  • Episode 033: The Bone Collector / Origin of the Moon
    May 4 2026

    In this episode, Nick introduces us to a rare and unusual caterpillar, one that's carnivorous, cannibalistic, hides in spiderwebs, and makes armor out of the bones of its prey. Then, Dave reveals the origin of the moon. If you think you already know how the moon formed, the truth is weirder and wilder than you thought!
