  • Episode 2. Shellabration

    Welcome back! Rebecca and Ryan discuss maybe the most identifiable characteristic of a turtle, its shell! Along the way we talk about cool subjects like Pancake Tortoise odor, epiplastra and Rebecca's  extensive past clubbing experiences. And of course, what decent chelonian podcast doesn't touch on popular films?! Find out how Moana, Tremors, Beetlejuice Sandworms and Peewee's Big Adventure relate to Rebecca and Ryan's conversation! Enjoy this very "scute-y" episode!
