500 to 1500 AD, that is the middle ages...a time of knights and princesses and kings and warfare. A time of leech medicine and medieval tournaments. A lot of weird stuff happened in the middle ages, so today we separate the wheat from the chaff from the scythe from the peasant and talk about the best inventions of medieval times.

Seven percent of the planet is covered by wetlands...wetlands that are unfortunately dissapering three times faster than forests, these amazing places are comparable to rain forests and coral reefs in their biodiversity and importance to the ecology of our planet. today we take a look at swamps, bogs, wetlands, swampy bogs, peaty fens, marshy meadows and everything in between.

Cats are the other house pet that people have, they are stinky, mean and solitary little beasts that poop in litter boxes...why are they a little nasty? we'll its because they come from mostly solitary carnivorous bigger kitties. These big wild cats, and we hope that they remain wild and roaming, are some of the coolest animals to study because of their beauty and diversity so today we take a deeper look at some species of big cats

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.
