  • Top notch paleo with an Aussie accent

    Like the previous reviewer I was introduced through Adele’s appearance on The Common Descent. Since I am all caught up on TCD and therefore reduced to waiting 2 weeks for my next fix, PIP is a godsend. The fossil skink episode was almost a perfect match for this morning’s 6 mile walk.
