Seaslugs and Dinos 2: The topics strike back

In the last episode of series one, we have a returning topic and a returning guest! In the first half we return back to sea slugs and how they steal more things and do plant cosplay. And in the second half Stu Popp tells me about dinosaurs and their popular misconceptions, with a very important PSA about how to survive a velociraptor attack. 

See you soon for series two!
