Apple Podcasts5Bec BallardAustralia2 years ago - 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.

I really love this show, and as of the time of me writing this I have just went trilobite hunting in Utah I didn’t find any complete big ones, but I found one about the size of a stud on Lego brick. I really love the podcast you make and the animals you talk about. 5 star!!!
