BIO 100 Orange Coast College Week 12 Ologies Episodes on Bugs Discussion

Instructions:

Choose one of the Ologies podcasts in the categories linked below. They’re all about an hour long. Some may contain cursing, so if you’d like a bleeped version, find them here (Links to an external site.). All episodes can be found on iTunes or Spotify, or whatever app you use to get podcasts. I use the app “podcast addict” myself. I hope you like this podcast, it’s nerdy and funny, while also being educational. The motto of Ologies is “ask smart people stupid questions.”

Listen to the episode of your choosing while you’re doing dishes, working out, driving, whatever. Listen with your family, your significant other, your neighbor or friends (if they’re in your covid bubble). There’s guaranteed to be some interesting conversations when you’re done. This isn’t intended to have you sitting down in one spot hyper focused on the episode. My goal is for this to be a fun way to explore some invertebrates.

While you’re listening, take notes on what you learned, anything that surprised you, and your general reaction to the episode.

Prompt:

In a discussion post, share about your experience listening to this podcast. Tell us about what you took away from the episode, some interesting things you learned, and your experience learning through this medium.

In replies to two peers, find something in their podcast review you’d like to know more about, or share information about their podcast that you’re familiar with that you find interesting. Was their podcast about snails and you know about this one crazy youtube video about snails? Share it!
