• 298: Katie Goldin's 3 Weirdest Shark Facts!

  Join Ellen & returning guest, science communicator and comedy writer Katie Goldin, for a roundup of her 3 weirdest facts about sharks. We discuss cage-free uranium, possible mermaid configurations, why sometimes people poop themselves when they’re scared, how fomo can conquer phobia, eye teeth, and so much more. Heads up: part of this episode’s conversation is about cocaine. When it comes up I will have edited in some guidance for skipping ahead for anyone who might not find that suitable. As always, there’s no profanity or anything graphic, but it is a topic of discussion.Links:Listen to Katie's podcast, Secretly Incredibly Fascinating!Listen to Katie's other podcast, Creature Feature!Follow Katie on BlueSky!For more information about us & our podcast, head over to our website!Follow Just the Zoo of Us on BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram & Discord!Follow Ellen on BlueSky!
