  • Summary

  • It’s only in the last decade that palaeontologists have finally agreed on the events that led to the demise of (most of) the dinosaurs - a huge asteroid strike in what we now know as the Yucatan Peninsular in Mexico.

    Ben presents the evidence built up over the last 40 years. He also learns why birds might have been spared and what the fall of the dinosaurs meant for today’s most dominant group - the mammals.

Interesting and entertaining

I quite liked this book, it reminded me of my geology class and the unit about different time periods. Personally I think it was a bit too short but it was still a good listen

Brilliant

Enjoyed it so much. Mind blowing at times but not too technical and 30 minute episodes means that you aren't overloaded with info. Recommended!

An amazing history lesson

I was captivated by this telling of the history of dinosaurs. The author includes many specialists in their field to add detail and believability. I found myself pausing just long enough to look up pictures and take notes. Wish all Professors could do this good a job. Plan to relisten multiple times!!

I love Dinosaurs

lots of good information. included most of the newer theories of dinosaur evolution. I love dinosaurs when I was a kid when they were dumb drab lumbering "reptiles". They are even more intriguing since so many diligent researchers are discovering new species, derailed chacteristics and even behaviors of these amazing creatures.

Really enjoyable

I’m more interested in the oceans than dinosaurs however I found this podcast more user friendly than the other one on oceans, so make of that what you will. However this was another really enjoyable and interesting listen.

Very interesting

Really enjoyed this podcast, excellent narration and story line, not sure if the title is a little misleading as the information sometimes felt it was pitched at children but either way a great listen, can we please have a follow up podcast

More episodes, please

Best listen in a while. It’s so versatile and insightful. The topics explored are not what you’d expect in the best possible way. Please do more episodes because it’s so so so so good.

Very interesting

Never been overly interested in dinosaurs, maybe it's because I never got taught how the science worked to get answers. Now I'm hooked.
