Calming Facts

S1 E29: For all of you who wished my episodes were longer, this is for you! This calming monologue is a collection of all 5 dinosaur episodes back to back, for 50 minutes of pure dinosaurs. I hope you like it! It's interesting to hear how my recording has improved with time too - the Triassic episode was the 4th episode I ever released and is noticeably not so well recorded. You can also hear that I recorded Cretaceous part 1 in a room with echo - never again! I hope you enjoy this super long episode.
