  • 9. Otosclerosis
    Feb 20 2023

    We’re going into ear anatomy and medical shiz today! Otosclerosis is a condition caused by abnormal bone remodeling in the middle ear. The main symptom is hearing loss, but we'll let Jess speak more to that.... ya know, since she actually has the ding-dang condition!

  • 7.3 Sue the Trex! [Holiday Special]
    Dec 28 2022

    Dina-Sawas!! We both grew up loving dinosaurs and Jess personally had a couple of books that were about Sue the T-rex. This 3-part holiday special has a little something for everyone: Paleontology, American and Native American history, legal battles, and (allegedly) McDonald's diabolical plot to engineer dinosaurs for super production of chickn' nuggies.

    House keeping - This will be our last episode of the year, and we're planning on taking off the month of January for some R&R. We're planning to be back by Feb. 6th at the latest, but hopefully sooner.

    A happiest of holidays to everyone, and as always... Thanks for your time. The dog hair is free!
