Topics covered include paleontology (paleo), natural history, history (and prehistory), geology, art, mathematics, geography, earth sciences, life science, zoology, evolution, and culture.
Past dino episodes have dealt with dinosaur armor, big dinosaurs, small dinosaurs, bones, cannibalism, cartilage, carnivorous animals and predators, herbivorous animals and prey, claw, crest, courtship, dueling, facial features, feathers, being flightless, gliding, natural disasters (like with a volcano and lava, which forms igneous rock, and tsunami), natural science, opals, sail, sedimentary layers, skeletons, skulls, smell, species, spikes, termites, mating, microscopes, the last days of the dinos (and how the asteroid impact crater made them go extinct). Also, the atmosphere, bacterial infections, a cabin made of fossils, calcium, charcoal, comets, dinosaur hunter, and common misconceptions.

Microraptor revisited and April Fowl's Day
We have so many Microraptor specimens we know the color of their feathers, how they molted, what they ate, and much more. Plus a new hypothesis for why the first wings may have evolved. On a lighter note we cover some famous pop-culture dinosaurs: Rodan, Godzillasaurus, Ultimasaurus, and Toronto's Raptor mascot.
