If you've ever wondered whether humanity can adapt to a changing climate, the fossil record offers surprising reasons for hope. Paleontologist Evan Jevnikar, author of Surviving Climate and Chaos explores how dinosaurs endured millions of years of environmental upheaval, and what their story can teach us about shaping our own future.
Dinosaurs: you love 'em. Tycoon games: you love 'em! Mash those two together, and you have a delightful peanut-butter-and-chocolate-like combination that is Parkasaurus. Under the bright and whimsical presentation lies a deep park builder with sci-fi twists and endless opportunities to build your dream Jurassic destination. While the title has been out for a few years on Switch and Steam, we partnered with Washbear Studio to bring the title to current-gen consoles with all DLC in tow. Joining me to discuss all things Parkasaurus are Washbear Studio co-founder Chris McQuinn and Atari producer Kay Bell. We go through the origins of the title, the many systems, and, of course, a quick round of trivia.

1207. This week, we look at the hidden linguistic history of Ontario with Sali Tagliamonte. We look at why euphemisms like "golly" and "gosh" are going the way of the dinosaur, the surprising connection between Northern Ontario and the Southern U.S., and how Canadian words like "gas bar" and "Muskoka chair" finally made it into the Oxford English Dictionary.

Is it possible that some mythological creatures that ancient people spoke of were inspired by the fossil bones of extinct animals? Leah, one of our discord members, joins us to talk about an interesting theory that the mythological Griffin may have had it's origins in ancient gold miners discovering the fossil bones of a dinosaur called Protoceratops.

Here's an interesting fact: Dinosaurs dominated Earth for 165 million years – and they assumed they always would.Which brings us to… well, us. We bipedal, far-ranging, Homo sapien primates have certainly established our dominance over modern-day Mother Earth. And even though our reign has only lasted about 200,000 years, we 21st Century humans grandly assume that we're ordained by the gods to rule ad infinitum over our planet (and beyond).But – oops! – unfortunately we've based our preeminence on the unsustainable consumption of our domain, rather than on stewardship for the ages. Under the global misguidance of corporate, political, religious, academic, and other Powers That Be, our large-brained species has ended up making an awful mess of the nest we inherited. Elite plunderers and profiteers have imposed an ethic of greed, inequality, and even inhumanity that is devouring everything from Earth's climate to our basic human values of fairness and justice.Leading this careless assault is a clique of arrogant and abusive high-tech gabillionaires who consider themselves geniuses because, well… they're rich! Consider Elon Musk, presently the richest of the world's richest, who postures as an uber-brained deep thinker, social engineer, and whirling corporate dervish. He presently runs not one, but three mega-corps (Tesla, X, and SpaceX) while also rewriting the rules of free speech, telling American's how to vote, and claiming he'll save humanity by colonizing Mars.But wait – strip away the hype, and Musk is just another self-serving plutocratic ravager, a cartoonish robber baron whose “genius” lies in (1) taking credit (and profit) from other people, (2) demanding subsidies and special breaks from government, (3) cheating workers and customers, and (4) suing everyone for his failures.If billionaire humanoids like Elon really wanted to save us from extinction, they should do the honorable thing… by going first.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Should dinosaur fossils belong in museums—or can they be bought and sold like works of art? When the spectacular Tyrannosaurus rex known as "Gus" was preparing to go under the hammer (and has since sold for a staggering $50 million), it reignited one of palaeontology's biggest ethical debates. In this episode Dr Dave Hone and Iszi Lawrence explore the booming fossil market and ask what happens when scientifically important specimens disappear into private collections. Is it wrong for billionaires to own dinosaurs? Can privately owned fossils still contribute to science? And why won't many scientific journals publish research based on privately owned specimens? Dave draws on his own experience working with museums, private collectors and commercial fossil dealers to explain the surprisingly complicated relationship between science, money and ownership. We discuss museums, fossil laws, famous auction sales, and why a dinosaur's scientific value isn't always the same as its auction price. Questions covered in this episode: Should dinosaur fossils be sold at auction? Why won't scientists study many privately owned fossils? Is it ethical for billionaires to own dinosaur skeletons? How do fossil auctions affect palaeontology? Could private ownership ever benefit science? Why are some fossils worth tens of millions of dollars?

