Ray and Dave talk with vertebrate paleontologist Melanie During, who read the growth rings in fossil fish from the Tanis site and pinned the death of the dinosaurs to a single spring, 66 million years ago.

What if the dinosaurs weren't just prehistoric animals—but biological vessels for something much older?In this episode of Free The Rabbits, Joel explores the connections between dinosaurs, the biblical Seraphim, fallen angels and the serpent traditions found throughout the ancient world. We dig into the Hebrew saraph, the Bible's mysterious “fiery flying serpents,” the strange descriptions of the pre-Eden serpent, and the possibility that certain creatures could have functioned as biological avatars for spiritual beings. Dragon Avatars Notes Dragon Avatars NotesThen the rabbit hole takes an unexpected turn into the Bone Wars—the ruthless 19th-century battle between Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh that helped shape modern paleontology and our understanding of dinosaurs. Their race for fossils was filled with rivalry, questionable tactics, rushed conclusions and infamous reconstruction mistakes. Dragon Avatars NotesFrom ancient dragon kingship and reptilian legends to dinosaur fossils and fallen-angel theology, this episode asks one central question:What exactly were the dragons of the ancient world—and have we been digging up their bones all along?Merchandise: https://freetherabbits.myshopify.comBuy Me A Coffee: DonateFollow: Website | Instagram | X | FacebookWatch: YouTube | RumbleEmail: freetherabbitspodcast@gmail.comDistributed by: merkel.mediaIntro Music:Joel Thomas – Free The RabbitsYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicOutro Music:Joel Thomas – Agartha w/ Quan DukeYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicTopics Discussed:Seraphim • Fiery Flying Serpents • Dragons • Dinosaurs • Fallen Angels • Pre-Adamic Earth • The Serpent of Eden • Nephilim • Reptilians • Draconians • Ancient Kingship • Dinosaur Brain Size • Avatar Theory • Sumerian King List • Edward Drinker Cope • Othniel Charles Marsh • The Bone Wars • Fossil Reconstructions • Ancient Dragon Traditions

We all know that dinosaurs invented chefs. But what did the first dinosaur chefs cook? Find out in today's new story. Written by Cameron, an 8 year old from Pennsylvania. 

What can dinosaur footprints tell us that bones can't? n this episode of Terrible Lizards, Iszi Lawrence and Dr Dave Hone talk to palaeontologist Brent Breithaupt about the science of trace fossils: the footprints, trackways, nests, bite marks and other evidence left behind by animals millions of years ago.  You can watch the episode on youtube here: https://youtu.be/puS0gkuTCHY Brent has spent decades studying dinosaur and pterosaur footprints, particularly in Wyoming, and was at the forefront of using photogrammetry to turn enormous fossil trackways into detailed 3D digital records. He explains how scientists can use footprints to investigate how dinosaurs moved, how fast they travelled, how large they were and even how they may have interacted with one another.

In this episode of The Long Game Podcast, Alex Birkett sits down with Benji Hyam and Devesh Khanal, co-founders of Grow and Convert, to separate what's real from what's noise in AI search optimization. Drawing on their work with 100+ brands and their own AI visibility tracking data, they challenge popular narratives around listicle penalties, Reddit citations, and one-size-fits-all GEO tactics.They discuss how personalization and context-rich prompts make AI search fundamentally different from Google, why long-form content is losing its role in the buyer's journey, and the rise of cold inbound leads who arrive with no prior connection to the brand. The conversation also covers why positioning, reputation, and on-site source material matter more than mass third-party mentions, why attribution is getting harder as marketing becomes multi-channel, and how brands need to rethink where they earn attention.Key TakeawaysSelf-promotional listicles are not penalized by default; the widely cited examples involved thousands of AI-generated pages with misleading claims, while human-written, category-relevant comparison content has stayed stable through Google updates.Aggregate citation studies overweight Reddit and Wikipedia because their datasets skew toward high-volume consumer queries, whereas Grow and Convert found 86% of citations for B2B buying prompts came from industry-specific sites.YouTube shows up in citations across B2B clients far more often than the industry discusses, making video a real opportunity for reaching buyers.Roughly 80% of sources cited by LLMs in Grow and Convert's research ranked in Google for ordinary keywords with search volume, which suggests SEO fundamentals still drive much of AI visibility.AI summaries strip out the differentiated arguments that used to win readers over, producing cold inbound leads who compare several vendors on deliverables and need to be educated on your point of view during the sales process.Personalization means the same prompt can return entirely different recommendations for different users, so prompt-tracking tools cannot capture many of the moments where a brand actually wins a lead.Positioning and voice-of-customer research are now root-level requirements, because content on topics outside your core category can weaken the brand associations LLMs form about you.Hyper-specific, pain-point content lets smaller brands beat incumbents in AI search, and there is no 301 redirect for LLMs, which makes rebrands, pivots, and reputation fixes much harder than in traditional SEO.Holding a defined experimentation budget with expected-value thinking keeps low-cost tests like FAQs separate from expensive bets like newsletter sponsorships that rarely justify their cost.Third-party mention strategies work best when they back into the specific topics and sites that influence your category, while strong on-site source material is both more persuasive and more defensible against inaccurate claims.Show LinksVisit Grow and ConvertConnect with Benji Hyam on LinkedInConnect with Devesh Khanal on LinkedInConnect with Alex Birkett on LinkedIn and TwitterConnect with Omniscient Digital on LinkedIn or TwitterDescriptionPast guests on The Long Game podcast include: Morgan Brown (Shopify), Ryan Law (Animalz), Dan Shure (Evolving SEO), Kaleigh Moore (freelancer), Eric Siu (Clickflow), Peep Laja (CXL), Chelsea Castle (Chili Piper), Tracey Wallace (Klaviyo), Tim Soulo (Ahrefs), Ryan McReady (Reforge), and many more.Some interviews you might enjoy and learn from:Actionable Tips and Secrets to SEO Strategy with Dan Shure (Evolving SEO)Building Competitive Marketing Content with Sam Chapman (Aprimo)How to Build the Right Data Workflow with Blake Burch (Shipyard)Data-Driven Thought Leadership with Alicia Johnston (Sprout Social)Purpose-Driven Leadership & Building a Content Team with Ty Magnin (UiPath)Also, check out our Kitchen Side series where we take you behind the scenes to see how the sausage is made at our agency:Blue Ocean vs Red Ocean SEOShould You Hire Writers or Subject Matter Experts?How Do Growth and Content Overlap?Connect with Omniscient Digital on social:Twitter: @beomniscientLinkedIn: Be OmniscientListen to more episodes of The Long Game podcast here: https://beomniscient.com/podcast/

