Welcome to the first episode of Season 1 of the SauraPODcast.  Today's episode kicks off a five-episode watch alongside the "Ancient Earth" series from Curiosity Stream.  This series covers the five major extinction events and what the world was like before and after them.   So please join us and queue up the episode as we discuss.  

Oh boy this one is definitely late, but here is my very first attempt recording everything as well as my last time visiting SVP in Brisbane Australia.  This is the final episode of the season 0 series so why not end it in true geology fashion with the oldest on the bottom of the run.  

Can you fly you sucker?! Join the SauraPODcast as we look at B-Movie Classic Tremors.  This is one of our guilty pleasures, especially me and guest Kat Jordan.  So come up with a plan, rig some dynamite, and make sure you don't break into the wrong goddamn rec room and watch along as myself, Devra, Ph.D. candidate Kat Jordan and her fiance Aaron Burmeister riff on Tremors. 

Come join us on our inaugural Movie Riffs series, where we look at movies and films that center around Earth Sciences, Sciences, Paleontology and all matters of the natural world and give our real-time reactions and riffs to well known and obscure movies.  In this first episode I along with my co-host PhD candidate Devra Hock are joined by PhD candidate Kat Jordan, her fiance Aaron Burmeister, and Atmospheric Science Master's student Adrianne Engel delve into 1996's Twister.  We aren't in Kansas anymore Dorthy!

Welcome to the SauraPODcast! On this first upload of Retro Podcasts, which will be titled Season 0, that were recorded as I started up my various channels (it may have taken longer than originally anticipated).  Join me, Zach Reid, and Ph.D. Candidate Devra Hock as we introduce ourselves and give an in-depth look as to why we are in the field we are in and what inspires us as we wade through this weird and wonderful world of Paleontology. 

Join Me and my guests, University of Nebraska Ph.D. candidate Devra Hock and Dr. Melina Luethje join me for a discussion about digital literacy from an institutional and informal perspective.  We go over the pitfalls of misinformation, the influences, and influencers behind it, and what techniques and approaches both those within and around education can do, as well as those in the general public, to combat misinformation and scientific illiteracy online.
