  • We love this show!

    My 7 and 10 year old kids and I are on our second or even third listen of each episode and have had fun with the printable activity book. Paige and Brandi are so great, the story lines are very compelling, and they are really just nailing it. We’re headed back to the Burke soon to see all the specimens soon! Hope there’s another season coming soon!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Mysterious Twilight Zone Whale
Q: What is the significance of the Baird's Beaked Whale specimen found by Jeff?
It provides vital insights into the adaptations and behaviors of a species that is rarely seen and helps in understanding how such deep-diving whale species survive under immense water pressure.
Howl you doing? City Coyotes Tell All
Q: What should we do if we see a coyote?
It's best to not interact at all. Just leave them alone, but if they approach, you can try to be loud or wave your hands to scare them off.
