Award-winning GPNC science communicators talk about sex, alcohol abuse, anatomy, violence, and other R-rated tales from the adult side of nature. This podcast embraces the incredible, gruesome, and fascinating sides of nature that we don’t get to talk about with all audiences.
Explicit content not suitable for everyone.
Millions of years of dangerous co-dependence, betrayed with diabolical precision. This is the story of figs, their wasps, the wasps' wasps, and Lyndzee & Rachel's descent into isolation-related madness.

S1E14 -Dinosaur Sex
The title says it all, but this episode has everything Rachel loves: phylogeny, prehistoric Kansas, evolution, physiology, and (duh) dinosaurs--but all through the lens of the evolutionary history of copulation through penises. Duck penises are even cooler than you thought. Here's what we know about dinosaur sex.

S1E13 -Flying While Intoxicated
From drunk birds to alcohol stealing monkeys, we debunk a common myth and practice our drunk whale calls. Grab a drink, this is the last (for now) alcohol episode, and it's about to get sloshy.

S1E11 -Mucho Masturbation
An ultra-caffeinated, glancing look at the different styles of masturbation in the animal world and the species that engage in these non-reproductive sexual behaviors. We took a break from the deep dives and upped the caffeine. Forgive us.

S1E10 -Slurred Echolocation
A bat walks into a bar and says, "can I get a fruit cocktail?"
We're back with another one of Lyndzee's "prairie dog tunnels," this one leads to fruit bats. Fruit bats getting (or not getting) drunk on rotting fruit. It's a shorty but a goody, so grab yourself some mulberry wine and let's get batty.

S1E9 -No Boys Allowed
All-female animal species bring to question the advantages of sex, but some all-female species reveal the importance of sex, even when no males exist at all. So what's the point of sex? Rachel removes males from the equation to discuss these big questions on this week's episode. PS: Sorry in advance for all of the genetics. :P

S1E8 -Nature's Beer Stein
Humans aren't the only mammals out there getting sloshed in the woods. Lyndzee dives into one of nature's most successful breweries and how one species of small mammal avoids getting a CWI (climbing while intoxicated) after lapping up too much of the libation.
