Episode 117 - 6 Degrees of Coolness (it doesn’t get much cooler than 6 degrees) - 1/4/26

Episode 117 is one of our favorite types: a delightful grab bag of random topics! There's a section all about trends: fashion trends in the chimp community, wellness trends among orca, trends in human coolness over the years; a section about food (talking mushrooms and bitter honey); why deaf people sneeze differently than hearing people; and, of course - chlamydia in koalas.
