A Parasitic Turduckin

As we ramp up toward Halloween things really start to get weird. Kirk makes us all queasy by talking about Bot flies that prey on humans. Rachel brings us the bizarre looking Monkey Slug Caterpillar and Victoria tells us all about Cockroaches. We had a ton of fun this week, we hope you do too. 

In retrospect you probably shouldn't go up against writers in a contest of who can keep doing something longer while not making any money.

Hello Everyone! This week's episode is hot off the audio press.

Rachel talks about a newly described species of crinoid from the deep waters of the southern ocean while Kirk talks about a study showing that the smell of fresh cut grass may actually be a cry for help.
