How many geese? episodes

  • The Impossible Question

    Today's episode is taking on a question that some of the finest minds across human civilisation have put their minds to - what the hell is going on with eels?! Plus; it's hammer time with Birda as we go south of the equator to meet the Hamerkop, debate what animal legs would make the best replacement for our own.. whilst it all gets a little meta in Roddy's fight with the Sarcastic Fringehead.

    What's in a name? 


    Well, today's episode aims to find out just that as we explore the animals that are named after people and if it's really a good idea to be doing it after all. We find Birda skulking around in the reeds to tell us about Clapper Rails before Roddy defends the UK's Ribena stocks against hordes of Wrinkle-faced Bats. Then we put our dancing shoes on for our listener question as we work out which animal we'd choose as our "two" to tango.

  • Wet frog egg crumpet

    Today's episode has been cryogenically stored to safeguard all its information on the importance of Frozen Zoos and how they're helping modern day conservation work. We look at how cloning is bringing species back from the brink, get to know which animal is one of the most inbred in the world and take heart from the fact that extinction may not have to be forever... 

     

    We then take our Birda segment across the pond to meet the industrious Acorn Woodpecker before Roddy enters the ocean to do battle with a leviathan of the deep - the Leatherback Turtle. And finally, as any good podcast should, we round off by working out with animal would make the best teen babysitter for our non-existent children...