What would you do... if you had the power of a young Denise Richards & Paul Walker, mixed in with some raunchy humor, B-movie horror gore, a robotic dinosaur on loan and a lion? Well with a short production window, you too could harness the magic of the 1990s B-movie wonder known as Tammy and the T-Rex, or Tanny and the Teenage T-Rex. It's an absolute master class in cinematic unpredictability and WTF-ness. From the director of Mac and Me, comes a family friendly teen romance about a girl named Tammy, or Tanny..., who has a possessive NOT-boyfriend named Billy, who is in love with a better boy named Michael, who turns out, gets his brain transplanted into an animatronic Tyrannosaurus Rex. Who would have thought! You will never know what the next scene holds in this truly unhinged film.Thanks for tuning in.

Dinosaur bones have become one of the world's most expensive collector's items, with some selling for tens of millions of dollars at auction. A Tyrannosaurus rex fossil recently sold for $50 million, making it the most expensive dinosaur ever auctioned. Some celebrities, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe, have their own private collections. So why are the ultra wealthy spending so much money on dinosaur bones, and what does it mean for science?We speak to BBC Climate and Science journalist Esme Stallard about why they have become so valuable, who is buying them, and why many scientists are concerned about private ownership. We also hear from Professor Steve Brusatte, a palaeontologist at the University of Edinburgh and consultant on the Jurassic Park films, about why these ancient fossils matter and the growing debate over who should really own them.Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producer: Adam Chowdhury, William Lee Adams and Emma-Louise Amanshia Video producer: Baldeep Chahal Editor: Emily Horler

Chuck Jones is given a lot of the blame for Daffy Duck's personality shifting over the years, and I don't think it's entirely fair to lay that all upon his shoulders. That said, he is PART of the equation, and we see some signs of what Daffy would become even in this very first cartoon directed by Jones that features him. So okay, sure, it's got historical value, but is it any good for a modern viewer? Let's find out!

Emily's been waiting years to make us do this one — and with Sam Neill's passing this year, we're honouring him by unpacking his greatest role. Thirty-three years on, we're revisiting the original Jurassic Park and getting into the one decision Spielberg made that keeps it from feeling dated, even as every CGI-heavy reboot has failed to come close.We're also spiralling over the behind-the-scenes bombshell that he didn't even want to direct this — and the wild deal that got it made while he was editing another masterpiece on the other side of the world. Plus our completely unhinged case that Jurassic Park is secretly a feminist manifesto, from the all-female dinosaurs to why the velociraptors are the real heroines.It's nostalgic, it's chaotic, and yes — Emily cried over a fictional dinosaur.TAKE THE SPILL QUIZ HERERemember The Spill drops the tea twice a day in this feed so follow us for all the latest entertainment news… OR you can WATCH our show in full length video on the Apple Podcast app - make sure your phone is up to date and enjoy the watch!

A major Space Mountain refurbishment may be under consideration at Walt Disney World, and the rumor has Disney fans wondering how much of the classic attraction could change. Lauren and Eric break down reports of a possible retrack, redesigned queue and loading areas, updated ride vehicles, and new audio. They also discuss what an extended closure could mean for the PeopleMover and the larger future of Tomorrowland. Then, inspired by Space Mountain's notoriously rough ride, they compare the Disney attractions most likely to leave guests sore, dizzy, or searching for a chiropractor. HIGHLIGHTS • The latest rumor surrounding a major Space Mountain refurbishment at Walt Disney World. • What a possible retrack, redesigned queue, updated vehicles, and new audio could mean for the attraction. • Why fans want Disney to preserve Space Mountain's music, atmosphere, and classic Tomorrowland identity. • How an extended Space Mountain closure could affect the PeopleMover. • Whether Disney could add Star Wars, WALL-E, or another intellectual property to the ride. • Space Mountain, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Dinosaur, and Goofy's Sky School compete for Disney's roughest ride. • Mission: SPACE, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Smugglers Run, and Summit Plummet also earn painful reputations.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 23, 2026 is: maverick MAV-rik noun Maverick refers to a person who refuses to follow the customs or rules of a group; in other words, a nonconformist. // Ayo has always been a bit of a maverick in the fashion world, inventing new trends rather than following them. See the entry > Examples: “[Luis] Alvarez has been described as a scientific Indiana Jones, but his reputation as a maverick was built on a foundation of patience and discipline.” — Alec Nevala-Lee, Collisions: A Physicist's Journey from Hiroshima to the Death of the Dinosaurs, 2025 Did you know? When a client gave Samuel A. Maverick 400 cattle to settle a $1,200 debt, the 19th-century south Texas lawyer had no use for them, so he left the cattle unbranded and allowed them to roam freely (supposedly under the supervision of one of his employees). Neighboring stockmen recognized their opportunity and seized it, branding and herding the stray cattle as their own. Maverick eventually recognized the folly of the situation and sold what was left of his depleted herd, but not before his name became synonymous with such unbranded livestock. By the end of the 19th century, the term maverick was being used to refer to individuals who prefer, like cattle left to their own devices, to blaze their own trails.

