- 180 - Do Crows Really Hold a Grudge? 🐦⬛
Did you know a crow can remember your face? If it decides you're trouble, it can recognize you years later, and it might tell its friends. Even ones that never met you.Tonight's question comes from Anthony in Okemos, Michigan, who'd heard that crows hold grudges passed down through generations. We find out what a group of scientists in Seattle discovered when they tested it with rubber masks, and why "grudge" turns out not to be quite the right word. Have a question of your own?

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 - 130 - Animal Super Powers: Giant Pandas 🐼
In this episode we explore three remarkable adaptations that help giant pandas thrive in the misty bamboo forests of China. We'll discover the "false thumb"—a special wrist bone that works like an extra finger for gripping slippery bamboo stalks. We'll learn how pandas manage a low-nutrition diet by eating for up to 16 hours a day while conserving energy between meals. And we'll explore how these solitary bears navigate steep mountain slopes, communicate through scent messages, and raise cubs that start life smaller than a stick of butter.

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 - 125 - How Things Work: How Helicopters Stay in the Air 🚁🌙
In this episode, we picture a helicopter’s spinning rotor as a moving wing that makes lift; notice how blade pitchchanges lift; and hear how pilots use the collective (up/down), the cyclic (lean the “flying circle” to drift forward/sideways), and the pedals with the tail rotor to keep the nose steady. We touch on translational lift, ground effect, and the reassuring idea of autorotation—how helicopters can glide safely if the engine has a problem. Grown-ups: we value your feedback.
