Nature
**Dude! Nature**

The longest running (and most popular) science podcast for those of us who got kicked out of class for throwing pencils at the ceiling. Adam and Noah are skeptical twin brothers whose separate journeys through professional science and engineering led them to a ridiculous notion: that reality is strange and barely understood. Unfortunately they just didn’t have the attention span to listen to any science podcasts without wanting to gouge their eyes out with a spoon.

If you’ve ever wanted to listen to more podcasts about cosmic quandaries, evolutionary mysteries, and giant creatures living underneath the ice of rogue planets but just can’t stand academic rambling delivered with a nasally voice, then this podcast is for you.

Alternative Education Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

Alternative education seems like it means any form of education that does not mean sitting in a classroom for 8 hours staring at the clock. It can involve outdoor education, where students go on hikes to learn about the natural world, movement education, learning done through dance and song. Or most recently inquiry based learning which favours hands on experimental learning over tests and rote memorisation. Alternative education has been a large part of our lives from participating in wilderness programs to schools in foreign countries so it's one we have always been fascinated by. So today we take a longer look at some popular forms of alternative education (waldorf, homeschooling) and how they are working out.

Today we take a look at how chess permeates the culture at large and we celebrate this amazing game that humans have played for a long long time.

2021 Scientific Discoveries Jan 10, 2022

Show notes

Another year is in the books, and 2021 may not have been the year that we exactly wanted, but it was definitely the year we got....we had some space exploration, some ufo nonsense, some cool discoveries including an indestructible beetle being used to influence airplane turbine design. Furthermore Biden tried to do some climate stuff, Elon musk did do some rocket stuff and we are here to wrap it all up.

Animal Sex Part 4: Oceans Dec 27, 2021

Show notes

Sea slug hermaphrodite life, hooded seal’s giant hood, bower bird’s dance, porcupine’s pee pee ritual...Sex. Mating. Reproduction, these are all vital things for the survival of humans and of course for survival of the rest of the animal kingdom. But don’t be mistaken, animals that have sex for pleasure is very much the exception. Most have brutal, competitive rituals that are extremely dangerous for the female and death for the males through intense competition. As we’ll see, there are so many different ways to get it on. From kangaroos that have three vaginas to giraffes that taste their partners pee to see if she is in heat…making babies in nature can be complicated, horrifying, and romantic all in the same moment, just like an Orangutans barbed penis.
