  • Summary

  • It’s only in the last decade that palaeontologists have finally agreed on the events that led to the demise of (most of) the dinosaurs - a huge asteroid strike in what we now know as the Yucatan Peninsular in Mexico.

    Ben presents the evidence built up over the last 40 years. He also learns why birds might have been spared and what the fall of the dinosaurs meant for today’s most dominant group - the mammals.

An amazing history lesson

I was captivated by this telling of the history of dinosaurs. The author includes many specialists in their field to add detail and believability. I found myself pausing just long enough to look up pictures and take notes. Wish all Professors could do this good a job. Plan to relisten multiple times!!

Fantastic!

Who knew that dinosaur science had changed so much in the last 30 years? An engaging, tightly written, and information-packed production.

Fun and educational

I’m not dinosaur crazy, but this was entertaining and educational. Sound quality great and Dr. Garrod keeps the pace brisk.

Great production!

Informative, well structured and very interesting! This podcast gives a nice overview into the life, evolution and “decline” of the dinosaurs . Must listen!

Great episodes about dinosaurs

Loved every episode. It may help to have a pdf of photos of the dinosaurs mentioned along with their names and also the fossils mentioned were quite intriguing that I wanted to see some visuals. Still overall a great listen.
