    How it took me, the world’s biggest dinosaur/flying reptile nerd THIS LONG to find this incredibly awesome podcast is beyond me.

    The science, information, production quality, and interaction between the Iszi and David (and their guests) is top notch.

    Also, the ability to dig deeper into the subject matter and read the linked papers in the show notes? ::CHEFS KISS::
