1036: Left-handedness, Monsters of God, & The Industry of Ice
Sarah got Susie amazing birthday gifts, and you all are going to be very jealous! We learn the science of left-handedness, why it's still so mysterious, and what makes it so exceptional among animals. We discuss the new Monsters of God docuseries, which covers the reptile and snake trade, smuggling, and the ways the criminals are in cahoots with zoos. We find out the history of the ice industry, and learn why it is so dang fascinating, what affects business that you'd NEVER expect, and why it should be treated like water and electricity in terms of its role as a public utility.
