Take away a pocket full of science knowledge and charming, bizarre stories about what fuels these professional -ologists' obsessions.

Smologies #2: DINOSAURS with Paleontologist Michael Habib
Yes, a double dose of short, all-ages episodes to launch Smologies! We cleaned up the full version and polished it into a safe-for-work digest of dinosaur facts and tales from a paleontologist with Dr. Michael Habib. Learn about the economics of a dino dig, his favorite beasts, cloning from amber samples, which museum dinos are real vs. fakes, Jurassic Park flimflam and more. (And for the full version with NSFW stories, the link is below.)
New full-length episodes of Ologies drop Tuesdays, and new Smologies come out every other Thursday.
