Ice Capades

This podcast is devoted to celebrating the natural world. Topics include discussions of specific organisms, natural phenomena, and actions to protect the natural world and our fellow travelers. As an aquatic ecologist, I often focus on life in freshwater. Many episodes will be based upon writings published in the last several years on biodiversity and the natural history of diverse organisms including invertebrates. 

The new cover art was designed by Lauren McCabe and is based on a calligrapha beetle. See more of Lauren's art here: https://www.instagram.com/lauren.mcc.photography/
