Episode 13 (Part 2): Otterly Crazy

In part 2 of this episode, Ellie tells Katie all about mountain goats (which are not actually goats). For some reason, Katie and Ellie get into a fight about Fahrenheit and Celsius. Ellie gets very confused and upset, and it goes on for a really, really long time. Email: [email protected]: @IntoxecologyInstagram: @IntoxecologyWebsite: intoxecology.com FIND US ON PATREON

This week, Ellie and Katie kick off the episode with some light-hearted talk about dog death. Katie then tells Ellie all about blue whales and their weird wannabe-teeth made out of fingernail stuff. Ellie introduces Katie to Clive, our resident skeleton in the wellington, and for some reason there is a lengthy discussion about ghosts. This episode has been split into 2 parts because Ellie and Katie have no concept of space or time. Lots of swearing and tangents, as always. Email: [email protected]: @intoxecologyInstagram: @intoxecologyWebsite: www.intoxecology.comPLEASE FIND US ON PATREON

We're BACK, and we're sorry for the hiatus; we'll never leave you again, we promise. In this episode, Ellie tells Katie all about the polar bear before Katie discusses the giant tube worm. For some reason, talking about polar bears leads to a lengthy discussion about Neanderthals and how Ellie has more Neanderthal DNA than the general populous. Also, if you brought a giant tube worm up to the surface, a polar bear could probably smell it from a mile away. Lots of swearing and tangents, as always. Website: intoxecology.comTwitter: @intoxecologyInstagram: @intoxecologyGmail: [email protected](Please) find us on Patreon!

This week, for the first time ever, Katie and Ellie struggle with their introductory ramblings. Katie then tells Ellie all about narwhals and their toothy horns, before Ellie talks about rats and how they help us in research and in plague-acquisition. Katie informs everyone about the plague pit in her in-laws back garden and Ellie makes one of her best puns yet. Lots of swear-words and tangents, as always. Apologies for Katie's audio at points, we thought we'd got the hang of this whole podcasting thing but apparently we have not.Website: www.intoxecology.comGmail: [email protected]: @intoxecologyTwitter: @intoxecologyFind Intoxecology on Patreon!

This week, Ellie and Katie welcome a very special guest, Ellen Weatherford (Just the Zoo of Us), to Intoxecology. Ellen gives us a rundown of an animal close to her heart – the pangolin – before telling us about our animal of the week, the Florida manatee (... it has fingernails!!). True to form, there are lots of tangents and swear-words. Expect discussions of Disneyworld, nipples, and, somehow, Happy Feet (again).Listen to Ellen on her much better podcast Just the Zoo of Us!Website: www.intoxecology.comGmail: [email protected]: @intoxecologyTwitter: @intoxecologyFind Intoxecology on Patreon (please!!)

This week, Katie and Ellie welcome friend and fellow podcaster, Sean Milnes (Fowl Mouths Podcast), to Intoxecology. Sean is a keen birder from Connecticut who's hopped on this week's episode to tell us all about the Fisher Cat (which is, to everyones surprise, not a bird, and also, somehow less surprisingly, not a cat either). Turns out, they're bigger than you think and could conceivably eat your baby if you leave it unsupervised in the woods. Lots of tangents and swear-words, as always.Check out Fowl Mouths Podcast on any and all streaming sites! Website: www.intoxecology.comEmail: [email protected]: @IntoxecologyInstagram: @IntoxecologyFind us on Patreon!

In this long-awaited episode (sorry!), Katie tells Ellie all about sea otters with their purple bones and built-in pockets. Very cute, but not if you're an abalone. Beans does a lot of barking, and Ellie realises that she's got faster hands than any otter could ever dream of. Lots of swearing and tangents, as always. Website: www.intoxecology.comEmail: [email protected]: @intoxecologyInstagram: @intoxecologyFind us on Patreon!

Episode 13 has been split into 2 parts because Katie and Ellie do not understand the concept of time. The hosts kick off the episode by, unsurprisingly, talking about things they have no business talking about - the stock market(?) and then Ellie tells Katie all about the domestic dog and the problem with pedigree breeds. This episode gets a little science-heavy as Ellie talks about inbreeding depression. As always, lots of swearing and tangents. And as always, we're sorry. Website: www.intoxecology.comEmail: [email protected]: @intoxecologyInstagram: @intoxecologyFind us on Patreon!

This week, Katie and Ellie kick off the episode by getting political (surprise, surprise) before Ellie shares some exciting news – she's going to be an auntie! Katie shares all there is to know about parrot fish and their sequential hermaphroditism before Ellie tackles the emperor penguin (no, not literally). Katie and Ellie also get into their first disagreement about the pros and cons of zoos. Somehow, they also manage to provide a full synopsis of The Princess and the Frog? Many tangents and swear words, as usual. Like always, we're sorry. Website: www.intoxecology.comEmail: [email protected]: @intoxecologyInstagram: @intoxecologyFind us on Patreon!

We welcome a very special guest and Intoxecology's own resident virologist, Tim Passchier (made famous by Episode 8: Tim's Three Critiques). Tim tells us about his work looking at how viral genomes are packaged, and grills Katie on why she personally cannot convert the US to the metric system. Tim then tells us about Pteropus bats and their role as viral reservoirs, before giving us a run-down of how the Coronavirus vaccine works and why we categorically should not be eating bats. Many, many tangents and lots of swearing.Email: [email protected]: www.intoxecology.comTwitter: @intoxecologyInstagram: @intoxecologyFind us on Patreon!
