    27/08/2026 | 48 mins.
    There's a clam called Vulvaceramus. Or Volviceramus, if you are no fun. Let's talk about giant clams, pearls, and how Amy overidentifies with certain minerals.

    CW: Vagina jokes, obviously. Cursing. Gossip.

    Skin Teeth

    13/08/2026 | 50 mins.
    Teeth evolved to be sensitive first, thank you very much - the whole “use for eating” thing was actually an evolutionary afterthought. And whatever ratfish are doing with them is… not correct.

    CW: tenaculums & triggering medical procedures, cursing, dick shaped objects, trypophobia & odontophobia

    We narrow down the closest fossil candidate for that virgin-loving legend, the Unicorn, as Meaghan finds yet another excuse to talk about how cool artiodactyls are. Photos on Patreon!

    CW: Cursing, animal experiments, dildo discussion, the pitfalls of intelligent design

    Clever Hurl

    16/07/2026 | 58 mins.
    Filter-feeding pterosaurs and the dinosaurs that ate them and then threw them back up - a love story?
    CW: Vomit, Vomit eating (for romance), Scavenging (also for romance), Crop milk (platonic), Dinosaur slander, and of course... cursing.

    Exploding Fossil Frogs

    02/07/2026 | 46 mins.
    Some frogs are explosive breeders. Some frogs just explode. Both have somehow been preserved in lakes in Europe... a lot.

    CW: Frog death, frogs drowning each other during mating, frog researchers forgetting key feminist frog facts, bloat & float & explode as a concept, cursing
