All June, we’ll be exploring giant monster movies, specifically looking at two of the most famous examples of all time: King Kong and Godzilla.

Hey guys, I love your podcasts and would like thank deeply the phD student (sorry, I don't know her name. Names are always difficult for me when not in my native language). But if I may suggest something, it would be better to have your voices on a more similar volume. The angiosperms specialists voice was much lauter than the one of you boys.
