listened to one episode, but on a topic I was really interested in. I gave up close to the emd because it was so heavy on irrelevant silliness and very light on content about the topic. They had barely finished the basics about the species in nearly 40 minutes, let alone any really interesting details. Music too loud at times, competing with what was being said.

  • Funny and informative. I just wish it had a better title. I know they're trying to reference the famous quote, but this podcast is not about death, nor does it feature organisms other than animals.
