The Spinal Frontier S01 E01: What's up with Ferengi ears?

Our premiere episode focuses on the topic that started it all: what is up with Ferengi ears? Kelley and Eryn talk about bats, elephants, radiators, sexual selection, neutral mutations, and the Cold Swamp versus Hot Swamp controversy. We hope you subscribe and listen every second and fourth Friday… it’s probably not going to get any less weird, though, so buckle up!
