I found this podcast because I was fascinated by the Western Interior Seaway. So listened to that episode. I have been hooked since. Although paleontology is not my field (I am in environmental science) I love the little bits of geology, ecology, meteorology that I find here. Also, I love the format of this podcast. I am easily overstimulated and this laid back in depth dive is exactly how I can take in information. THANK YOU!!
I have been looking for the perfect prehistory podcast for years. I went to Reddit and wrote down every suggestion I could find and I began listening to the bunch. By far, these guys are absolutely the best. Their pace is fantastic, and the news is a must listen.
Favorite science podcast.
I can’t stop recommending it.
Will and David’s enthusiasm for learning and for everything Earth history can get me excited about even– no, ESPECIALLY the most niche of topics. The dedication they put into research and charisma in delivery make this podcast an essential part of my library.
Anyone who loves science and history of life on earth, i cannot recommend this podcast highly enough.
I love learning new things, and I love finding good educational content from all kinds of different fields of study.
I’m also a chronic anxiety gremlin. One day, I stumbled across this! The show is so well researched and the hosts are entertaining! It keeps my mind off things while close my eyes and listen and I learn new stuff about the world. By the time the show is done all I’m thinking ... more
A really good podcast, rigorously researched, consistent quality and well presented… but slightly spoiled (for me) by the presenters’ over-use of the adjective ’cool’, which starts to grate (surely there are plenty of other creative options?) and giggling a little too much at their own in-jokes. But, other than these petty niggles, excellent!
