2 JUL 2025 · I'm taking a brief summer break, I'll be back soon! In the meantime, I'm hand-selecting some of my favorite episodes to feature. They're in the air! There's billions of them! And they're tiny! We're talking about aeroplankton, what they're doing up there, and what happens when they get in your nose. I'm joined by Soren Bowie! Last week's mystery animal sound source: https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DF8Phip5U-Wo&data=05%7C02%7CMiaTaylor%40iheartmedia.com%7Cf1aacee11147448a92e308dc5ee97eb8%7C122a527e5b714eba878d9810b495b9e3%7C0%7C0%7C638489604175852915%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=k0HmOJsaY5hr4UY7gvQBuA5%2F3l1CRqQiGE%2BQ%2Bu6yo%2Bw%3D&reserved=0See https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

3 JUN 2025 · Katie's taking a brief break (she'll be back soon!!), so here's a favorite episode! Don't worry, these critters haven't been mutilated, but rather through evolution, they've ditch certain appendages. Legs? Don't need 'em. Wings? Forget about it. Tails? Lose 'em. Sometimes efficiency requires sacrifice, and body parts have go to go!

I'm joined by (medical) Dr. Kaveh Hoda to discuss why we're the best (at being the worst) at wound healing! See https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