An accidental Australian takeover of The Box of Oddities begins with Vegemite and somehow ends with a prehistoric mystery and a disappearance that only gets stranger. First, buried in ancient Australian rock are the delicate remains of a forest that vanished from the world millions of years ago. Scientists knew these trees only through fossils—until a park ranger climbed into a remote canyon and noticed something he couldn't explain. What he found would rewrite a small piece of botanical history and eventually trigger an extraordinary fight to keep something ancient from disappearing all over again. Then, 30-year-old Jessica Zarinsky leaves a Western Sydney pub with a man she's just met and vanishes. CCTV traces their journey toward the Blue Mountains, but eventually Jessica disappears from the cameras—and the man she was traveling with disappears too. Years later, investigators find him in one of the strangest places imaginable. But the discovery only deepens the mystery of what happened to Jessica. Two Australian stories. One survivor from an almost unimaginable past. One woman whose family is still waiting for answers. Also: wombat poop, penguin fences, Vegemite, and further evidence that Australia may be the most Box of Oddities place on Earth. The Box of Oddities — where the strange, bizarre, mysterious, and unexplained remind us that the world is much weirder than we think. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We're back (A Dinosaur's Story) to finish what we started and finally determine… who some of these animated characters are. After all, these should now be the better-known villains of the non-Disney bunch, right? And then, after we can clearly picture these individual antagonists, we'll do our best to argue who would win in a fight to the death. This will, of course, lead to a number of random side conversations, including a whole discussion about healthcare plans and a couple conspiracy theories. We may agree a lot at the beginning, but then we become sentient and corporeal, and the dark magic starts to take over and as we enter the sinister sixteen, evil eight, fearsome four, and final match-up.   Which non-Disney villain will come out victorious? Press play to find out.   Visit Baconsale.com to download the advanced version of this bracket.

