Ep. 90: Devils of Tasmania
Friday Oct 16, 2020
Friday Oct 16, 2020
This week we look into the very strange and bizarre animal known as the Tasmanian devil. This is the most iconic animal and thing to come out of the Australian state of Tasmania. A lot of people don't know where Tasmania is, but definitely a part of Australia. Some don't even know the devils are a real animal. They certainly are. The devils are actually the largest living carnivorous marsupials in the world. But, they really aren't very big, only the size of a small dog. They get their name from the loud devil like sounds they make when feeding and mating. We dive into some of their history, facts about them and also go over the devils in pop-culture.

Ep. 89: Night of the Grizzlies Part 2
Saturday Sep 26, 2020
Saturday Sep 26, 2020
This week we have part two of the famous true crime like story, Night of the Grizzlies. We jump right into where we left off with both of our attack stories. We find out what goes down during the attack at Trout Lake on Michele Koons. We also find out what happens at the Granite Park Chalet where the first bear attack took place. We will meet a cast of characters from both stories. Unfortunately, both stories do end in the gruesome deaths of two 19 year old women. These are sad, but thrilling stories. The aftermath of what happened on this night greatly changed the way grizzly bears are now managed. After this night no longer were people allowed to feed bears. Nowadays we try to keep away from bears as much as possible, a lot of the reason is from this night. It still remains a mystery why on one night two bears attacked two different women. Coincidence?... Seems like it.

Ep. 88: Night of the Grizzlies Part 1
Monday Sep 14, 2020
Monday Sep 14, 2020
This week, we have one of the best true crime stories involving animals... This is Night of the Grizzlies. We go back in time to 1967, to Glacier National Park. Back then rules for bears were pretty lax, to say the least. Tourists would come from all over to watch grizzlies battle for the best garbage. From when the park was founded in 1910 there had never been a fatal grizzly attack. But on one fateful night it all changes... There are two different grizzly bear attacks just hours apart and a few miles away, both from different bears, and both lead to the death of two 19 year old women. Its a crazy story. We also learn a bit about Glacier National Park and 1967. This is only part one... There may be a cliffhanger.

Ep. 87: Shark Attack Stories #2
Saturday Aug 22, 2020
Saturday Aug 22, 2020
This week we go to the ocean and cover attack stories from one of mans most fearful predators... sharks. These are stories that have all happened in the last few months and most actually take place Down Under, in Australia. For some reason there has been a surge of shark attacks there as well as 4 recent deaths, we cover them all. We also are joined by a special guest Dayna Bodtcher, she is an avid shark lover and related to both hosts. Dayna and Dave both provide their own stories. And we end on the very first shark fatality in the state of Maine.

Saturday Jul 18, 2020
This week we celebrate our 2nd anniversary episode. After two whole years doing the show we really love doing it and a big thank you to all the listeners who support us. We have some new stupid idiots of Yellowstone stories that involve sneaking into the closed park and falling into a thermal pool and people who get too close to wild, dangerous bison. Then we go over which insects have the most painful stings. Spoiler... it's the bullet ant. There are four levels of pain with four being the worst. Then we talk about a plant that if you get stung by it you may commit suicide because the pain is just too much. Then we end the episode with a few listener stories.

Ep. 83: Invasive Species Part 1
Thursday Jun 18, 2020
Thursday Jun 18, 2020
This week we take a look at some species that do not belong. An invasive species is an organism that is not native to a particular area. They can cause great environmental and economic harm to the new area. To be invasive, a species must adapt to the new area easily. It must reproduce quickly. It must harm property, the economy or native plants and animals of the region. Many invasive species are introduced to a new region accidentally, while others are brought on purpose.
1st Story- Japanese Murder Hornets in North America
2nd Story- Pablo Escobar's Cocaine Hippos
3rd Story- Snakes Take Over Guam
4th Story- Pesky Rabbits in Australia
5th Story- Carpocalypse
