  • The Secret Shame of Dinosaurs

    Iā€™m so disappointed in this Podcast. I was familiar with the hosts from other media and was looking forward to their new Podcast. The constant references to private parts and bodily functions, as well as the number of ā€œF-bombs they use, detract from what would otherwise be a great show. As it is, I feel like Iā€™m listening to junior high students. I donā€™t think I can listen anymore.