Try to imagine a world without birds. It's quite a challenge, given that we share the planet with tens of billions of birds spanning an astonishing 14,000 species. Birds find homes nearly everywhere that people do – and many places we do not – and their prowess and plumage have captivated human imagination throughout the ages. But impressive aerial feats and collective choirs of song aside, part of our fascination with birds is rooted in the awe of something so delicate and strange. How did such seemingly fragile creatures made of hollow bones and downy feathers break the mold of terrestrial life and survive millennia? In his newest book, The Story of Birds: A New History, from Their Dinosaur Origins to the Present, esteemed paleontologist Steve Brusatte embarks on a deep dive through the history of avian evolution. The Story of Birds begins by exploring how dinosaurs gradually developed the trademark features of birds one-by-one—feathers, wings, beaks, big brains, keen senses, and warm-blooded metabolisms. Brusatte investigates how these features contributed to birds emerging as the only surviving dinosaurs of the cataclysmic asteroid impact 66 million years ago, and how their numbers soared to new heights of diversity in the barren landscape that followed. Along this journey through time, meet extraordinary extinct species like the 1.5-ton elephant birds of Madagascar, giant Pelagornithid seabirds with 20-foot wingspans, and flightless 10-foot-tall terror birds with beaks that sliced flesh. Brusatte follows these remarkable species all the way down to the present, urging readers to share the same appreciation for the many impressive birds of today– penguins that literally fly underwater, parrots that can mimic human speech, and hummingbirds that hover mid-air and dive at 50 miles per hour. Presented with keen research and soaring enthusiasm, The Story of Birds unearths the unique origins of birds and the legacy they continue to live to this day. Steve Brusatte, PhD, is an American paleontologist who teaches at the University of Edinburgh, in Scotland. He is the author of the international bestseller The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs and The Rise and Reign of the Mammals. The paleontology advisor on the Jurassic World film franchise, Brusatte has named more than fifteen new species, including the tyrannosaur "Pinocchio rex" (Qianzhousaurus), the raptor Zhenyuanlong, and several ancient mammals. His research and writing has been featured in Science, the New York Times, Scientific American, and many other publications. David B. Williams is an author and naturalist whose award-winning books include Homewaters: A Human and Natural History of Puget Sound and Too High and Too Steep: Reshaping Seattle's Topography, as well as co-authoring Spirit Whales and Sloth Tales: Fossils of Washington State.

