Fascinating content, great narration

I have really enjoyed this first podcast series. Each episode discusses and explains the ancient flora and fauna discovered in specific fossil beds in different locations around the world. Narration is clear and unhurried, the author’s descriptions allow for good visualisation of the past animals, plants and ecosystems uncovered. Altogether thoroughly enjoyable, I have learned many new facts (some of the sites I had never heard of before) and hope there will be more episodes to come.
