Welcome back to Episode 2.2!

On today’s ep:

• Bonnie’s age deterioration and half marathon training 
• Averill’s boring weeks 
• The many reasons dolphins are superior to humans - featuring sex and mirrors, combined? Maybe! (Unfortunately not) 

Today we get into a few papers around dolphins and their incredible abilities. 

Can they recognise themselves in a mirror? Do they have sex for pleasure, and what the hell does their clitoris look like? That + more!
