What would a battle royale of 16 Ceratopsians look like? Jared Heuck, Fossil Preparator of the Raymond Alf Museum of Paleontology helps us understand the Mesozoic Era, better known as the Age of the Dinosaurs. And though he thinks we should NOT bring back a T-rex, a la "Jurassic Park," if we did, he wouldn't mind seeing a grudge match between 16 of the most awesome Ceratopsians ever assembled in one place. In addition to this incredible interview, we also break down our song "Rockin' the Mesozoic," a musical adventure that travels deep into the Age of the Dinosaurs. Onward!!!

Rockin' the Mesozoic with Jared Heuck

Kirk Johnson, director of the Smithsonian Natural History Museum in Washington D.C., paleobotanist, author and science communicator extraordinaire, helps us understand the worst day in the history of Earth: the day an asteroid slammed into the Yucatan Peninsula and wiped out the dinosaurs. We also break down our song "Chicxulub," a chipper-sounding tune about the site of that asteroid strike. It's the perfect Halloween episode for the science-minded.

Mass Extinction with Kirk Johnson

In the 1950s, when Marie Tharp mapped the ocean floor and noticed what appeared to be a rift valley at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, her idea was ridiculed by a male colleague as "girl talk". But nowadays that rift valley is evidence that Earth's crust is in constant motion, resulting in earthquakes, volcanoes, and continental drift. Author Hali Felt, whose book Soundings details the life and work of Marie Tharp, talks with us about the process of writing such a fun and engaging book when people know so little about its subject. We also break down our song "Girl Talk," a funky tune about Marie's amazing discovery.
