Welcome to Platypus & Chill — your new favorite deep-dive podcast into the world of one of nature’s most bizarre, mind-blowing, and utterly adorable creatures: the platypus! 🦫💡

If you’ve ever wondered why a mammal lays eggs, how something can have a bill like a duck, fur like an otter, feet like a beaver, and still manage to look like it was built in a mad scientist’s dream lab 🧪🧬 — you’re in the right place.

🌏 Hosted by wildlife enthusiast and science communicator Jamie Creek, each episode of Platypus & Chill takes you on a fascinating journey through:

🎧 Biology & Evolution
Learn how the platypus broke all the rules of evolution. From its venomous ankle spurs (yep, it can sting you! ☠️) to its electroreception powers (yes, it can sense electric fields like a sci-fi superhero ⚡️🦸), we unpack how this seemingly goofy animal is actually a biological marvel.

📜 History & Discovery
Did you know when Europeans first saw a platypus, they thought it was a hoax? 🤥 Learn how the world reacted to this oddball critter, how it challenged scientists' ideas about classification, and why it still fascinates researchers today. 🕵️‍♀️🔍

🌿 Conservation & Habitat
The platypus is unique to Australia 🇦🇺 and its survival is tied to rivers, clean water, and healthy ecosystems. We’ll talk with ecologists and conservationists who are working hard to protect this elusive creature from habitat loss, climate change, and pollution 🌧️🌳🚫.

💬 Interviews with Experts & Fans
From zoologists to zookeepers, indigenous storytellers to platypus plush toy collectors — we bring in voices from all over the world who are obsessed with the platypus in their own quirky way 🎙️🧸📚.

🎙️ Storytelling & Fun Facts
Did you know the platypus doesn’t have a stomach? 😲 Or that it glows under UV light? 🌈💡 Or that baby platypuses are called "puggles"? 🐣 Get ready for weird, wild facts you’ll want to share with everyone you know.

📦 Behind the Scenes: Care & Research
Ever wondered how scientists study a shy, nocturnal, water-dwelling, burrow-living animal? Spoiler alert: it involves patience, night-vision goggles, and a lot of mud 🧼👀🪺. We go behind the scenes with researchers who’ve made platypuses their life’s work.

💙 Whether you're a science nerd, animal lover, trivia junkie, or just someone looking for a delightfully random listen while you drive, work, walk, or relax — Platypus & Chill is for YOU.

👉 Subscribe now and join us every week for a mix of curiosity, comedy, and creature features as we give the platypus the spotlight it definitely deserves. Because let’s be real — you’ve heard enough about sharks and lions. It's time for the platypus to shine. 🌟🦫💬

🎧 Find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pod-pleasures. Let’s get weird — platypus style.
