Surviving the World's Coldest Swim Meet

An adventure in wild ideas and wild behaviors, all to answer the question: Can acting like a Homo sapiens make you feel more human? We identify the fundamental evolved abilities programmed into our DNA, the things we were born to do, and then attempt to express them. Or something like that. It's usually a bit of a mess, but the truth is that our restoration project is working. Come join us. Hosted by a mostly mediocre writer named Billy Baker, and a definitely mediocre scientist named Dr. Jody Simoes, who allegedly has a Ph.D in something to do with fisheries and wildlife.
