Palaeocast

Last featured in the 06-24-2016 Scout Report, Palaeocast has continued to regularly release quality content exploring evolution and the history of life on this planet. Listeners can catch up with recent episodes on bats (Episode 130), penguins (Episode 129), and crocodiles (Episode 121/122). The award-winning podcast Palaeocast is "a free web series exploring the fossil record and the evolution of life on earth." Launched in 2012, the show now has more than 125 episodes. Installments range in length from about half an hour to an hour. Each episode introduces listeners to a range of paleontology-related topics and maintains factual integrity by "sourc[ing] all materials from professional academics, letting experts tell the story of their own research." For example, Episode 111, "Diversity in Palaeontology," features conversations with various scholars, reflecting on "some of the issues within our science and the ways they are being addressed." Episode 110, "The Fin-Limb Transition and Early Tetrapod Biodiversity," explores "the water-land transition." Episodes are organized on the page linked above by geologic era (Cenozoic, Mesozoic, Paleozoic, and Precambrian). Listeners can also find Palaeocast on Google Play, Stitcher, and other popular podcast platforms. The podcast is funded by the Palaeontological Association and the Paleontological Society. Listeners can also follow along on Twitter and Facebook (@palaeocast on both platforms).
