Description

So much going on: Shatner goes to space, the astroquarks ponder time travel, Tunguska may have been a near miss, free neutron decay holds the key to the universe, Fast Radio Bursts become more puzzling, and Strange Quark absolutely does not want any tortoises or any creatures at all, for that matter, to be harmed! Join us and special guest Dr. Hannah Sargeant for all this, Captain Kirk trivia, and more.

Phanerozoic Eon

Periods and eras come and go, but if you want to be sure to capture all the action, go no further than the Phanerozoic Eon. Starting with a Cambrian explosion and definitely not going out with a whimper, the Phanerozoic Eon has everything from the first formation of animal fossils, to the extinction of dinosaurs, and the development of podcasts. At a mere 541 million years old, the Phanerozoic Eon is just getting started, so make your travel plans for the Phanerozoic Eon, with stops at the Cambrian Café, the Devonian Diner, the Permian Palisades, Paleogene Blue Jeans, and Silurian Silverware. The Phanerozoic Eon, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking (Timex).