Consider joining us on Patreon for early access to episodes, exclusive content, and the option to commission your own Doctor Who story. Show Notes: Nostalgia, Recorded at 5:45 in the Morning For their first dip into the 1990s Wilderness Years, John and Jim take on The Paradise of Death—the five-part BBC Radio serial that brought Jon Pertwee, Nicholas Courtney, and Elisabeth Sladen back together in 1993 for Doctor Who's 30th anniversary. It's a lavishly produced piece of nostalgia with everyone slipping effortlessly back into their roles, and Jim surprises himself by having far more to say about it than he expected. But it's also, both hosts agree, a real mixed bag—one that runs long enough to test even a devoted listener's attention. A Theme Park That Predicted the Future Space World, London's flashy new amusement park, runs on "ER"—Experienced Reality, a full-immersion virtual experience that the hosts note eerily anticipates where technology sits today. The opening episode earns near-universal praise from both hosts, complete with a sound effect for entering VR that somehow just works. From there, the story spirals out to an alien world, a corporation with sinister motives, gladiatorial games, and a plant with a very dark secret. When You Bring Back the Legends But Don't Give Them Much to Do Here's where the hosts wrestle with the production. Jon Pertwee shines and the female guest character, Onya, nearly steals the whole thing—but the Brigadier spends most of the story, as Jim dubs him, the "backseat Brig," and Sarah Jane is saddled with more victim duty (and with the widely loathed new photographer Jeremy Fitzoliver) than the fans would have liked. There's a debate about whether leaning on nostalgia alone is enough when the beloved characters aren't given real material, and a discussion of the ways Barry Letts's script reaches for a more "mature" register than classic TV Who ever did—some of it landing, some of it distinctly uncomfortable. A Continuity Snag Only a Barry Letts Could Introduce In a move that baffled fandom, the script stages a first-time introduction between two characters who had already met on screen. The hosts dig into exactly where and when that introduction really happened, why nobody in the room caught the error, and what it reveals about how much (or how little) oversight this side project got. There's a running argument that a Terrance Dicks-style continuity person could have saved the production from itself. Reverse the Polarity of the What Now? One creative choice genuinely sours Jim: the story pauses to deconstruct a certain beloved Third Doctor catchphrase, explaining away something that never needed explaining. It sparks a lively debate about which Doctor catchphrases should simply be left alone (Allons-y, my giddy aunt, brave heart) and whether taking the Mickey out of Pertwee's signature line crosses a line of its own. There's a happier callback later, too—a Venusian lullaby and a fondly remembered name from the Pertwee era that the hosts were delighted to hear. A Death That Actually Lands Amid the mixed feelings, the hosts single out a genuinely affecting moment of grief in the final episode—the kind of heartfelt reaction to a character's death that earlier Doctor Who so often skipped right past. It's a reminder of what the production gets right even as the hosts find their attention wandering through the sprawling later episodes. Production Details: Broadcast: BBC Radio 5, August 27 – September 24, 1993 (five 30-minute episodes) Writer: Barry Letts | Director: Phil Clark (who would return for the sequel) Starring: Jon Pertwee (the Doctor), Nicholas Courtney (Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart), Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane Smith), Jane Slavin (Onya) Villains: Harold Innocent (Freeth), Peter Miles (Tragan) Also Featuring: Maurice Denham (the President), Richard Pierce (Jeremy Fitzoliver), Jonathan Tafler (Captain Waldo Rudley) Title Music: Ron Grainer, arranged by Peter Howell; additional music by Peter Howell of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop Doctor Who Veterans in the Cast: Peter Miles (Dr. Lawrence in Doctor Who and the Silurians, Professor Whitaker in Invasion of the Dinosaurs, Nyder in Genesis of the Daleks), Maurice Denham (Professor Edgeworth in The Twin Dilemma), and more Context: Produced to give Doctor Who a presence for its 30th anniversary, alongside the success of the Virgin novels; the sequel The Ghosts of N-Space would air in 1996, shortly before Pertwee's death Novelization: By Barry Letts (a faithful transcription with little added) Key Discussion Points: Why the first episode is the strongest and how VR/ER anticipates modern technology The "backseat Brig" problem and Sarah Jane's reduced role The uselessness of Jeremy Fitzoliver The baffling on-air "introduction" of two characters who'd already met The more mature/edgy touches (the death penalty debate, Tragan's menace, political commentary) and whether they belong The decision to deconstruct a classic Pertwee catchphrase Which Doctor catchphrases should be left untouched Why even the biggest names (Barry Letts, Stephen King) still need an editor Could this have been a story for a different Doctor and companion team? The heartfelt handling of a character death in the finale Coming Up Next (Patreon): Monday (Patreon Exclusive 182): Music, the Memory TARDIS wheel, and two single-part Doctor Who Magazine comics—"A Glitch in Time" and "Evening's Empire" (though there's a tale behind that second one). Wednesday (Main Feed): Shada—already available here on the Patreon feed, now shared with the main feed to mark its VHS-era timing. Friday (Patreon): Dimensions in Time—the Children in Need multi-Doctor special. Jim finally sees what all the fuss is about, with guest podcaster JB Anderton joining the discussion.

Three MicroTerrors listeners wrote in with their own scary stories: a girl who sneaks out at night to see the T-Rex every parent in town warns about, a free doll on the sidewalk that introduces itself as Mr. Stevenson, and a family cruise with nothing but one-star reviews and something big moving under the boat.Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Casper Kelly might be most famous for his this-shouldn't-be-so-creepy comedy short "Too Many Cooks." Now he's got his feature directorial debut on his hands (but don't sleep on Yule Log 2, according to Alonso), and It's Buddy, a comedy horror that owes a debt of gratitude to the insistent cheerfulness of Barney the Dinosaur. We'll get into all that, and then talk about some of our favorite times TV crossed over onto the big screens.What's Good:Alonso: kouign amannDrea: Minnesota State FairKevin: Costco beltITIDIC• Summer U.S. Box Office Hits All-Time $4.76B Record: How Audiences Surrendered To Moviegoing• Telluride's Top-Secret Film Was a Documentary and people are abuzz (You Can See Everything, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's Elizabeth Holmes doc)Staff Picks:Alonso: We Are PatDrea: Oasis: Don't Look Back in AngerKevin: Colony (Gunche) Help support this show and unlock bonus content!
