The Doctor is in! He may not be medical, but he is charming as all heck and he has a silly hat. Doctor Oz took time out of his busy schedule to discover more about the Molty Time Traveler. Other notable discoveries include: time travel (obvi), barber poles, and being immersed in other cultures. The Doctor's Siri also makes a special guest appearance. Most egregious error I'm aware of: I did a pretty poor job of explaining parthenogenesis. Science level: it's a extreme animal, so the science is quite high, but don't worry, get go well off topic a couple of times.

OBA Episode 7 - Devil Piss Sniffing Necker

Be eeeeasy friends. On Being Animals hosted the chillest, kindest, most genial person around town. Tom helps us discover the Devil Piss Sniffing Necker. Other notable discoveries include hanging off beds, openness to new experiences, and dealing with confrontations. He also busts out "portmanteau" and I totally pretended that I knew what that word meant. I know now, but I definitely didn't at the time. Most egregious error: When talking about DMT, I said "god particle" but I meant "spirit molecule". The "god particle" is Higgs Boson. I'm pretty sure HB affects the body differently than DMT. Science level: Not quite 100% science because we had some nice culture tangents, but a pretty high level.

OBA Bonus Episode 2 - Swelling Fringe Clicker

Download Episode! The list has been checked twice and y'all are just too nice! I'd like to share this gift with you and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Trish, who's sharp mind is eminently beyond compare, helped me discover the Swelling Fringe Clicker. Other notable discoveries include: ecosystem services, Hugh Jackman's back, and travelling alone as a single woman. Most egregious error: I talk about the "Mi'kmaw", which is how you pronounce Mi'kmaq, but I did not realize it at the time. So I was saying the correct word, but I was using it as though it was some other tribe. It's not. I was referring to Mi'kmaq which is properly pronounced meeg mah. Sorry for my ignorance, but this mistake has led me to more discoveries! Did you know that "ni'kmaq" actually means "my friends"? Early europeans misheard and misunderstood and then named the l'nuk people mi'kmaq. All sort of other neat history can be found here: http://www.muiniskw.org/pgCulture0.htm Science level: very high! Trish is so dang smart that she kept asking great, on topic questions.
