We’d go into more detail but we don’t have much time or mushroom, so let’s just say: It’s About Fungus. We read The Girl With All The Gifts by M.R. Carey and Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer.

This ep we’re outsmarted by award-winning science journalist and Director of Content for Science Alert, Fiona MacDonald, and evolutionary- and micro-biologist, Director and CEO of the multi-university Sydney Institute of Marine Science, and Professor of Biology at The University of New South Wales, Professor Peter Steinberg (who is also Alex’s dad).

Part 1 is right here, and totally spoiler free.

Part 2 is totally spoiler full.

Head on over to Omny.fm, iTunes, Google Play, Soundcloud or wherever you usually get your podcasts from.
