episode 5: The World of Matriarchal Squid
In an ocean surrounded by a miles-deep sheet of ice, the lady squid reign supreme. Don't let their artsy mating rituals and inverted ice mountaineering fool you; they will rip your head off and throw it to the vents.
HOSTED by Moiya McTier (@GoAstroMo), astrophysicist and folklorist
