    The Biologic Podcast

    Welcome to the Biologic Podcast, an audio exploration of the incredible world of living things.

    The journey begins at the dawn of life, almost 4 billion years ago. In this ancient eon, biochemical reactions gave rise to ordered systems (the cell) capable of replication. The key to this replication is the genome, and the DNA itself.

    At this point, the journey expands in scope; we will explore the process of evolution, then move through hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary history until we come to the modern day, to survey the modern world’s biodiversity. Then we’ll take a step back to look at the ecological interactions of all this life, and the resulting biomes that define the surface of our planet Earth.

    Our journey through the biological realm takes a sudden turn; having learned about life at the grandest scale, we now return to the ground, to look in greater detail at the various organisms that share this world with us. We first explore the physiology & diversity of plants, and then same for the fungi. Moving from flora to fauna, we explore the physiology & diversity of animals, up to and including the human being.

    The path is long and the lessons hard, but for the ever-curious listener, there are many great discoveries and insights to be had in the world of the biological.

    Latest Episodes:
    Episode 107 - Cephalopoda II - Coleoidea - The Squid, Cuttlefish, & Octopus May 16, 2024
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 107! This is part 2 in a 2-part series on the cephalopods. Today we will explore the evolutionary history of the coleoids, a "recent" branch of cephalopod. We will also examine their alien anatomy, their unusual life cycle, and their shockingly sophisticated intelligence.


    Episode 106 - Cephalopoda I - Nautiloidea - The Nautiluses Apr 15, 2024
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 106! This show is part 1 in a 2-part series on the cephalopods. Today we will explore the evolutionary history of the cephalopods, and take a closer look at the physiology and life cycle of the descendants of the strange, basal lineage of nautiloids.


    Episode 105 - Gastropods - Slugs and Snails Mar 15, 2024
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 105! Today we'll be exploring the wild world of gastropods, including their unique and bizarre physiology, as well as their even more bizarre reproductive strategies. It'll be a thoroughly entertaining and provocative episode, exploring the biology of a quiet, innocuous, and infinitely weird group of invertebrates.


    Episode 104 - Bivalvia - Clams, Oysters, Mussels, and relatives Feb 16, 2024
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 104! Todays show will dive into a particularly strange and unusual type of animal life; the bivalves. Despite most bivalves being blind, immobile piles of slimy goo encased between two shell plates, they are remarkably fascinating creatures, with many critically important ecological contributions that help make aquatic habitats more habitable for all kinds of life.


    Episode 103 - Early Mollusk Evolution Jan 17, 2024
    Show notes

    Hello and welcome to Episode 103! Today we'll be opening up a new chapter in the Biologic Podcast by diving into the anatomy, physiology, life cycle, and ecology of the rest of the animal kingdom, starting with the molluscs. The first episode in this new series will explore early mollusk evolution, and the biology of the earliest, most basal mollusk clades.


    Episode 102 - Humans & the First Metazoans Dec 15, 2023
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 102! Today, we're going to end our series on the first Metazoans with a relatively short and sweet exploration of their complex and fascinating relationship with Humans; how we see the sponges and anemones and jellyfish in our myths, urban legends, and imagination, and the role they've played in our technical and scientific breakthroughs.


    Episode 101 - Cnidaria - Corals, Anemones, Jellyfish, Hydra, and relatives Nov 16, 2023
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 101! In today's show, we'll continue our exploration of the early metazoans by focusing on the large and diverse clade Cnidaria. Here we will see all manner of jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones, among many other bizarre and strange relatives, including tiny filter feeders and obligate parasites. This will be a deep dive to meet some of the weirdest animals alive today.


    Episode 100 - The Ediacaran Biota Oct 15, 2023
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 100! Today's special episode will be a deep dive into the world of the Ediacaran biota. We'll explore the early days of the Ediacaran, and the changing world that would give rise to the earliest animal-like organisms. Then, we'll follow their evolution through the Avalon, the White Sea, and the Nama time periods to see how this Ediacaran life evolves, diversifies, and eventually responds to the presence of new forms in the early Cambrian. In this way, we will learn how the Ediacaran biota set the stage for all animal life that would follow after them.


    Episode 99 - Ctenophora - The Comb Jellies Sep 15, 2023
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 99! Todays show will explore the strange and cryptic creatures known as the Ctenophora, or the comb jellies. These incredible and basal animals are quite unlike anything else in the sea, such that they may hold the secrets to many long-standing mysteries of early animal evolution.


    Episode 98 - Porifera - The Sponges Aug 15, 2023
    Show notes

    Welcome to Episode 98! Today we will be exploring the anatomy, life cycle, and ecology of the most basal animal lineage with children still alive today; the sponges. These unassuming filter feeders are revealed to be extremely fascinating and complex creatures, critical to marine ecology.
