Although we’re not strictly Canadian, you do get to hear from one a Canadians pretty frequently (yes, that’s me, Liz), and we have actually had a surprising number of Canadian episodes over the years. Of course Canada is well known for it’s palaeontology, and for this reason (or the fact that Liz is biased), we do a lot of Canadian content. We’ve interviewed a number of Canadian palaeontologists, or researchers from Canadian institutions, or about Canadian fossils or localities, which we’ve posted some images from below.
