Re-Release: Brachiosaurus Aug 28, 2023

Show notes

If you listened to last week’s episode on the T. rex, we’re sorry to leave you on a gigantic dinosaur sized cliffhanger for another week, but Olivia got unexpectedly swamped out in the field and we thought we’d take this opportunity to celebrate our 150th episode and look back on one of first dinosaur episodes. But don’t worry, we’ll be back ASAP with the rest of the T. rex story! For now we hope you enjoy the brachiosaurus episode, which we originally recorded in 2021.
