I took a week off from writing this week. My son, Penn, is always asking to listen to my podcast. It is obviously not appropriate content for a 5 year old... so I told him we could do our own episode where he talks about something he is interested in. His current obsession is prehistoric animals.
I bring you....Killer Creatures!
Dunkleosteus, Helicoprion, Terror Bird, Titanoboa, Mosasaurus and the Kraken.

There is only one source for today's content, a YouTube video posted by BE AMAZED. He has been reciting it like an encyclopedia.
