Pssst! We're going inside the Museum for 'Spectacular Specimens'
Inside every drawer, cabinet, and freezer at Seattle’s Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture lies a collection of spectacular specimens (...that’s right, dead animals used for research)!
Join hosts Brandi Fullwood and Paige Browning to unlock extraordinary tales: an ancient dinosaur crime scene, a fiercely cute wrestling sea otter, and a colony of flesh-eating beetles that strip animal bones clean… all in the name of science!
And that’s just the start–the first three episodes drop January 21, wherever you get your podcasts!
