Show Notes

For however many people are on Earth today, it's a drop in the bucket compared to all the insect, spiders, and arthropods that also populate the world around us. There is no avoiding them, so we might as well learn to coexist. When we put our prejudices aside, the lives of these critters can be quite fascinating. There is no one better equipped to spread enthusiasm for bugs than Andrine Shufran, director of OSU Insect Adventure, the Stillwater home to a fascinating menagerie of beetles, centipedes, and so much more. With summer vacation upon us, there is no better time to plan your trip for some hands-on educational encounters.

Also in this episode, the editors share their personal favorite bugs, and podvents takes us to Ponca City for a one-of-a-kind mural festival. You won't want to miss it!
