This week, Kirk is back and the crew pulled together another great show. Victoria kicks things off with a creature feature on an animal we can't believe it took this long to discuss, the Dodo!

Kirk, fresh from vacation spins a tale taking us back thousands of years to the eruption of Thera/Santorini in 1618 BCE and how it may have lead to the collapse of a dynasty in China.

Rachel rounds out this week with spiders, so...many...spiders. Not only that, these spiders feed themselves to their young to keep the colony going. It's a fascinating look into yet another example of nature not fitting into our preconceived boxes.
