    The science, information, production quality, and interaction between the Iszi and David (and their guests) is top notch.

    Also, the ability to dig deeper into the subject matter and read the linked papers in the show notes? ::CHEFS KISS::

    Terrible Lizards is a total gem. I’ve been binging it nonstop ever since. It’s so good it actually turned me in... more
