Join me as I talk with John Mitchinson: co-creator of the British trivia show QI and chief publishing officer at Unbound. We discuss the weird and wacky creatures that are water bears, the Rubix cube world record holder, and which animal is able to survive a Supernova explosion. Dive in to explore Dickens' publishing know-how and the heroism of moss-piglets.

S3E4: Ellen & Octopuses

We're all animals. Sometimes we forget that. Thankfully, the Human Nature Cast is here to set things straight. Join us each Saturday for lively interviews with public figures that set out how amazingly diverse Homo sapiens can be, as well as our inseverable connection to our animal friends. From authors and animators to athletes and adventurers, from composers to comedians, we celebrate the wonders of Human Nature. And, with the help of 8.7 million animal species, we start to unravel the true meaning of life! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
