So, I'm uploading this from an internet cafe in Malta, so I can't listen, and I can't for the life of me remember what's in this episode. Safe bet: some dinosaurs, pterosaurs, Cash for Questions! and some terrible movie. Am I close?

After a month long hiatus, Darren and John return, with this overlong, self-important, dull and portentous episode. News from the World of News includes the best and worst of teeth at the SVPCA, deer-cow hybrids (or as we call them "cows"), Transylvanian pturtles, some expert FU on antlers.

Cash for Questions includes the sauropod respiratory system, and a spinoff discussion on size, (we're still not sure which) Planet of the Apes, the ever-changing head of Quetzalcoatlus, and another round on tyrannosaur arms.

Finally, an extended rant on one of the worst films we've ever seen, Noah (2013). Surprising verdict: they should have stuck closer to the Bible. The best review is here. Darren: 3/10, John: 1/10.

Live Google Hangouts are hard. Too hard for us. After the technical collapse of the Google Hangout, we decided to record locally and put up what we had. Recording locally is hard too (apparently), and much of it was lost. Finally, the batteries in our laptops died, and that was that. 

However, we did manage to record some followup (antlers), the ethics of killing animals because you're interested in them, Darren and Memo's talks at LonCon 3, and finally, a pseudo cash for question from new listener John Conway, what is the most boring Tetrapod?

We will be returning to normal format for episode 31, with proper followup and all you Cash for Questions!

Episode 29 includes, are new tapirs really new?, a TetZooCon round up, a quick discussion of and many a cash for question. Questions include the usefulness to eve-devo to palaeontology, the advantage of antlerage, why pterosaurs are better than birds, and the confusing mess of ratite biogeography. 

John make a valiant attempt to get Darren to stop droning on and on about superheroes, but he can't be stopped.  So take that, podcats listeners.

Darren and John cover some followup, including the usual unbelievably stupid mistakes Darren makes about little ratty things, and John's bungling at TetZoo Tech leading to everyone's email not being read over the last couple of months.

We then whip through some News from the World of News including nothosaur tracks, Australian newts, and some News from the World of Darren and John: the last chance to book TetZooCon.

This episode is rolling in Cash (for Questions!), including two questions on theropod forelimbs (why they are so awkward and small?) and two questions on the Squamozoic.

Darren and John discuss a Sussex big cat, the eating of a great white shark, punching in the face, Deinocheirus, and the Angeac dinosaur. Such pointless banter stops for the main event: GODZILLA. Thoughts and spoilers on three Godzilla films  (1954, 1998, 2014). Surprise! Darren and John disagree.
