We're back from vacation! Science educator and evolutionary biologist Dan Riskin joins the show to interview David about what happened at the Burning Man festival. It rained, and that made international headlines. Here's the strange scoop from someone who was actually there. But more importantly, there's a strange tale of a desert radio station, David's mother, and a character named Butthole Steve. Don't worry, a little science is covered too: Dan lets us know why scientists are rethinking the rules for naming species (spoiler: it's Hitler's fault).
