Gamer's Guide to Ecology

I`m back! For the first episode of Season 2 I'm chatting with Matt Storm. Matt's a longtime lover of the Kirby franchise and the perfect choice to give me the lore rundown of this lovable pink blob. In this episode we talk about our falling out with gaming consoles, Kirby's mouthful modes and combat abilities, and the real-world similarities of Kirby's ability to "sequestering".

In the final episode of Season 1 I'm joined by photographer, podcaster and D&D 5e actual play streamer Josh Bingaman (@josketh on Twitter). Josh and I nerd out about what it was like to grow up playing Pokemon, what keeps us coming back (time and time again) to the games, what we think of the newest game "Pokemon Legends: Arceus" and what it could mean for the franchise moving forward. Podcast art by Lara LeBlanc, theme music by Bret Eagleston (breteagleston.bandcamp.com) Hosted on Acast.

I have been a fan of Pokemon for 20 years, and this game is a dream come true. Come have a listen and learn about ecological topics like phenotypic variation, relative abundance, metamorphosis and symbiosis! I had so much fun playing this game, and I hope you will too! Pokemon is a great game to learn about ecology. Go catch 'em all!Podcast art by Lara LeBlanc, music by Bret Eagleston (breteagleston.bandcamp.com) Hosted on Acast.

In this episode I chat about Geralt, Ecologist of Rivia, er... Witcher. Come learn about how real-life necrophages help maintain the nutrient cycle, why I think Insectoid monsters are incorrectly named, and hear the proof that some monsters in this game are highly eusocial.Music by Bret Eagleston (@breadeagles, breteagleston.bandcamp.com), Podcast art by Lara LeBlanc.
