Baby, it's cold outside

Last summer, I did a show in which we talked about how plants and critters adapt to the heat. This week, we threw our thing down, flipped it, and reversed it to talk about how our friends in chilly places deal with frigid temperatures. Responses can be behavioral (e.g. migration) or physiological (e.g. short limbs). Check out the January 19th show (download podcast here) to learn more.

In the news...

• Neanderthals' looks not from cold
• Friendly influence of genes
• Counting drunk sports fans

For the sound quiz, we heard from some polar animals like the Greenland collared lemming and Gentoo penguin.


Music featured included Leonard Cohen, Broadcast, Birdy Nam Nam, Caribou, Wintersleep, This Heat, and more!
