Ever wondered how a strawberry-infused gin and tonic could spice up your summer afternoon? On this episode, we trade in our usual beers for a refreshing cocktail creation. As Kate navigates the whimsical world of household temperature debates with her husband, Nathan, and their playful cat, Oliver, Bradley dazzles us with a gin and tonic featuring a twist of strawberry puree, lime, and mint. With guidance from his mom, Bradley embarks on his first puree-making adventure, and we toast to new concoctions while troubleshooting a minor audio hiccup along the way.
Journey with us back to the early 19th century as we uncover the life of Mary Anning—a remarkable fossil hunter whose legacy was nearly buried under the weight of her gender and social status. Despite the societal constraints, Anning's discoveries, including the ichthyosaur and plesiosaur, carved her name into the annals of paleontology and helped solidify the Jurassic Coast as a fossil hunting wonderland. We also reflect on how her sketches and findings contributed to the scientific recognition she deserved but often did not receive, and highlight her collaboration with prominent scientists of her time.
Before wrapping up, we let our curiosity guide us into the quirky world of idioms, pondering origins and peculiarities of English expressions like "costs an arm and a leg." Our deep appreciation for listener engagement fuels our passion for these linguistic mysteries, and we invite you to share your favorite idioms or historical curiosities with us. As we sign off, we're already brewing the next round of historical buffoonery, promising more laughter, learning, and lively discussions in future episodes. Stay curious, because the buffoonery never stops!
