What a treat, this week we are joined by Brett Sieberer. You may know him as the quiz master behind our anniversary shows but he's an incredible professional naturalist as well. Rachel kicks things off this week by taking us on a journey to discover just how high an insect an fly. Brett then takes us to the depths of the ocean in search of a mysterious unknown species of whale. Kirk rounds things off by making everyone squirm as he goes into details on why you really really don't want to get a tape worm from pork. Enjoy!

This week, Kirk breaks our brains a bit by revisiting the color purple and thinking about how strange it is that we can see it at all. Rachel then reels in the largest sunfish in the world and you won't believe how bit it can get.

This week Rachel kicks things off with a story about the amazingly fast growing invasive Japanese Knotweed. Our guest, Marika Bell then takes a fascinating look at how different animals perceive colors. Finally, Kirk rounds out the show describing a bizarre prehistoric fish that could cut you in half in less than the blink of an eye! We're all over the board this week and we couldn't be happier about it.

We have a ton of fun this week when Alicia Little returns to the show. Kirk kicks things off talking about living amongst real-life giants who are waging a war (no, really, he's serious), Alicia tells the amazing story of the unexpected natural source of the famous royal color purple and Rachel spins a tale of an entire ecosystem growing in the fur of a sloth.

We made it! This episode marks the end of year two of the podcast and the beginning of year three. Thanks for coming along for the ride. There have been almost 325 different topics on the show so far and we're not stopping. We are, however, taking a pause this week to bring back fan favorite naturalist Brett Sieberer. He takes over the show asking us bizarre questions and having us play games like Eat, Ride or Jacket. Here's your chance to get to know your hosts better. We resume regular programming next week. Thanks everyone!

Rachel kicks things off this week with a story about an animal that, and I'm quoting Rachel here, kills things by "Being Slowly sucked into the mouth of your Cousin." Confused? You'll just have to listen.

Victoria then tries to unravel the mystery of a degenerative brain disease that perhaps ties together, flying foxes, mystery toxins, seeds, war, human diets and even alzheimer's and ALS.

Kirk wraps things up this week by detailing the unsettling life cycle of the Guinea Worm parasite. Be forewarned, infecting humans and bursting out of them like an alien is part of the cycle.
