Episode 16 - Revisiting The Great Dinosaur Hunt with Phil CurrieDescription
Dylan crosses off one of his childhood dreams as he speaks with the highly respected Canadian paleontologist Phil Currie. Currie was a key member of the Canada-China Dinosaur Project, documented in The Great Dinosaur Hunt which Dylan had on repeat on VHS throughout his youth. During their chat, Currie delves into his love of Troodon, what it was like to form the relationship between the Chinese and Canadian parties, following in the footsteps of Roy Chapman Andrews, overcoming limitations and knowing when to quit, unearthing Mamenchisaurus and Sinraptor in the Gobi, rescuing a friend from a blizzard in the Arctic, diving into a gold mine of fossils in the mythic Bayan Mandahu, and remaining hopeful that dinosaurs will keep people's interest in science alive.
