April 04, 2020 S1E14 -Dinosaur Sex
The title says it all, but this episode has everything Rachel loves: phylogeny, prehistoric Kansas, evolution, physiology, and (duh) dinosaurs--but all through the lens of the evolutionary history of copulation through penises. Duck penises are even cooler than you thought. Here's what we know about dinosaur sex.

March 13, 2020 S1E11 -Mucho Masturbation
An ultra-caffeinated, glancing look at the different styles of masturbation in the animal world and the species that engage in these non-reproductive sexual behaviors. We took a break from the deep dives and upped the caffeine. Forgive us.

February 22, 2020 S1E10 -Slurred Echolocation
A bat walks into a bar and says, "can I get a fruit cocktail?"
We're back with another one of Lyndzee's "prairie dog tunnels," this one leads to fruit bats. Fruit bats getting (or not getting) drunk on rotting fruit. It's a shorty but a goody, so grab yourself some mulberry wine and let's get batty.

February 08, 2020 S1E9 -No Boys Allowed
All-female animal species bring to question the advantages of sex, but some all-female species reveal the importance of sex, even when no males exist at all. So what's the point of sex? Rachel removes males from the equation to discuss these big questions on this week's episode. PS: Sorry in advance for all of the genetics. :P