In this slightly-delayed-by-the-heatwave episode, Gemma, Marc and Natee finally get around to discussing some of the best-known and most widely reproduced and copied palaeoart of all time – Neave Parker's monochrome saurians as published in the Natural History Museum (or rather, British Museum (Natural History))'s 1960s book entitled Dinosaurs. Then, Marc interviews American artist and author Timothy J Bradley on a career that encompasses Dinamation (see episode 49), toy design for Hasbro and literally hundreds of illustrations for the Jurassic Park Institute Dinopedia, as well as more recent forays into the world of children's books. In addition to having a highly distinctive, vibrant art style, he's responsible for perhaps the most coveted unreleased Jurassic Park toy…which is saying something. Show Notes on Chasmosaurs.com!
Deep in the highlands of Papua, a glowing stone appears in their village. The Wano call it the Delima. It moves on its own. It vanishes from your hand. And it has to choose you before you can claim it with your own blood. The brothers grew up chasing this legend, and what their friends witnessed on that mountainside still has no explanation. Is it an undiscovered piece of creation or something darker wearing a beautiful disguise?Then the conversation turns to giants. The Wano tell of the Flying Wano, a towering race born from a strange ancestor whose body would not burn. The tribe feared them, gathered them at a feast, and set the house on fire. Their bones are still preserved in a cave, and the brothers' best friend has seen them with his own eyes. Add in a mysterious iron shaft buried where metal should not exist, giant handprints on impossible cliffs, and a 21-foot lizard called the Baludok that charged a missionary helicopter, and you have one of the wildest conversations we've ever had on this show.

In this warm and wide-ranging episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes two powerhouse creators whose books are perfect for sparking big feelings, big questions, and big laughs. First, Jessica Khoury joins us to celebrate her middle grade fantasy Monster and Apprentice. She introduces us to Roland, a 13-year-old boy who's been written off by almost every adult in his life—until the mysterious Arcanist takes him on as an apprentice monster hunter. In Roland's world, monsters are born from secrets kids hold too long—shameful, scary, or painful truths that grow teeth and claws when they're kept in the dark. Jessica shares how her grandparents' long legacy of fostering children inspired the emotional heart of the story, and how Roland arrived in her imagination fully formed—so vividly that she wrote half the book in one weekend. She also talks about reading aloud with her own reluctant-reader daughter, and how communal reading can build confidence, empathy, and deep family bonds. Then Joan Holub stops by to celebrate her hilarious new graphic novel Fart Boy and Reeky Dog: Dino Doom. Set during a school sleepover at a museum, one epic stink blast brings dinosaur skeletons roaring back to life. Joan talks about using humor, farts, and dino-chaos to hook reluctant readers, why graphic novels are such a powerful doorway into reading, and how her own childhood read-aloud memories shaped her career as the author of over 200 books for kids. Throughout, Jed threads everything back to the show's mission: helping families grow closer through reading together.
Today we're discussing Dinosaur Jr's first album, You're Living All Over Me. Released in 1987 on SST records, You're Living All Over Me is one of the most beloved rock albums of all-time and largely responsible for the formation of alt rock, indie, and shoegaze. Here, J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph crafted some of the most original and impassioned rock, with no shortage of hooks, as well as ear-piercing chaos.

What do dinosaur fossils, Bubble Wrap, Super Soakers, Viagra, and Bob Ross have in common? More than you'd think. In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Jethro introduces the astonishing true story of Baron Franz Nopcsa—the eccentric Hungarian aristocrat who transformed himself into one of history's most visionary paleontologists. Decades before mainstream science caught up, he proposed that some dinosaurs were warm-blooded, cared for their young, and evolved through island dwarfism. But his remarkable life didn't stop there. Nopcsa also became an explorer, linguist, spy, and even launched a serious bid to become King of Albania. His extraordinary achievements, however, are overshadowed by one of the most tragic endings imaginable. Then Kat lightens the mood with a celebration of history's greatest happy accidents. Discover how forgotten experiments and unexpected mistakes gave us saccharin, Bubble Wrap, the Super Soaker, and even Viagra—proving that some of humanity's biggest breakthroughs happened because someone was curious enough to ask, "What else could this be?" It's an episode filled with brilliant minds, bizarre history, accidental inventions, dark twists, and the wonderfully unexpected. In this episode: * Baron Franz Nopcsa and the dinosaurs that changed science * The scientist who wanted to become King of Albania * Paleontology, espionage, and eccentric genius * The tragic final chapter of Franz Nopcsa's life * The accidental invention of saccharin * How Bubble Wrap went from failed wallpaper to shipping legend * The surprising origin of the Super Soaker * Why Viagra was originally developed for heart disease * Bob Ross, happy accidents, and the value of unexpected discoveries If you love strange history, forgotten inventors, scientific oddities, accidental discoveries, and true stories that are stranger than fiction, this episode belongs in your queue.
